Hello, everyone! Happy February. 🙂 One month down, eleven more to go! January was a very interesting month for me, because for the first time in many years, I actually had a burst of energy with the new year. Most times, I feel just the same if not worse with the transition. However, a lot… Continue reading January ’24 Reading & Watching Wrap-Up: Reading Slumps, TV Bingeing, & Cold Days
Hello, everyone! The snow that I was so excited about a few weeks ago has gone and left a miserable chill in its wake (we did, though, have a surprisingly warm pocket which was much appreciated). January always feels like such a long month but I can't believe we're already a month into the year… Continue reading Top 10 New-to-Me Authors I Discovered in 2023 | TTT
Hello, everyone! It's finally happened -- I've finished my first read of the year! The month may be closer to ending than beginning, and I know this is a shorter read, but I'm happy. And what a sweet story to start off with! This heartwarming adventure follows 11-year-old Mira who lives unhappily with her stepmother… Continue reading Wand by Landra Jennings: A Heartwarming Adventure about Family, Grief, and Magic | Book Review
Hello, everyone! I've officially broken my book-buying ban for the first time this year -- and I'm not too mad about it. This fact partially ties into this post because the first book on this list relies on my having lacked a physical copy of it. Which I now have! I bought two others--Bunny by… Continue reading Top 10 Books I Meant to Read in 2023 but Didn’t Get To | TTT
Hello, everyone! As someone who historically loathes whatever season I'm presently amidst (except autumn -- I'll always love the fall time), I've made a very conscious effort over the last few years to romanticize and fully appreciate whatever time of year I'm at. One of the best ways I've found for me to do that… Continue reading Wintry Books, Films, & Music – The Cozy, The Desolate, and the In-Between
Hello, everyone! If you've followed my last several posts, then you may recall how frequently I've lamented the lack of snow in my area. Well, we finally got some! I made my "Mr. Tumnus's Sugar-Topped Cake" in celebration this morning. 🙂 I meant to do a Top Ten Tuesday post this week but when I… Continue reading Mid-January Update: My “Currently Reading” Pile Runneth Over
Hello, everyone! I hope you're enjoying your winter season (or summer for those in the southern hemisphere). Has it snowed for you? The weather keeps faking me out where I'm at, promising snow and then just winding up cold and rainy. Typically I love a rainy day but not when I'm waiting ever impatiently for… Continue reading Down the TBR Hole #4 | YA Fantasy, Thrillers, & Sally Rooney
Hello, everyone! How is the new year treating you thus far? I've been very busy lately, so I'm finding it easy to get worn out quite quickly. My reading has been on the back burner a bit with this transition and many new developments in my personal life, but I do plan on making a… Continue reading Top 10 Most Anticipated 2024 Book Releases | TTT
Hello, everyone! After my last post--My 2023 Year in Books Ranked--I felt my next one should be a little less...verbose. As it's the start of the new year (happy new year!) and one of my 2024 goals is to get a handle on my physical TBR, I wanted to take some time to look at… Continue reading Tackling My Physical TBR and Creating TBRs as a Mood Reader
Hello, everyone, and happy new year! I hope everyone's end of year was lovely. Most times, I come into the new year with a bit of malaise/melancholy (foreseeing failed resolutions, the imminence of aging and passing of time, etc., etc., you understand) but I feel a little better about it this year! I'm hoping for… Continue reading My 2023 Year in Books Ranked
