It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? (2/17/19)
Sorry for the radio silence last week, y’all! I was sick on Monday, and then the work week ended up being a lot busier than I expected. It’s crazy how my anxiety can go from being 100% manageable, to exhausting, in no time flat. This last week was quite the balancing act, but I did! And I’m proud of myself. Which is why my reading stalled out a bit, but picked up again yesterday. Here’s what it looks like now! For Romance Bingo I decided to re-read The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight, and it was a great…

Good morning ladies and gents! As you can see, I’m getting in the groove of posting more often, and allowing myself more fun posts on here.

Books I Meant To Read In 2018 But Didn’t Get To Ah, this list is so long. Here’s the top ten, as far as I can remember them right now! 1.

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? (1/14/19)
Oh, wow. How the heck have 13 days of the year already flown by? It feels like the first two weeks of January barely count at all, because everyone is trying to get back from vacation, get back to real life, and settle back into the work they left behind. It’s been a weird transition for me, because I feel like a new person this year. I’ve been calmly keeping up with my goals, and reading like a mad woman. I think books are my definite solace this year, and it helps that I’m taking breaks when I need it.…

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? (11/25/18)
Apologies for the radio silence all. It’s been a rough last two weeks, and I’ve been trying to dig myself out of a funk that was so deep that I’ve actually barely been reading at all. I love the holidays, I really do. Family, friends, and food. All good things. However they also bring with them memories of loss, and this year we’ve added another loss to that list. It’s hard to separate the feelings I have right now, but I’ve been doing the best I can to keep on keeping on. So, I took a blogging break to let…

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? (10/22/18)
Good morning, and happy Monday reader friends! I’ve been chugging along with my reading lately and am, in fact, a whole book ahead of schedule to hit my 120 books this year goal :). The best part is that it hasn’t been a chore. I’ve kind of let myself sink into whatever I feel like reading, and not worry too much about finishing quickly. Hilariously, that’s been making me read faster. What are you going to do? Here’s what my reading looks like lately. I finished up two more Halloween Bingo books. Both Experimental Film by Gemma Files and The Girl…

Book Blogger Hop: Halloween Edition!
Book Blogger Hop: Halloween Edition! Happy Friday friends! It’s been a really long time since I’ve participated in one of these hops, mainly because we were posting infrequently for a while. I missed them! Getting to answer fun questions, visiting other people on their blogs, it’s a great way to network! I actually miss being up on what other book bloggers are doing, and so it’s one of my goals for the rest of this year and all of next year to start getting connected again. Let’s start things out with this book blog hop, shall we? ———————————————————————————– This week’s…

Waiting on Wednesday 9/26/18
Okay, this is a VERY SPECIAL WoW post, because the release date of this book is so darn close! I’ve been chomping at the bit for The Lady’s Guide to Petticoats and Piracy since I finished Mackenzi Lee’s first book. Oh, goodness. I’m in love with Percy and I don’t care who knows it! I can’t wait to see what kind of mischief Felicity gets up to in her own story though. I CAN’T WAIT! Felicity Montague is through with pretending she prefers society parties to books about bone setting—or that she’s not smarter than most people she knows, or that…
