Hello Readers! We’ve been enjoying some rainy weather here in Texas after all that summer heat. But while it may look cooler outside thanks to the clouds, it’s been terribly humid, which makes it feel hot anyway. At least we can pretend it’s cool when we’re indoors. π I had my best reading month so …

July 2022 Book Haul
Hello Readers! We were hoping July would take the heat with it when it left, but we’re supposed to reach a sweltering 104 today and tomorrow here in Texas. I hope you’re cool and well wherever you’re reading this from! I’m a few days late with my July haul because I’m still playing catch-up on …
My Summer 2022 Book HookUp Unboxing
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 …
June 2022 Book Haul
Hello Readers! I hope you’re enjoying your weekend, finding time to relax and enjoy some reading, as well. I’m happy to say my haul was under control this month.

May 2022 Book Haul

April 2022 Monthly Wrap-Up & Book Haul

March 2022 Book Haul
Hello Readers! Once again I’m scrambling to catch up on posts and blog hops. My middle child has moved to her first apartment (cue all the mixed emotions), and I’ve been busy helping her get ready—shopping, packing, moving, and then cleaning the room she left behind. π It never fails that these big life events …
My Spring 2022 Book HookUp Unboxing

February 2022 Monthly Wrap-Up & Book Haul
Hello Readers! I spent the last few days of the month scrambling to finish up two books for review, so my end of the month posts are running a bit behind. Which is why I’m combining my Wrap-Up and Haul again. I apologize for the lengthy post. π Considering I spent most of the month …
January 2022 Monthly Wrap-Up & Book Haul
Hello Readers! I haven’t been able to combine my wrap-up and haul since May of last year, but I finally read more than I added to my shelves. π I don’t know if it was just me, but it felt like January had a few extra weeks. But I wasn’t complaining. Due to the resurgence …
