Can’t Wait Wednesday: The Fox and the Devil
Happy Wednesday friends! If you’ve made it this far, just know that you’re doing amazingly well! I know the world can feel pretty heavy lately. So I’ve taken to marking every Wednesday as an accomplishment. I survived the first half of the week, how about that? My book choice this week was actually sent to me as a review copy by Del Rey (thank you!) and I immediately fell in love. I mean… look at this COVER. If that didn’t already convince you, take a good look at the synopsis because that’s what really sold me on reading this. I…

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? (9/29/25)
Happy Monday bookish people! This morning started with a doctor’s visit and some updated vaccines, so I’m feeling a bit sluggish today. I’m at home though, so I’m able to work from my bed and drink plenty of tea. So it’s all good! I actually had a really relaxing weekend, with ample time to read books. As the weather cools down, I become more and more myself. Want to see what I’ve been reading? Let’s go! Read Last Week: After having Truly Devious by Maureen Johnson on my shelf since approximately 6 months before it actually released, I finally read…

Things settle down, the weather cools, and it’s finally nice enough to throw open the windows and cozy up underneath a blanket to read. I simply can’t wait to dive into my spooky season reading!

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? (3/17/25)
Happy Monday bookish people! Here’s hoping that you had a good weekend, and that today is treating you well. The time change always kicks but my butt, because I’m now back to waking up when there is no sun outside and I’m always so TIRED from that. I know it’ll improve soon though, and so I’m just chugging along. Soon I’ll blink and it will be summer and I’ll be complaining about how hot it is hahaha. Anyway, the books have been flowing, so let’s take a look at where things are this week, shall we? Read Last Week: Last…

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? (2/3/25)
Happy Monday my reader friends! I hope that you’re all doing okay. I know the last two weeks have been…. rough. I’ve been reading as much as I can, when I feel like it, but it has slowed down. On a happy note though, I’ve still yet to read a book that I didn’t enjoy. So that’s always a good thing! I’m going to keep DNFing as much it takes to avoid reading a book that doesn’t make me happy. Let’s take a look at where things are this week, shall we? Read Last Week: Last week I finished All…

Top Ten Tuesday: New-to-Me Authors I Discovered in 2024
Hello friends, and happy Tuesday! Here's hoping that the week so far is treating you kindly, and that you have some good reads on deck to escape from reality when necessary. It finally rained here in LA and, thankfully, that means the fires here are under control. Now it's a matter of watching for mudslides and ash run-off. If you have some funds to give, LA firefighters and displaced families can still use your help! It's going to take a while to get everything back to even semi-normal. Don't forget about them, okay?

Sunday Post #1: A Long Week
This week felt so long, and exhausting, despite the fact that Monday was a holiday from work. I mean I know exactly why it did. Still I was emotionally drained and so very happy when it was finally Friday again. I’ve spent my weekend doing my best to unwind and recharge. Don’t forget to take care of yourselves, friends. Rest is productive. A quiet week, yes. No brain power was had. And, if we’re being honest, probably a rambling post as well. I try to keep this blog a mix of posts that are book related and just a place…

Top Ten Tuesday: Bookish Goals for 2025
Hello friends, and happy Tuesday! As you probably saw from my post on Sunday, last week was a rough one. My workplace still hasn’t allowed us to come back in physically, and it kind of feels like I’m living in a weird in-between place. But things are slowly getting better, and the outpouring of community love to those who need it most has been amazing. People can be wonderful, and they can surprise you. Bookish Goals for 2025 I kind of started this post when the year started, but I’ve had some time to sit down and really think about…

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? (1/6/25)
Happy Monday my reader friends! The year has just begun, and I’m pleased to report that I’ve started it with a lot of great reads. Pretty much all in progress if I’m being honest. But hey, that’s the way to start things off, right? New year, same me. The reader who starts four books at the same time because she’s a glutton for punishment hahaha. Let’s take a look at where things are this week, shall we? Read Last Week: Last week I finished one last book when The Pretty Ones by Ania Ahlborn came in on my library hold…
