A Reading Journal for a New Mom
June was a small reading month for me. I didn't read a whole lot, but I had a few good things to read. Unfortunately I also had more than I normally have that was either a complete miss or a very meh read. I don't know if there was anything I read that I'd like... Continue Reading →
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 →
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 →
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 →
My reading is restricted these days almost exclusively to my Kindle. So I'm not being too picky when it comes to things that look interesting - and are on sale.

This has been on my TBR for ages. I love Jane Austen - no surprise there, I think a great deal of bookish readers my age do, and I love magic so combine those two flavors and you have a winner. I unfortunately never managed to get my hands on a copy so while feeding... Continue Reading →
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 →
Giant Days is by far my favorite comic book series that I’ve kept up. Even when cutting my book budget down to the minimum I saved the money for each volume that came out. So when I spied a new John Allison series starting I jumped on board without even looking at the... Continue Reading →
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 →
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 →
