July is officially over, and I hope that the extreme Summer heat will soon follow suit. I know we probably still have another month of 90 and 100° heat, but I am dreaming of the coming days when I will be able to comfortably eat lunch in my car with the windows down, and drive... Continue Reading →
I found this incredibly fun and unique tag over at The Comfy Reader and it was originally created by MeltingPotsAndOtherCalamaties. I wasn't tagged but I love everything about this tag so I am jumping in on it! Purr: As cats do when they're happy or relaxed, what is the book that makes you happiest or... Continue Reading →
Short-term reading challenges are a wonderful tool for helping readers stay on track with reading goals, tackle difficult books, and just have fun. With that in mind, I am taking on three reading challenges this summer. Two of these challenges are hosted by other book bloggers I follow, and the third is my local library's... Continue Reading →
Today is twice as good as most days because A) it's Friday and B) I get to talk about one of my new favorite books! I listened to The Keeper of the Lost Cities audiobook while my work was closed, and I am blown away by how good this book is. I can't wait to read the rest of the series! So, today I'm going to share with you 5 reasons I loved The Keeper of the Lost Cities, and I hope you will find at least one reason that encourages you to read it, too!
This review contains major spoilers for the MILA 2.0 trilogy, especially the last book, Redemption. Today's post also mentions suicide (as does the book). This is not like most of the reviews that I write, and it is not at all balanced. It's rare that I want to truly warn people away from a book; even when... Continue Reading →
We are so close to Christmas that I can almost taste it! I'm making a (not so) sweet potato casserole to take to an extended family celebration, and this will be the first time I have made something for this. It's also the first time I will be included in the "grown up" category for... Continue Reading →
Happy Friday, Readers! I hope your first full week of October went well, and that you are enjoying some (at least slightly) cooler weather. The A/C is out at my library again, but we're managing much better this time around since it's not 100 degrees outside anymore. Mostly, I'm thriving on sugar free pumpkin and... Continue Reading →
Hey y’all! How is your week going? It’s fair season around here, and although I personally don’t plan on going to the state fair, I’m still inundated with reminders that it is happening. Call it what you want, there is just no way I am enticed by paying to go to such a crowded, chaotic,… Continue Reading →
Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a good weekend. Mine was productive and refreshing, even though I had a headache for a large portion of it. I did some reading, knitting, and cleaning. Today's post is a follow-up to last week's TBR post. I got a bit carried away with putting things on reserve at... Continue Reading →
Hey y'all! Today's post is August's #SpellTheMonthInBooks! #SpellTheMonthInBooks is a feature I see a lot on Instagram, and decided to adapt to a full post here on my blog. To participate, take a picture (or make a list - or both) of books that line up to spell the current month. I do this more... Continue Reading →
