This month I have a very ambitious plan, which translates to I did fuck-all in February and am scrambling to make up for not doing anything but reading. I need to finish editing Dark Swan, because ideas for Book 3 are stampeding in and I need to get FOCUSED. And that's pretty much it, along … Continue reading March 2023 TBR

February 2023 Wrap-Up
This was a decent reading month. This was not a decent writing month, however. Aside from writing blog posts and Instagram captions, I wrote nothing creative or fictional. My goal was to finish editing Dark Swan and like, two short stories, but imposter syndrome was high this month. On the plus side, I finally got … Continue reading February 2023 Wrap-Up
23 And Me: The Books That Made Me, or Another Reading Challenge I Cannot Resist
What is a millennial without nostalgia? Nothing. Nothing at all. Which is why I'm doing this challenge and also rereading Tamora Pierce's Tortall series. I saw this on Mackenzie @ Colour Me Read's post, and I could not resist. This challenge originated with Brooke from @brooks.infinite.books and it's about rereading the books that were super formative … Continue reading 23 And Me: The Books That Made Me, or Another Reading Challenge I Cannot Resist
February 2023 TBR
This month kicks off my Tortall reread! I'm going to start with Beka Cooper, reading Terrier first and then the other two. My goal is to post about each book, and then do a mini wrap-up of the trilogy to both pull my thoughts together and contextualize (yes, so fancy and highfalutin) it within the … Continue reading February 2023 TBR
January 2023 Wrap-Up
A not-too shabby reading month overall! I read most everything on my monthly tbr (I didn't get to one and DNF'd The Thick and the Lean because #moodreader), but overall I read a lot of really fantastic books...which led to me checking out way too many books from the library and now my nightstand is … Continue reading January 2023 Wrap-Up
January 2023 TBR
I feel like December and January tbrs and wrap-ups always get the short end of the stick. In December, it's looking back on the entire year. In January, it's looking ahead to the year to come, and I can't say that this post won't do that, because I don't want to have an entire post … Continue reading January 2023 TBR
2022 Bookish Wrap Up
I'm back! I don't know what it was about 2022, but I focused more on reading and less on...other things, like blogging. I can't say that I missed it. I wrote a lot more creative works than I did in 2021, not that the publishing record reflects that, but when I wasn't worried about churning … Continue reading 2022 Bookish Wrap Up
September 2022 Wrap-Up
A couple days later than I was intending to make this, but it is here. Anywho, in a move that should surprise exactly no one, I'm taking the blog on hiatus until at least January 1, 2023. The reasons are myriad and not super complex, but I've been having less fun in this space and … Continue reading September 2022 Wrap-Up
September 2022 TBR
Spooky September is here! And to celebrate, my focus this month is science fiction books (with some fantasy scattered in because why the hell not). And the latest Katherine St John release, because culty thrillers are spooky too, right? Here're the books, and yes, they are all ARCs for the most part, aside from my … Continue reading September 2022 TBR
August 2022 Wrap-Up
I lived August like it was a Taylor Swift song. It was busy as hell and also slow as hell. I went home to see family in Oregon for the first time in three years at the beginning of August, and my wife was on leave for about three weeks this month, so therefore my … Continue reading August 2022 Wrap-Up
