Hello Readers! I had a great reading month in May with the release of two of my most anticipated reads for the year (which also added to my haul), and as I try to stay ahead on my ARCs. And if you forced me to choose a favorite, I would struggle with making a choice. …
Hello Readers! I’m a few days late on my wrap-up and haul post for April. We were able to get out of town for a few days with my in-laws now that we’re all fully vaccinated. We rented a house near the beach in Galveston and enjoyed being all together again. Even though the water …
Hello Readers! It’s been a long time since I’ve been a little sad to see a month end, but I had a great March. I read more than normal thanks to a readathon (My March Wrap-Up) and I added many more books to my digital and physical shelves. I don’t feel too bad about the …
Hello Readers! February was a whirlwind of a month for me. From an epic snowstorm, to a blog crisis, to Valentine’s and my birthday. I did manage to read 8 books (and a short story), including my first five-star read of the year! Looking back at My February TBR, I ended up reading all of …

We’d visited New York City for the first time the previous 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 a …
Hello Readers! We made it through November!! And what a month it has been. Highs and lows that pretty much sum up the whole year. But I’m not going to talk about anything going on outside of books, today. There’s too much. I participated in NaNoWriMo for my seventh year (!!), I reached (and passed) …
Hello Readers! Happy Halloween to those who celebrate! I can’t believe it’s the end of October, and we’re finally closing in on the last few days before our election here in the U.S. We didn’t know if this day would ever come. 😉 If you look back at My October TBR, you’ll see that I …
Last Christmas, my husband gifted me a subscription to The Strand’s The Book HookUp. We had visited New York City for the first time the previous Christmas, 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 a huge …
