October 2021 Reading Wrap-Up
You all know me by now. I absolutely love spooky season. So, in the spirit of the holiday, I spent the month of October reading exclusively spooky books. And I had a marvelous time. In total, I read seven books: four adult novels, one adult novella, one YA novel, and one children’s short story collection. [...]
September 2021 Reading Wrap-Up
September was interesting, to say the least. I started my new job as an instructional assistant in an elementary/middle school and so far am actually really enjoying it. It has its downsides (as with any job), but I really like helping the kids. Given that September was so busy for me, I’m actually impressed at [...]
August 2021 Reading Wrap-Up

Hello, hello hello! I’m baaaaaack!!! This past month has been pretty busy. My aunt came to visit for a week, so I hung out with her. Then I was cat-sitting while my parents were out of town. And this past week, I was working on a massive project: listing all my unhauled books on Depop [...]
Mid-Year Book Freakout Tag: 2021 Edition!
2021 has been a weird year for me so far. I swear I’m a completely different person now than I was six months ago. But one thing hasn’t changed: my desire to do the Mid-Year Book Freakout Tag. This will be my fifth time doing this tag (if you’re interested, here are all four past [...]
June 2021 Reading Wrap-Up
Normally, I’d open this particular wrap-up with a jovial tone and Pride jokes but… June was intense for me this year. Not necessarily in a negative way, but it was a lot and I have eight books to talk about. So no preamble this time. In June, I read six books and DNF’d two. Of [...]
April & May 2021 Reading Wrap-Up
So, I’ll be honest. I don’t know what my plans are for this blog right now. I’m not abandoning it, but I just haven’t felt very motivated to write for it this year. I haven’t had the bandwidth for it since January. Hell, I’ve been working on this post for two months! That said, I [...]
