Hello, everyone! Wow, it's been a while since I've last written on here. I hope everyone in the book blogging community (and beyond, of course) has been doing well! It's been a rather hectic past few months for me -- so much so that I haven't gotten much reading in (I've strangely found myself pivoting… Continue reading Summer ’24 Wrap-Up: Long Time, No Talk & Happy Fall!
Hello, everyone! Happy June. 🙂 How was your May? I'd love to hear.

Hello, everyone! If you saw the outline for this post in your feed a few days ago, I'm so sorry about that!

Hello, everyone! How has your February been? The days have been such a blur lately. I think February has been mostly a month of tempering/moderating for me. The new year typically doesn't mean too much to me but, for whatever reason, this year filled me with such a huge burst of energy and and inspiration.… Continue reading February ’24 Wrap-Up: Finding Balance, Good Films, and The Bear
Hello, everyone! So far, 2024 hasn't been much of a year of reading for me but that's not to say I haven't been consuming media and analyzing it, at least to some degree. I rewatched Heathers (1988, dir. Michael Lehmann) the other day after not feeling like I "got it" the first time around, and… Continue reading How Heathers (1988) Uses Color as a Storytelling Medium
Hello, everyone! Happy February. 🙂 One month down, eleven more to go!
