This is ridiculous, I'm going to open with that. I hate TBRs and I'm terrible at them. Yet I want to try. I want to 'take' the NEWTS later this year and I want to... pass? and have a magical career - at least in my head. I think quarantine has broken me. I'm not... Continue Reading →
Book Access When Stuck at Home
So many of us are trapped indoors per safety regulations - please stay inside, guys don’t be dumb. And even if you’re getting out because of work or care obligations your library might be closed. So here is how I wanted to talk about accessing books while at home. I’d like to add this works... Continue Reading →
Self-Isolation Recommendations: Just a little light reading
So it’s a bad time in the world, we can all agree on that. So I thought I’d make two posts - one talks about how to get easier access to books while trapped inside and one about some easy and light reads to get into that will help distract from the mess of the... Continue Reading →
February Wrap-up Pt 1
The first full month with my daughter was a learning experience. We had to find our new normal - for the time being, till I return to work - and heal up.

Series Thoughts: Fruits Basket
Everyone should be impressed - I have managed to finish a series. This is unusual for me, especially during such a stressful time as the past 4 months have been. I got lucky and was able to get most of the series through my library and the last 5 volumes my friend let me borrow... Continue Reading →
February Haul/Unhaul
This has been a slow month. I had a baby on the 27th of January so I haven't been out of the house much or done much shopping. I've also read a lot of things on Kindle as opposed to any of my physical books so that's limited my intake as well. But let's see... Continue Reading →
Thoughts: Exit Strategy by Martha Wells
I'm terrible at keeping up with series. Unless they're a comic series where it's a fast read you can bet I hardly ever do finish it. I am more than happy to admit that's because I don't want to be disappointed by follow up books. If I enjoy a story I don't want to read... Continue Reading →
Sample Saturday: February
It is Sample Saturday again, where I reading 6 different samples to see if I want to skip them, buy them, or check them out of the library. This time we have some climate sci-fi, some humorous sci-fi, and several different flavors of fantasy to try on! I did these in sets of three this... Continue Reading →
