Oh yeah. Let's kick this year off right. I managed to finish up the year of 2019 with one of, if not the highest, reading years yet. I read a bunch of fantastic books, finished a couple of series, and was bound and determined to kick off 2020 and turn it into the most fantastic... Continue Reading →
Well. Here we are. I think 2019 may have been one of my most successful reading years over all. I know I read a great volume of books this past year (150 in total) but I know I read quite a lot of quality books. So many that I loved incredibly and influenced my life... Continue Reading →
Now that I'm back in the swing of things with updating this blog (please oh please don't fuck off again brain we can do this), I wanted to make sure that I didn't falter on the reading side of the things. I made a concerted effort this month to keep moving, keep reading, and I... Continue Reading →
We've now reached the apex of our catch-up process! It has been utterly fascinating (for me, I won't speak for all y'all) to break down the trends of what I've read each month. It's fun to see what carts I was cataloging at the time - if I ever have a streak of graphic novels,... Continue Reading →
As the waning days of summer begin to pass, September came in with a trip to visit my grandma and Auntie Linda in Virginia. And it was there, that the summer/fall of Gamache began! I had read the very first Gamache mystery back in 2018, as part of last year's staff reading challenge - a... Continue Reading →
We wrap up the hottest months of the year with another double-digit book month! Seriously, the weather was so sticky and gross and humid up by me that I ended up barely spending any time outside doing fun outdoor activities because I ended up being soaked in sweat and half dead by the end that...

It wasn't until I was starting to compile these monthly lists that I truly realized how much I read this summer. Because, hot damn July, I read a book every two days on average. Which is BANANAS. I'm not even sure how I managed it. Because while there are a bunch of great graphic novels... Continue Reading →
One of the casualties of my disappearing act from the blog are all of the quick review posts that I semi-started and never finished. Since it's been so long since I read those books and my thoughts would be spotty at best, we're going to do a nice little bullet list round-up of the books... Continue Reading →
This slow train is gonna just keep chug-chug-chugging down the track. Something about the month of April has completely removed my ability to read quickly or in abundance. I can actively feel myself struggling to pick up a book - it might be due to the weird weather fluctuations we've had recently, including a new...

Another slow week, this time hampered by an extra-long work week and the return of Game of Thrones, of which I ended up watching a bunch of episodes I had already seen since my brother and sister are getting caught up. I can't believe there are only a couple of Thrones episodes left y'all -... Continue Reading →
