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…

My New Normal: the Balancing Act Between Parenting and Everything Else
I’m back! After an accidental 3-month hiatus, I’m finally feeling myself enough to get back to reading and blogging. What caused this unintended break?

January 2024 Wrap-Up: Books Read, TBR Lists, and What I’m Loving Right Now
I had big plans for January. Over the holidays, I had three full weeks off and I spent a lot of it getting organized and preparing for a hyper-productive, focused 2024. I was excited and motivated and ready to go. Then my health took a deep dive and everything went up in smoke.

Reflections on one year of book blogging
2023 is now finished and wow, what a year it was. I’ve had ups and downs, new jobs, new friends, international and local travel, anniversary celebrations, milestone birthdays, time spent with family, time spent grieving, and so much more, but easily one of the most consistent highlights for me has been diving head-first into this…

Book Review: The City of Stardust by Georgia Summers
When I posted that I’d received a complimentary ARC for The City of Stardust by Georgia Summers on my bookstagram, I had several people message me and tell me that the synopsis sounded super intriguing.

Book Review: Graceling by Kristin Cashore
Graceling has been on my TBR for years, so when I had a travel-heavy week coming and noticed it was available through my library app on audio, I decided it was time to pick it up. I can see why this is a fantasy classic. It had an epic quest, involved some really interesting magic…
