Bookish (And Not So Bookish) Thoughts #3
“I had always had mixed feelings about Narnia, mostly because of the heavy-handed lion-Jesus allegory. I suddenly had very strong feelings that C. S. Lewis had not spent nearly enough time on the sudden realization, when moving between worlds, that nothing could be taken for granted. Maybe fog hung around all day here, even when the sky was bright. Maybe there was no night, or maybe this was what night looked like. Maybe gravity stopped working here on Tuesdays.” The Hollow Ones – T. Kingfisher Starting off the year right, with a quote from my current read! If you haven’t…

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? (12/28/20)
Good morning friends! We have made it to the last Monday of the year. How are we feeling? If you’re like me, you might feel torn between having hope and worrying that we’re in for a lot more of the same. But the good thing is that we’ve made it this far! We’ve survived. That is something to celebrate. Anyway, enough rambling from me. Let’s get back to bookish things. I think I’ve been doing pretty well at posting in here semi-regularly, and plan to push that into the new year! I enjoy this a lot! Read Last Week: I…

F Is For Friday! Or, the new year starts when?
Friends, it has been a week. Even with Monday off, this week felt like it was endless. I think it's just because of everything *gestures wildly* going on. In the world, and in my head. I felt the need to do something fun, so bring on a Friday meme! This is my first time participating in "F Is For Friday" and I'm so very ready!

Bookish (And Not So Bookish) Thoughts #2
“Distance between true friends doesn’t matter when their friendship lives in their hearts” The Blackbird Girls – Anne Blankman I had forgotten that I planned a series of these posts, where I shared a recent quote that applied to that week and then just rambled. It was kind of fun to go back to my last one (the only one so far) and see how I felt at that point. Spoiler alert: it’s not far off from how I’ve been feeling lately. The biggest difference is that 2020 has given me the time and space to learn how to cope…

Can’t Wait Wednesday: Hall of Smoke by H.M. Long

Ah, this feels good. 2020 has been a really weird year, and it feels good to be excited about new books again! Anyway, I ramble.

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? (11/30/20)
Good morning friends! It’s another Monday and, once again, it feels like all the time and no time at all passed. Can you believe Christmas is less than a month away? I still can’t. It’s crazy. Still, it is indeed Monday and that means it is once again time to share my reading! Read Last Week: I think you all know that I’ve been reading really slowly, so this is the only book that I finished last week. Trust me when I say that it was 100% worth the time though, because I loved it! Leah Johnson has crafted a…

Can’t Wait Wednesday (7/22/20)
It has been quite a while since I’ve done one of these posts! I’ve been slowly going back to reading more regularly, but the weather (and honestly my exhaustion of being inside) has been calling me outdoors more and more often. This is why I end up forgetting to post in here, or write reviews. I’ve decided the best thing to do is just set a few hours aside each week to poke around in here and draft some posts for future use. This is the first of those! Anyway the point of this meme is to share books that…
