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 [...]

Book Blogger Hop: My Last DNF
Book Blogger Hop is a weekly meme hosted by Billy of Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Reader that runs from Friday to Thursday in which bloggers answer a book-related prompt. It’s a great way to provide some insight into yourself and introduce yourself to some great new blogs. What was the last book you started [...]
July 2020 Reading Wrap-Up
So July was a month. Overall, it was just more 2020. The upside is I got a new job! Yay for me! But what about my reading? In July, I read six books: two novels, one non-fiction book, three graphic novels, and one poetry book. Unfortunately, I also (tentatively) DNF’d a book. Overall, the quality [...]
The Worst & Most Disappointing Books of 2019
In 2019, I decided to read for quality over quantity. Combined with the fact that I’ve started reading more adult books and have gotten better at picking out books I think I’ll like, this has made for a great reading year. Unfortunately, there were still a few stinkers. The good news is there were far [...]
June 2019 Wrap-Up
Hello, hello, hello! It’s time to wrap up all the books I read in June. Last month I read three novels and two short stories. I was in a bit of a reading slump and went through a period where I didn’t want to read anything. I blame my broken ankle. Fortunately, I can report [...]
March 2019 Wrap-Up
I’ve got to say, even though I’m not reading as many books as I used to, 2019 has been a really good reading year for me so far. March is no exception. This month I read four novels and two graphic novels/memoirs. And I didn’t rate anything below three stars. I also DNF-ed a book. [...]
Books I DNF-ed in 2018
As I’ve gotten older, I’ve gotten better about not forcing myself to read books I’m not enjoying. Why waste time and energy on a book that sucks? However, I’ve also gotten a lot better at choosing books that fit my interests. That has lessened my need to DNF books. In fact, I only had to [...]
End of the Year DNF List
Despite my grueling reading year, I have a wonderful announcement to make: I completed my reading challenge! That’s right, I read 100 books this year (several of which were graphic novels and poetry collections)! To celebrate, I am doing nothing. However, I do still have a few books I need to talk about before the [...]
My Top 6 Worst Books of 2017
Well, well, well. Here we are at the end of my 2017 worst lists. Of course, it’s not the end of all my lists, but it’s the last of the bottom-of-the-barrel content. 2017 has been a rough reading year for me. I gave myself a reading goal of one hundred, which was a mistake. I’m [...]
