A Reading Journal for a New Mom
So it's been a slow month. I'm trying to keep up and do a little bit of reading here and there as I can. I do have a few things to talk about though, and a few little digital purchases to list! So a few things I've picked up on sale, received one as a... Continue Reading →
Pilgrimage of Swords and The Kraken's Tooth by Anthony Ryan Source : Pilgrimage of Swords - originally a library read, purchased for rereading purposes The Kraken's Tooth - Provided by the Publisher, thank you!TL;DR: Highly recommended classic quest style fantasy, with a depth and twists you don't see coming. Last year when Pilgrimage of Swords... Continue Reading →
Tendonitis be damned I managed to get some reading done in the last half of the month. Let me tell you, it's not easy holding open a book when moving your thumb at all causes shooting pain. Books I've read that I'll be posting full Thoughts/Post on: Upright Women Wanted by Sarah GaileyI will cover... Continue Reading →
September felt like it last forever. I started off really badly, I'm going to be honest and it spurred me on to take up my No More Library rule for the end of the year. I also developed tendonitis in my right wrist in the last half that I still need to get addressed, so... Continue Reading →
Another installment! Look at me go! Just a mix this time, articles, books, and research ideas. An article I really found interesting over on Book Riot talked about how the New Hunger Games Novel helped the author realize how she's almost aged out of some of YA tropes - something I intensely agree and feel....

I knew next to nothing about Buddhism. Pretty much the base level of pop-culture references plus a few fly-away facts I'd picked up while studying Japanese in college. One afternoon while picking up my holds I broke my own library rules and browsed the new non-fiction releases shelf and grabbed this just for fun. Frankly,... Continue Reading →
A bit of a movement in independent publishing has attempted to bring different, diverse voices to fiction. It's there in traditional publishing, to mixed success, but it's gone wild in the indie world from what I have seen. This is a good example of that, to mixed success. The Dragon of Ynys by Minerva Cerridwen... Continue Reading →
The second half of August was far more successful than the first half! I read a bit of everything here. Some YA, Fantasy/SF, romance, non-fiction, and a classic novel. A Phoenix First Must Burn edited by Patrice Caldwell started off the second portion of the month in a very middle of the road style. I... Continue Reading →
This shouldn't be too long, even in two parts as I didn't have a TON to say about the books I read in August, which happens sometimes! The first part of August was definitely more on the 'meh' side of things unfortunately. The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang was good. I would say it's probably... Continue Reading →
I made an effort this month to fit in a lot of books I've been putting off. Partially to continue to educate myself on difficult topics and partially because I after the lackluster month of June I knew I wanted some things to make me think and feel. I really read some great books because... Continue Reading →
