Book Review: The Foxglove King by Hannah Whitten
So many of my reads lately have been because I grabbed something off of a clearance rack, and The Foxglove King was one of those picks. The premise of a necromancy based magic system sounded super interesting to me and I’m so glad I picked it up, because I ended up absolutely loving it.

December 2025 Reading Wrap-Up: Books Read, TBR lists, What I’m Loving
I considered whether to even write a December wrap-up given that I’ve already posted my Best Books Read in 2025 list, but since December was such an epic month I figured why not? The holidays are easily my favourite time of year. I love all the Christmas lights, the family traditions, the excuses to see…

2026 Bookish Goals and Intentions
Happy new year! As I mentioned in my Best Books Read in 2025 post, last year was fairly transformative for me. I had to refocus a lot of my attention and priorities as my life evolved, and with that came some major shifts in my reading habits. For the most part, I slowed way down…

November 2025 Reading Wrap-Up: Books Read, TBR Lists, and What I’m Loving
It’s hard to believe that we’re already charging towards 2026, but here we are, with only one month to spare before new year’s.

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…

Book Review: One Dark Window by Rachel Gillig
One Dark Window is one of those rare page-turners that gets more addictive the deeper you dive into it. It had a thoroughly enjoyable magic system that felt unique and sometimes surprising, and I loved the almost-dual perspective of seeing everything through Elspeth’s eyes, with the monster lurking just behind the scenes.

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.

Book Review: A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers
I’d seen exclusively good things about A Psalm for the Wild Built so when I saw it at my library, I grabbed it without knowing much about it and wow, this book was like a warm hug in literary form. I loved how optimistic it was, how introspective, and ultimately, how heart-warming it felt. It…

Book Review: A Fate Inked in Blook by Danielle L. Jensen
I’ve been feeling a little burned out on romantasy lately. I’ve read a lot of good stories over the past few years, but for whatever reason, the last few fantasy’s featuring a heavy romance component that I’ve picked up have left me feeling very lukewarm, to the degree that I’d begun to wonder if the…

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.
