October 2025 Reading Wrap-Up: Books Read, TBR Lists, What I’m Loving Right Now
I’m writing this update from the depths of one of the worst colds that I’ve had in years. Everyone warned us that sending your kid to daycare for the first time would mean an endless round of illness but wow, you really can’t grasp what that’s like until you’re in it. I haven’t been healthy…

September 2025 Reading Wrap-Up: Books Read, TBR List, and What I’m Loving Right Now
At the risk of saying this for probably the eleventh month in a row, I genuinely can’t believe how quickly time is moving. September feels like a fever dream that I’m not certain even happened which makes for some unique challenges when it comes to reflection.

August 2025 Reading Wrap-Up: Books Read, TBR lists, and What I’m Loving Right Now
What an unbelievably sweet summer we had here on the east coast. I’m always tempted to note how fast it felt like the time passed in retrospect, but this month, I feel like we actually got to savour it a little more than usual.

June and July 2025 Reading Wrap-Up: Books Read, TBR Lists, and What I’m Loving
It feels like I blinked and suddenly, I hadn’t written a blog post in months. I knew that returning to work after parental leave would be a significant shift, particularly as we adjusted as a family to this new normal, but I (very naively) thought it would have little impact on my reading life. Wow,…

April 2025 Reading Wrap-Up: Books Read, TBR Lists, and What I’m Loving
For the first time since I started my maternity leave, it feels like the days are flying by. While collectively it feels like time has moved quickly when I consider I now have a 7-month-old baby, up until recently, each day in and of itself felt extremely long. Sometime around when baby girl began to…

February 2025 Reading Wrap-Up: Books Read, TBR Lists, and What I’m Loving
If January was a thousand years long, February lasted a weekend. It seems like just yesterday I sat down to wrap up everything I’d read in January, and now here I am again. While some of February felt like Groundhog Day, towards the end, we finally began to see a light at the end of…

January 2025 Reading Wrap-Up: Books Read, TBR lists, and What I’m Loving Right Now
January felt like it lasted for five full years, but we’re finally through it now and in retrospect, it was a great month for reading. My little one is now into a more routine nap schedule and during these pauses (of which most are still on me), I’ve been propping up a book to read…

August Wrap-Up: Books Read, TBR Lists, and A New Era
I genuinely can’t believe it’s September, and at the same time, I eagerly awaited being able to say that all month. We’re finally within sight of welcoming baby girl into the world. I feel like my entire life, including every spare bit of brainpower I have, has been dedicated to preparing, excitement, and anxiety as…

July 2024 Wrap-Up: Books Read, TBR Lists, and What I’m Loving Right Now
I’m typically a summer person. I cling to how wonderful it will feel to have the sun on my skin again when we’re up to our necks in snow, and the second I start to see green grass again in the spring, I can feel my spirits lift.

June 2024 Reading Wrap-Up: Books Read, TBR lists, and What I’m Loving
Another month has come and gone and I’m thinking the theme of 2024 is going to end up being “where did the time go?!” I feel like we’re flying through the summer already, and with so much coming in the fall, I’m doing my best to savour it even while it races relentlessly past me.
