I thought I'd make a post sharing some of the things I've seen/read/watched on the web recently. This might be something I turn into a series of posts or it could be just a one-off sort of thing. That being said, some of this stuff I've really enjoyed and I think it's fair to share... Continue Reading →
July Wrap-Up Pt. 1
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 →
Thoughts : The Only Plane in the Sky by Garrett M. Gaff
The Only Plane in the Sky : An Oral History of 9/11 by Garret M. Graff Source : Library BookTL:DR : Hits hard, but is very important Thoughts: Even know, weeks later, this book is lingering on my mind. This is one of those few really heavy and hard books that I think everyone should... Continue Reading →
Thoughts: A Heart of Blood and Ashes by Milla Vane
So. This is not a book for everyone. Just going to open this post off with that. This is simultaneously a (at times) deeply drawn fantasy novel and a very graphic romance novel. Think Conan the Barbarian meets romance, in a setting with dinosaurs and more magic. And there were zombies at one point. It... Continue Reading →
April Wrap-Up Part 2
  The second half of April was just slow. I read quite a few graphic novels but the novel reading slowed down. For a few weeks in there I didn’t have a dedicated eReader, which honestly bummed me out (till my hubby treated me to a new one) and I just didn’t have a lot of... Continue Reading →
April Wrap-up Part 1
  April has not been a very successful month (for me) as far as reading goes. There is unfortunately a lot going on right now and I ran into a couple of road blocks along the way that really threw me off. But this sort of thing happens, and we just keep moving.   So... Continue Reading →
Thoughts: Daisy Jones and The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid
We're swerving way out of my usual range with this one. You know those books you immediately think 'That's not for me' but every one goes on and on? Eventually you break and try it? That was this one for me and boy howdy did I have a strong reaction. Daisy Jones and the Six... 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. I swear those first two weeks of her being home were the hardest thing I've ever done (including childbirth), but we're starting to... Continue Reading →
