So the title, short and sweet, says it all. These are the 20 books I want to get to in 2020. I'm not setting any other big 'I need to read this' goals for 2020 besides my Goodreads Goal which is set to 100 books as I'm due to have a baby within the first... Continue Reading →
December 2019 Haul
 So December was Holiday Time! Which meant lots of gifts and lots of eBook sales (the only way I buy eBooks). Leading into December I had put myself on an ebook buying ban because they’re truly my kryptonite. Once I lifted that I went a little mad. However past that my physical book acquisition...

Favorite Reads of 2019
2019 was the year of being very pregnant and very tired. That being said I got quite a bit of reading done, though I didn't chronicle it here at all. I'll throw up a post that links out to my Goodreads Year in Review later but the highlight books of my year are below if... Continue Reading →
Retro SF Thoughts : City by Clifford D. Simak
Retro Science Fiction and Fantasy has been a genre I’ve avoided since my teens. I read buckets of it as a young kid, it was all that was available to me in the library and so naturally I ate it like candy at the time. As I got older I got into the groove of... Continue Reading →

Best Books of 2018
Best Books of 2018 I generally don’t like making these lists but I thought I’d do a short one for the stuff that sticks in my mind. My husband in particular was interested in what I enjoyed most this year, and got me thinking about it anyway so I thought I’d go through and... Continue Reading →
Bout of Books 24 TBR!
So Bout of Books is happening again this next week and I figured, why not! I have a few books left on my 'recently acquired' list I want to read and I can certainly pick out a few books on my shelf. I don't know that I'll have time or be able to do the... Continue Reading →
2019 Reading Goals
2019 Goals My goals this year are going to be simple. I’m focusing on the bigger picture in my life, so I have a lot of goals this year that don’t have to do with reading. There are also some bigger family things hopefully occurring in the latter half of the year so I’m... Continue Reading →
November & December Haul
  I managed to unhaul two bags worth of books in my recent ‘catalog my books’ project. I’ve stopped buying books new unless I’ve tried it (library checkouts, samples online) previously. The used books though, that’s where I hit a hole. These are usually things I’ve heard about or sound interesting or I’ve already read.... Continue Reading →
