Book Review: Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver
"Anyone will tell you the born of this world are marked from the get-out, win or lose." Set in the mountains of southern Appalachia, this is the story of a boy born to a teenaged single mother in a single-wide trailer, with no assets beyond his dead father's good looks and copper-colored hair, a caustic wit, and a fierce talent for survival. In a plot that never pauses for breath, relayed in his own unsparing voice, he braves the modern perils of foster care, child labor, derelict schools, athletic success, addiction, disastrous loves, and crushing losses. Through all of it,…

Those Cozy Reading Vibes
Well, the weather has not been kind enough to make up its mind. We’re still alternating between wild 90 degree days, and beautiful 75 degree days. Some days I can pop all the windows open and enjoy the gorgeous bird sounds. Some days I have all of our blackout curtains closed and the A/C on full blast. Hahahaha. *sobs* But this is normal. I’m actually really anticipating Halloween because that’s when the temperatures finally start to plummet for real. Let’s GO. I haven’t let that mess up my cozy reading vibes though. I’ve been having a great time picking up…

Fall Feelings Forever
Am I the only one who is desperately wishing for cooler weather? We had a beautiful cooldown because of hurricane weather and I absolutely adored it. Then this weekend shot right back up into the high 90’s and I am just slowly wilting. I need Fall. I need warm sweaters, hot drinks and fuzzy blankets. Bring on the drizzle and the clouds! Soup season? Yes, please. My fall feelings are in full swing. On a happy note, I’ve been picking up on the reading train. I’m up to 27 books from the last time that I checked in. I’ve found…

Summer Vibes
Hello again lovelies! Yes, yes I know. I’ve been gone for ages. Despite my best efforts the burnout was real. To prove this point, I quite literally have only finished 21 books so far this year. To some people that may be a lot. Keep in mind though that I used to read 200+ a year. So… yeah. I’ve been slowly trimming off things that no longer suit me in an effort to get my motivation back. As you might have noticed, I cut my bookstagram loose. I also haven’t been on Twitter as much. (Especially with all the website…
