It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? (6/18/18)
Happy Monday, friends! I’m not going to write a long intro today, because I’m tired and not feeling super inspired. I did want to share my reading progress with you though, so… On to the books! It’s been a great run of reads lately. Like, insanely good, to be honest. I haven’t disliked a single thing I’ve powered through. My most recent three reads all garnered at least 4 stars, with Kiss the Ground coming in at a 5 star rating because of how fascinating it was! If you’re at all interested in learning about our agricultural system, I highly recommend…

Small Business Spotlight: Bookish Apparel
Happy Friday, my bookish friends! I’m here today to give you some fabulous Friday feelings, with another Small Business Spotlight. In case this is the first one that you’ve seen, this is a post where I share with you all of the amazing bookish finds I’ve stumbled across on the web. You can find the rest of them right up there (*points to the nav bar*) under “Features”. This week’s theme is APPAREL, because what’s better than wearing your love for reading on your sleeve? ** note that all photos are the property of the store owners ** ========================================================= Jane…

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? (5/7/18)
Happy Monday, y’all! Yes, I actually mean that. Monday it may be, but I’m feeling pretty optimistic about it. As you can see, things have settled into a nice rhythm here at HDB, and that in itself means that things are in a good place. Huzzah! Likewise, my reading has been doing so much better lately as well! I’ve been back into the swing of things, and my review roadblock has vanished. I’ve just kind of learned to let my brain do its thing. If it says that I need to take a break, I do. It makes things go…

Waiting on Wednesday (4/25/18)
You’ve made it to Wednesday, bookish friends! Congratulations! I’m slogging through this day. That’s pretty much the only way to describe how I feel. If someone were to point me in the direction of a cup a tea and a couch, I’d fall straight asleep. Hahaha. The good part is that it’s at least the middle of the week, so we’re in the downhill swing to the weekend! Huzzah! Now, on to my pick for this Wednesday! I’m eagerly waiting on Salt by Hannah Moskowitz. Even though their parents disappeared during a hunt three months ago, seventeen-year-old Indi and his siblings,…

Waiting on Wednesday: Emergency Contact by Mary H.K. Choi + A Giveaway!
Hey friends! It’s been a long time since I posted one of these, I know. I strayed away from too many weekly memes for a while, but now I’m kind of heading back towards them because I’ve just been too busy to write whole posts all the time. I’m in desperate need of a quiet weekend where I can draft a bunch of things to post at random times again :). My cache has been depleted. Anyway, let’s talk books! I’m so excited for Emergency Contact by Mary H.K. Choi, and the best part is that I actually was lucky enough…

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? (3/5/18)
Good morning lovely people! Here’s your weekly reminder to kick Monday in the aft end, because it’s only a day and it doesn’t have any power over you ;). Here’ s a further reminder that, if things get too much, escaping into a book is always an option. Isn’t that such a happy thought? My weekend was pretty uneventful. Some time with friends, some books being read, and a lot of cross stitching! I like those kinds of weekends. So worth it. Now that I’ve rambled at you, on to the books! On the finished list is The Sweetness at…

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? (2/20/18)
Good morning, guys and gals! Yes, I know that this will post on Tuesday. I’m writing it on a Monday though, so I’m saying it counts ;). Here’s hoping that your long weekend, if you had one, was filled with good reads and lots of quiet time. I actually had a fair bit of that, and it was a nice time to recharge. Work, and life in general, have been wearing on me the last two weeks. So it was nice to have some time to step back, be calm, and just reset. Any time you see me vanish from…

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? (1/22/18)
I’m typing this up on a Sunday night, cuddled under a blanket, and trying to pretend that the week ahead is not actually coming at me like a freight train. I really love just having time to rest, blog and read. Why can’t weekends be longer? Ack. Okay, anyway, I’ll stop complaining. Let’s talk books instead! Here’s where I stand, with only a week left in this month! Picking off books that have been on my TBR WAY too long has been my goal so far this month. I managed to get through My Best Friend’s Exorcism as a buddy read.…

Small Business Spotlight: Bookish Pins!
Hey guys and dolls, you’ve made it Friday! Congratulations! I thought I’d give you a reward, by doing a special Small Business Spotlight that’s going to make you want to pull out your wallet and shop. Were you paid today? Excellent… EXCELLENT. Let me tempt you with some awesome bookish pins! Now, before I start, you should know that I am an avid collector of pins. Which means, of course, that a lot of these are either already in my collection or on my wishlist. I can vouch for these amazing stores, and hope you find something that you love!…

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? (1/8/18)
The first one of these in January, and I’m so pleased with how strong I’ve started out this year! Let me tell you, I was in a hardcore slump the majority of last year. I’d sway in and out, but my reading was nowhere near where it normally is. This year I’m feeling good. I’m taking it slow, and reading what I want, and it’s going well. Here’s my first status update of the year! Can you believe I’ve already powered through 3 books this year? I’m even proud of myself. I picked up The Frog Princess as a light, fun…
