March 2023 TBR

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 →

Top Ten Tuesday: 2023 Debuts I’m Excited For!

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. There are so many debuts releasing this year that I want to … Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday: 2023 Debuts I’m Excited For! →

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 →

Top Ten Tuesday: Most Anticipated Releases for the First Half of 2023

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. My first Top Ten Tuesday since May, 2022! It feels weird to … Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday: Most Anticipated Releases for the First Half of 2023 →

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 →

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 →
