Better late than never! #swensonreads #swensonreads2018
Didn‘t make my Goodreads goal last year, but new baby made for far fewer reading opportunities.
Here‘s to reaching my 100 book goal for 2019!

I have been so absent from this wonderful community for the last few months, and I‘m so excited to be back and posting! Here‘s my very thin August-October list of reads. Gotta push to make my 75 books by the end of the year. Thanks in advance for all your wonderful posts and reviews to keep me reading great books! #litsyrocks #swensonreads #swensonreads2018

Hazel Wood | Melissa Albert

I‘m in a serious reading slump. All I can get into are audiobooks right now. *sigh*
Favorites were Song of Achilles and The Hazel Wood. #swensonreads #swensonreads2018

10% Happier: How I Tamed the Voice in My Head, Reduced Stress Without Losing My Edge, and Found Self-Help That Actually Works--A True Story | Dan Harris

Getting sleep and meal-prepping for our Whole30 (on day 19) are taking precedence over reading at the moment. #swensonreads #swensonreads2018

saresmoore Worth it! How is it going? 7y

Aswenson @saresmoore My husband and I both feel good! Not a cure-all for every ache and pain, but overall we just feel rejuvenated! We‘re now adding the kids into 2-3 meals a week to get them used to more veggies. 😁 7y

saresmoore That‘s great! No, it‘s not a cure-all, but life does improve progressively over time. My kids have benefitted the most from the change. They are rarely ever lethargic or cranky anymore. But the biggest difference for the whole family is that we rarely get sick! 7y

Aswenson @saresmoore How closely do you stick to the Whole30 rules year round? Less sickness sounds fantastic. I‘ve noticed my allergies haven‘t been acting up like they normally do this time of year. 7y

saresmoore For about two years, I stuck to the Whole30 rules religiously, except that I added back dark chocolate and Paleo baked goods. Now I have a few grains on the menu and a handful of lightly processed things for convenience. 7y

How to Stop Time | Matt Haig

April reads! Not reading as much as I thought I would on maternity leave. Hopefully my May books will hook me a bit more. 😉
I enjoyed Inspector Gamache from the Louise Penny novel. I ordered book one in that series to add to my TBR!
