May 2023 Wrap-Up

Well May was a whole month. The goods news: I got a promotion! And changed library branches. It's been over a week and it still feels very surreal and very weird, because I'm going from being one of two adult programmers to one of seven. I'm not used to having to battle for meeting space … Continue reading May 2023 Wrap-Up →

April 2023 Wrap-Up

April is over, and what a month. Most importantly, I had a book birthday! That Slow Awakening (Amazon link, with has the ebook and print book options) released April 11th, and while it wasn't a strong release at all because I suck at marketing, I'm still super duper happy with it, because I published another … Continue reading April 2023 Wrap-Up →

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 →

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 →

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 →

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 →

July 2022 Wrap-Up

I knew that July would be a semi-slumpy month. And that's okay. It followed me binge-reading nearly a book a day for two months for my book club's semi-annual team game. I needed a break. I wrapped my impulsive Murderbot reread and then I read a book that took me a damn month to read … Continue reading July 2022 Wrap-Up →

June 2022 Wrap Up

Welp, fully two posts made in June, and one was a tbr and the other was this one. Is this winning? Maybe July will be the month I get back to blogging. Maybe. Mayyyyyybe. I dunno. I have lots of bookish things I want to talk about, but I don't know. Right now I am … Continue reading June 2022 Wrap Up →

May 2022 Wrap-Up

Whoops I ghosted again. I intended to post. Had a whole plan lined out. And then I just...didn't write it. So yeah, that happened. No ragrets. Anywho, May was a good month overall for me, mostly because I dropped a couple of things I was doing (writing fiction, writing on the blog, posting on Instagram … Continue reading May 2022 Wrap-Up →

April 2022 Wrap Up

I think April was a series of (small) revelations for me. Mostly because I missed a lot of my self-imposed goals, and also because I'm starting to realize that I can't do all the things I want to do, and mostly, because Forever and Everly's post on disconnecting from bookish social media sparked something, as … Continue reading April 2022 Wrap Up →
