Hello, everyone! I'm afraid to say that this wrap-up is going to be a little dinky but sometimes that's just the way it is. The weather's been faking me out a lot this past March going from very nice to very not nice very quickly -- I'm hoping it'll even out soon so I can… Continue reading March ’24 Wrap-Up: Still Finding My Footing for the Year
Hello, everyone! Happy April. 🙂 I'm so, so thrilled to see warmer days, even if it means it's a bit rainy sometimes. Winter was really dragging here, and I'm glad to part ways with it... This week's prompt is "April Showers", and I know my rendition of it is a bit of a stretch but… Continue reading April Showers: Top 10 Book Covers Featuring Oceans, Lakes, and Seas | TTT
Hello, everyone! I have to admit I was at a little bit of a loss for what to post this week as all of my book-related time has been going towards inching along in the books I've been currently reading for weeks. However, cleansing my Goodreads "to-read" shelf is always a good idea especially considering… Continue reading Down the TBR Hole #7 | Lots of Horror, A Few Thrillers, & Some Mixed Feelings
Hello, everyone! I'm so glad to finally have finished this book after talking about it for so many months -- and I'm even happier to report that it was just what I've been craving all this time.

Hello, everyone! Happy spring! Winter isn't my least favorite season but it was definitely not jiving with me this year around -- way too cold, way too long, way too not my speed. I'm looking forward to longer and warmer days, and I'm hoping that my productivity will be boosted because of it. What are… Continue reading Top 10 Books on My Spring 2024 TBR | TTT
Hello, everyone! Happy March. It's been a very nice week here, bright sunny days and flowers blooming. I think it's going to get cold again next week but I'm enjoying the pre-spring spring-like weather! What's it like where you're at?

Hello, everyone! How's everyone's March going? So, I pretty much always consider myself on a "book-buying ban". In a way, I guess this could be good as it seems like I'd be fairly strict and/or principled about the whole thing. Instead, it makes my slip-ups all the more normalized. And, honestly, I'm not really complaining!… Continue reading All the Books I’ve Bought Since the New Year | Book Haul
Hello, everyone! How's your week going? I'm feeling a lot better in terms of my reading as I just started Skyla Arndt's Together We Rot (a book I've been talking about starting for months now) and I'm finding it such a engaging read.

Hello, everyone! Happy March. 🙂 I'm elated to see warmer days lately where I'm at. Spring is slowly springing! I've been waking every morning to birds chirping and singing (a bit like the ones on this cover, actually -- especially since cardinals are actually Virginia's state bird). How is March treating you so far? Whenever… Continue reading This is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar & Max Gladstone: Red and Blue Make Purple (Prose) | Book Review
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.
