Welcome!

Welcome to Mongan Moments, a personal and lifestyle blog and home to the Diversify Your Reading Challenge.

About Me

About Me

Kelly Mongan

My name is Kelly, and I'm just another one of those American girls who fell in love with a British accent.

I'm a lover of coffee, wine & craft beer, and all things American - baseball, summer BBQs, and Thanksgiving, to name a few. I'm a traveler with a desire to get to know every corner of this earth, but nothing makes me happier than curling up with a good book and a glass of wine at home.

I currently reside in South West London with my husband, Sean, and our dog, Giorgio. Join us as we renovate our home, navigate marriage, prance about town, and attempt to live the best life possible each and every day. And stay tuned to hear about all the books we read along the way!

These are our Mongan Moments.

I think yes! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Anyway, here’s a stack of books I’m hoping I’ll miraculously get through before the end of the month.
