Dear Readers, How are we halfway through the year already! And believe it or not, this blog is almost 7 months old! If you've read my ramblings and rants this far, I cannot thank you enough. I would write about books even if I was the last person on the planet, but it's great to know I'm not alone in this endeavour. This set of books was pretty good, and even the worst thing I (re)read gave me…
Dear Readers, I'm starting to see folks post their mid-year book freakout videos on booktube. Along with the end of year videos, I love watching these, adding more titles to my ever growing tbr and seeing what folks have to say about titles I've read. While looking into who began the tag, I learned that it was created by a pair of book bloggers back in 2014. I'll attach a link to their original…
Dear Readers, As a kid whenever I was asked on what I wanted to be when I grew up, my answers were typically either an author or a librarian. Since I loved to read, I thought that writing was the logical next step. Now I certainly do write as a hobby, but I've come to realize I enjoy writing about stories more than writing them myself. Now my desire to work in a library derived from a misguided…
Dear Readers, Two posts in a month, I know, I know. I don't know about you, but the changing of seasons always makes me want to read more. The heat waves last year got to the point where I didn't even want to leave the house during the worst of it, and I'm sure this summer will be similar, if not worse. It won't solve anything, but sipping smoothies in an air-conditioned room will be the song of…
It has been a hot minute since I've last posted dear readers. Part of the radio silence is because I was so busy in April, and part of it is because April was a mostly mediocre reading month. I dropped a lot of books, and I subjected myself to some pretty middle of the road reads, which is just unforgivable. Thankfully, I have broken out of the mediocre book curse since then. In the interest of…
Apologies readers for the radio silence between my introduction post and my next post. Time moves differently when you're disabled, and it's something I am learning not to begrudge myself for. Grand ideas and ambitions you have can be set back by weeks as flare-ups give no consideration to your needs. I've been trying to forgive myself for this more, to reframe time lost to illness, time I thought…
For the longest time, I've wanted to make a book blog, but I was always daunted by the task of starting it. Truth be told, I've thought about making this blog since January 2021, but I never felt like I had the perfect first post. The longer I put it off, the more books I read, and the more I read, the more I longed to let people know what I was reading. My friends already indulge me as I give…
