It seems that 2022 is officially . . . *checks notes* . . . over? Huh. Well, I guess we all know what time it is now, right? No, I’m not talking about party time (which should be passed by now, as New Year’s was days ago, so it’s time to wrap it up!). I […]
This month is Pride Month, which I figure means I should do at least one listicle post about all the wonderful LGBTQ+ books I’ve read (and some still on my TBR). Because phew, there are a lot of great LGBTQ+ books that deserve some love. One of my bookish goals last year was to read […]

It may come as no surprise to anyone who’s known me for longer than 30 seconds that I am incredibly picky. I mean when it comes to books, of course. I tend not to give a whole ton of five stars in a year, because … well, I’m terribly hard to please. To me, a […]
Everyone loves a good quote, right? I knew someone who had the habit of writing down good quotes she came across while reading, and then she’d squirrel the quote away and sneak it into a different book. When I asked why she did it, it was twofold: to share a bit of something she loved […]
