TBR Status: Mildly deflated. Read more than I added. Wait … am I doing this right? This feels … wrong. I know I keep saying I’m going to slow down my acquisition of books, with everything going on in my life right now, and I haven’t yet. But February’s book haul was … kind of […]
You know what they say: laughter is the best medicine! Except for … you know … actual medicine. But nevertheless! With everything going on in the world lately, I feel like we could all use a bit of a laugh, right? Not that laugh-cry thing you do when you listen the evening news, either, but […]
Today is officially Mardi Gras, which means it’s time to partayyyyy! By which I mean sit home, where it’s safe and warm, and talk about all the books we want to read. If I’m honest, that is always my sort of party, as I think many of you introverts will agree. Hey, we can have […]
Valentine’s Day is coming up, which mean love is in the air. None of that gooey, mushy, melty sort, though, please. If you’re like me, romance to you means something a little different. Namely, it’s a bit more … complicated. Like sure, okay, they clearly care about each other, but one of them may just […]
TL;DR: All of them. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk. Drive home safely now. Okay, maybe not quite all of them, but some days it sure feels like that. Before I joined the book blog community in 2018, I honestly didn’t read much. I mean, if you asked, I’d say I was a reader […]
TBR Status: Wait … 2021 resolutions? Request less books on NetGalley? Mmm, nope, that doesn’t ring any bells! I think you can all see where this is headed. I’m doing swimmingly at my goals for this year already, and it’s only January. Look at me, totally killing it. Literally. It’s dead, Jim. 2021 has already […]
That title is a really nice way to put the fact that 2020 woke up one day and just threw my TBR out the window and laughed. Not even a good, proper villain laugh. You know, the sort that’s all deep and rumbly that you grudgingly have to admit they were obviously born for the […]
After the decade that was 2020, I feel like we can use some good things to look forward to, right? Other than, you know, an asteroid that wipes humanity off the Earth and saves us all … through annihilation? That seems a bit drastic. Looking forward to books is probably better for your health and […]
♫ I know that I can’t take no more, it ain’t no lie. I want to see you out that door. Baby, bye bye bye. ♬ As part of my ever-ongoing goal to become even more efficient with the books I read, I’ve followed my tradition of DNF’ing books after 15%. If I’m not into […]
2020 has been a decade, but you know, at least something good came out of it. Namely, these books! My original goal for 2020 was to read 150 books, my stretch goal was 175, and my stretch stretch goal was 200. I ended up reading a whopping 180 books, which is way more than I […]
