Kate's Bookshelf 
I enjoy reading (when I have time in my busy life) and I’m always looking for suggestions! I’ll be sure to check out some of the books under ‘books women and girls will like’.
Also, I just read the post about running your first mile, congrats! It’s very easy to get discouraged because running is full of ups and downs. Ups when you feel great, downs when everything hurts. Take it one day at a time and hopefully it becomes something you enjoy doing on a regular basis. Take it from someone training for their first half marathon.
Good luck!
I haven’t updated my Bookshelf page in a while and I really need to. I hope those books are something you like. I’m always on the lookout for new fun books too. not that I have time either to read much.
Half-marathon is 13.1 miles. Full is… you guess it 26.2! Someday I would like to complete a full, but I’m just trying to get into the groove of running first 🙂 Walking or running are both excellent forms of exercise, so if running is just taking its toll, there are plenty of other options out there 🙂 Someday I won’t be running anymore, but I will probably always be swimming.
I like how you have Much Ado About Nothing on there. Little Shakespeare here and there is always good.
Why thank you! I agree. A bit of Shakespeare is just kind of crucial to me now. Like poetry and biographies. Just a touch. 🙂
