Which is especially true when you ride the train back and forth to work, let me tell you. This morning was pretty cool though, because I actually got the chance to have a conversation with a fellow biliophile! You know when you see people sitting around, reading a book that you love, and you totally want to yell “WHAT PART ARE YOU ON?” at them, and fangirl endlessly? This morning, that actually happened to me! I was re-reading Miss Mayhem on the train, and totally falling in love all over again with Harper, when the girl who was sitting behind me…

So, for anyone who didn’t know (and seriously… have you been living under a rock?) the 2nd season of Daredevil is on Netflix! If you’ve watched the 1st season, you know all the reasons why this is so exciting. If you haven’t, well you definitely have some catching up to do. There’s a lot to love about Matt Murdock. Ever since I fell in love with his television version, I’ve gone out to do some research (read as: devouring comics) on his comic version. Let me tell you, no matter who draws or writes Matt, there’s so much about him…

HAPPY PI DAY! Ah, Pi day. You beautiful 3.14 day, you. I love you forever for giving me an excuse to eat ALL  THE PIE. Which, of course, I did. Savory pies make an excellent lunch. Although, I still have yet to eat a sweet pie. So, we must remedy that. You know who loves pie more than I do though? (And, who just so happens to be dreamy beyond belief?) DEAN WINCHESTER. Anyway, I just wanted to pop in, give you some Dean and vanish! Moving is going great, but it’s eating up time and I haven’t been reading…

Okay, so I don’t actually have a castle. That’d be way too much cleaning, and much too drafty for my liking. I’d have to invite all of you to come and stay too, because I hate empty space. Yeah, no castles for this girl. However my husband and I are calling this “The Year We Found Our Castle”, because our last name is Nottingham, and we’ve found a home. Get it? Yeah, it’s cheesy. I’m owning it! So yes! We’ve found a home. A real, actual house to call our very own. As renters for the last 9 years, we’ve…

Isn’t this picture pretty? A shoutout to Pexels, which has some of the best free stock photos that I’ve seen. Some people are just expert photographers. Anyway, today I’m here to talk about the DREADED TBR. You know the one. You read a book, you add three books. You read ten books during a read-a-thon, and then promptly add fifteen more because all of the books everyone else read just look so amazing that you can’t resist. I think every bookworm has one of these, and I’m here to tell you one thing: Don’t feel bad about it. Seriously, don’t. Somewhere…

Last year I began my obsession with books that held both pictures, and words.  Yes friends, I toed the comic and graphic novel waters. I inched my way in, starting with things that were popular and well-received, then slowly treading into deeper water. What I found astounded me. Suddenly, there was a whole new world of media to appreciate. I had my novels, I had my trades and my floppies, and life was good. Then, guilt set in. To those of you who set reading goals on Goodreads, or BookLikes, or any of the various places us bookworms inhabit, you’ll…

So as I review what I’ve done in 2016 so far, one thing is painfully obvious: I haven’t found my groove yet. 2015 was a year of changes. My whole life was upset, rearranged, and reassembled. At the end of the day, it all turned out for the best. I’m as blessed as I’ve ever been and so darn happy. The downside is that I still haven’t found a new schedule to match this new reassembled life. My cooking has suffered, my exercise, and even my reading. It’s been a jarring situation. So in 2016 I’m hoping to change that.…

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Greetings awesome readers! It’s been a whirlwind of a week, but there was much joy to be had. Spending time with family, eating superbly delicious food, and relaxing instead of being at work. What more can a girl ask for? The holiday season is definitely my favorite time of the year, but above all else it’s Christmas that makes me smile the most. There’s something about the holiday. All the red, gold and white. The love that is spread. It’s almost like people are a little nicer to one another for a…

In truth, my coffee is hardly ever this fancy. Unless I feel like dropping the money on the posh coffee place that’s downstairs at my work. I sure do love this picture though. It whispers “WARMTH” to me, and at this time of year that’s what I love. Thanks for sticking with me, my awesome blog readers, through this weird transition month. If you noticed, I’ve posted a lot more. It feels good. I’ll admit it. The connection that I used to have with this bookish space is slowly coming back, and I’m thrilled! Last year was a rough one.…
