After visiting New York, my husband gifted me a subscription to The Strand’s The Book HookUp. We’d visited New York City for the first time at Christmas in 2018, stopping in at The Strand bookstore, of course, so it was the perfect gift. What I love about this subscription is that it’s quarterly, so not …
Hello Readers! I had a surprisingly good reading month (for me) in February. Especially since one of the the books I read was 800 pages. Most of the books I read this month were also from my backlist, which made me very happy. I know it’s only two months in, but so far my ARC …
Hello Readers! I had a nice reading month in January and you can check out my January Wrap-Up if you’d like to see what I read. I added quite a few books to my digital and physical shelves last month, although most of them were used or free, so I wasn’t too hard on myself …
Hello Readers! Happy New Year! First a little life update… December was a whirlwind for me. We took a fast and furious last minute trip to New York City when my husband needed to go for work (I’ve included a few highlights below)—which meant I didn’t decorate or shop for Christmas until I returned.

Hello Readers! November was a struggle for me. I participated in my 9th NaNoWrimo (National Novel Writing Month), but once again I was a #NaNoRebel, working on an existing project, which is never as fun as creating something new and shiny. I sludged through, wrapping up a day early, desperate to be done. BUT, I …
Hello Readers! October breezed right by for me. I’ve been loving the cooler weather here in Texas, and if someone forced me to choose, I think fall would be my favorite season. It means all the holidays are coming and I can consume all the hot drinks. We made our annual pilgrimage to our state …
I don’t have a subscription for OwlCrate, but I like to keep an eye out for special boxes to pick up or specific bookish items in their shop. They do a great job filling their boxes with bookish items to match their books. I love that Owlcrate always partners with Maggie Stiefvater for a special …

Hello Readers! I’ve just returned from my first trip to Moab, Utah. If you’ve never been, I highly recommend it. It’s home to several state and national parks. My husband went to Moab to mountain bike with a group of friends, so we tagged along and turned it into a vacation. However, that didn’t leave …
