Groundhog Days
Does anyone have a firm grasp on what day it is anymore? I laughed out loud when I saw this The Awkward Yeti comic because this is exactly how I feel right now. If it weren’t for the fact that I have school to focus on, and doctor’s appointments to keep to, I’m pretty sure I’d be lost. As it stands, I thought yesterday was Sunday for a full half of a day. This new normal is taking some getting used to, even though I’d settled into an okay groove. In case you missed it, I actually posted a review…

Hopping on by.
How are we all holding up friends? I’ll be honest, I’ve reached the point where I keep forgetting what day of the week it is. My only marker is that I have online class once a week, and so that’s how I know that it’s Wednesday. Hahaha. I don’t know what I’m going to do when it changes days. Staying at home seems like such a simple task, but my brain is reaching that marker where it actually misses challenges. So I think it might be time to find a new hobby again. It’s what I do when I’m in…

April Fools?
Yeah, my house isn’t this nice either. Don’t worry. Hahaha. I think while we’re all snug at home our houses may look a little more what I like to call “lived in”. A puzzle here, a coffee mug there, that book you were reading but abandoned (with the page saved just in case) sitting on the couch arm. Yup, cozy. Lived in. Perfectly you. I can’t be the only one out there who feels like these last few weeks have a been a blur. March has felt like a month that extended well beyond its intended 31 days, and yet…

Zen Wishes
Currently very much wishing that I was somewhere as zen as this. I’ve been slowly working my way back into reading. I’m up to about 1 to 2 chapters a night! That’s a big deal, trust me. I’ve also been trying to hone my reviewing skills again. I finished reading a book written by one of my amazing friends, and I want to review it so badly. Every time I sit down and try though, my brain gets all jumbled up. I used to be able to type up a review in a matter of minutes, flawlessly describing every little…

Book Review: The Infinite Noise (The Bright Sessions #1) by Lauren Shippen
Lauren Shippen's The Infinite Noise is a stunning, original debut novel based on her wildly popular and award-winning podcast The Bright Sessions. Caleb Michaels is a sixteen-year-old champion running back. Other than that his life is pretty normal. But when Caleb starts experiencing mood swings that are out of the ordinary for even a teenager, his life moves beyond “typical.” Caleb is an Atypical, an individual with enhanced abilities. Which sounds pretty cool except Caleb's ability is extreme empathy—he feels the emotions of everyone around him. Being an empath in high school would be hard enough, but Caleb's life becomes…

Sneaking Back In
I know, I know. I’ve been gone forever. But I think I’m ready to come back, albeit it a little bit at a time. I have a review in draft right now, I’ve actually finished another book this month, AND I have the #bookstagram bug again. So, yeah. I think my spark is making its way back into my heart. I still have school, and the homework that comes along with it, but I’m going to try my best to at least get some rambling content and a few reviews a month up here. Since my awesome co-blogger has been…

Happy New Year!
Happy New Year friends! I hope that the end of 2019 treated you decently, and that you’re coming into the new year with a clear head and an open heart! I’m not setting any resolutions for myself. I don’t really do that anymore. In fact, in 2020 I’m basically focusing on just being kind to myself and letting myself continue to grow. I know I disappeared from here last year, and that our blog has slowed down a lot, but I was just listening to what I needed at the time. I can’t promise I’ll be back full force this…

Checking In
Hi friends! Did you miss me? I know I’ve been MIA, and honestly that’s completely on purpose. I had to give in to the fact that Grad school was a lot more than I expected and that, on top of work and being a normal human, it was too much. I needed a break and, unfortunately, this is what had to go. I’ll confess to you: I haven’t read a book in over 2 months. Yup. I’ve been immersed in music, listening to podcasts, and watching entirely too many hours of YouTube videos. Essentially, I’ve been trying to give my…
