January Wrap Up, Part 2
Let’s start off with how I did on my goals shall we… First, I did not manage to read Heart on Fire or The Stone Sky this month because, well, I don’t really have a good excuse, honestly. And I am still interested in both books. I’m going to push myself to pick up The…

February TBR
Well, I managed to stick to my TBR in January, for the most part, so here’s hoping February goes as well! This month is, of course, Black History Month, and while I think we should all read books by Black authors year round, there are some books by Black authors languishing on my TBR (because…

January Wrap Up, Part One
It’s somehow mid-January and honestly, I don’t understand how time works. Last week was so long I genuinely thought two weeks had gone by and yet I’m still amazed that we’re already fifteen days into the new year. Every time I make a meal in my instant pot, I’m like, “Wow, I’m doing so great…

Best Non-Romance of 2018
I literally read 200 romance books last year, which is wild, but makes sense because 2018 was such a drain on me, mentally, emotionally, physically… You get it. It’s not that it was a bad year for me personally. I got the job I desperately wanted, but it meant moving out to the mountains and…

Hi, yes, I’m blatantly cheating at this whole ten books of favorites this year. And it’s probably worse than my cheating from last year, but let’s just ignore that.

December Wrap Up, Pt. 2
How is it already January 1, 2019? 2018 was a decade long, but somehow the month of December flew by? Are all years like this? I don’t think so, but time is an illusion. Okay, confession: I’m sick and when I’m sick, I get extra melodramatic, which is already like a key component of my…
