Book Lady Linda’s May 2025 Reading Report & Diary
My plan for May is to finish reading books I’ve started then set aside for various reasons. I have a shelf full of them. Since I’ve decided to “read what I own” in 2025 I think this will help me make progress. I pledged to read 100 books I already own before I buy anymore. So far this year I’ve read only 10. (Audiobooks are not counted in this challenge, so I can continue to buy and read as many of them as I want/need/desire.)

Saying More About My Life :: Heart :: Journaling June :: Boxes
How should I use this blog? Sometimes I want to say more than can be said in my monthly reading diary, so I’ve decided to resume writing more general articles here. After all, what is a blog if not a place to share our hearts with our readers?

Clean Reads Reading Plan
I am tired of reading recently written novels with trash in them. By trash I mean anything that offends, like violence, cursing and sex scenes. Today’s literature often carries all three to extremes. In the last few years I’ve been exposed to many types of literature and I’ve decided to back off and only read what makes me happy, so I’ve developed a new reading plan.

Life Changes, Vanlife, Travel, the Klamath River, and Me
It is almost the end of January and I haven’t posted anything since December. That’s because my life has been in a state of upheaval for months. Well, that is ending. I’ve moved from North Idaho and settled back into my former (and now current) hometown in Northern California, in the Klamath National Forest. The Lord has blessed me greatly here during the last few months.
