    It must be a May thing.

    So as I was doing my usual evening run-through of internet happenings, I realized that this poor blog hasn’t been touched since last Thursday. Our apologies, dear readers. It must be a May thing. See, last May I had to give up blogging for the entire month. Things were too hectic, life was too scattered, and adding one more thing to my plate felt like a chore. While things definitely aren’t that bad this year, I will say that for some reason this seems to be a pretty crazy month! My lovely co-blogger is currently quite pregnant, and very busy…

    A Quarterly Goals Update

    Hello lovely bookish people! I’ll bet you thought that I had vanished, hm? I know I haven’t had time to sit down and actually write a post in here that wasn’t a review or a spotlight. Once upon a time I wrote random posts constantly. Lately though, blogging has had to take a back seat. I still read like mad, and review whenever possible, but the days of extra time to ramble on have passed. Still, I’ll pop in here when I can! I thought I’d do a post about some updates to my reading goals this year. Since, you…

    Sunday Funday!

    Happy Sunday to all of you lovely bookworms out there! I hope your weekend has been full of fun and excitement or at least some relaxation and a good book. The problem with weekends is that there are finite. By the time Sunday afternoon rolls around you’ve already started thinking about your to-do list at work on Monday and it ruins the fun.  So today, dear readers, I give you permission to pretend it’s still Saturday. Forget that you have to set an alarm tomorrow and be a functioning adult. Stay up late, go out with friends/family or simply enjoy…

    We’re Still Here!

    Hello awesome followers! And happy February! Isn’t it crazy that a whole month of 2015 has already come and gone? If I think about it too long, I start to feel anxious. So I’m going to just enjoy February while it lasts :). This is just a quick note to let you know that we’re still here! Tina is very busy at work, and at home, while I’m currently transitioning into a new job. So, you might not see us post as much for the next few weeks. Life, unfortunately (someone hurry up and hire me to read!), takes precedence…

    Feel Good Friday

    Picture of the day: Tea is my best friend this week. Lemon tea, orange tea, green tea… all of the teas! You see, it is the season of germs and silly me thought I could avoid catching the hubby’s cold. No such luck 🙁  It’s times like these that I would love to stay in bed with my cup of tea and read all day. Sadly adult responsibilities make that a near impossibility. Between work obligations and trying to keep the house at a tolerable level of clean, I’m in bed by 9 pm every night out of pure exhaustion.…

    Sunday Funday: Harry Potter Season!

    Happy Sunday my lovely bookworms! Harry Potter Season has officially started in my household (yes, HP gets it’s own season, don’t judge!). This weekend I marathon watched the last 4 movies, although I’ve seen every movies multiple times they never seem to get old. HP season is the beginning of the holidays for me. Rum cake baking, Christmas card making and HP watching season is my favorite of the year. When we get back from Thanksgiving travels it will be decorating time! This is our second year in the house but the first year we’re decorating and I’m pretty excited.…
