Another week, another snow storm. I think this was our biggest one this season and I spent a fair amount of my week shoveling and checking for broken branches because of it. Nothing major as a result of this one, thankfully. Unfortunately I didn’t get too much reading done last week, but I did get … More 19 Mar 2023 | Sunday Synopsis
We got more snow this weekend, we have another big storm on it’s way, and we’re getting more snow on top of that next weekend. I’ve accepted it now. At least shoveling is a good workout. Nature’s strength training to add to my exercise routine. I went to a new-to-me library recently, one of my … More 12 Mar 2023 | Sunday Synopsis
For a while, audiobooks were working really well for me. Last month, however, I realized that I wasn’t as engaged with the books I was listening to compared to the ones I was physically reading. I’m not entirely sure if it’s the audio aspect or just that those books happened to be the ones I … More February Wrap Up | 2023
I didn’t finish everything on my TBR last month, so I made an even longer one this month. That makes sense, right? I’m still working on finishing up some series that I’ve already started, I have a couple ARCs I need to read, and a handful of other fantasy and non-fiction books I’ll hopefully also … More March TBR | 2023
Can we have spring weather now? When I left the house the other day it was snowing, and by the time I got home it had stopped snowing and completely frozen into a thick sheet of ice. We got more snow on top of that yesterday, and we’re getting plenty more this week too. If … More 26 Feb 2023 | Sunday Synopsis
Last week was vacation week, so we checked out some new-to-us local bookstores and cafés. One of them was a converted mill, and one of them had the most delicious chocolates. It was a fun week and we got a little break from the freezing cold snowy weather, which made it even nicer for going … More 19 Feb 2023 | Sunday Synopsis
It’s finally getting warmer (at least for now) but everything in my town is still covered in a layer of snow. It’s funny because basically every town around us has almost no snow left and we’re still hanging on to the last couple inches. I did some more shovelling this week to help certain spots … More 12 Feb 2023 | Sunday Synopsis
Hey friends. It’s been a couple weeks since I did a little update, and it feels like a lot has happened in that time. Since I last checked in two weeks ago, I celebrated my birthday. We spent it having a pretty big snow storm that took out our power for the majority of the … More 05 Feb 2023 | Sunday Synopsis
I feel like I keep making reading plans, then not exactly sticking to them. I also feel like my TBR has gotten to be a bit intimidating even though I try to keep it relatively small. So I took a lot of things off my general TBR and just kept the things I’m most excited … More February TBR | 2023
Last month I finished reading 11 books. A real mixed bag of books from the tbr, series, and a new release. I ended up re-evaluating my general tbr in the middle of the month, taking a lot of things off of it and altering my reading plans for the rest of the month. I’m happy … More January Wrap Up | 2023
In an attempt to reduce the number of series I’m reading at once, I recently decided to DNF quite a few, but that doesn’t mean I’m not still in the middle of a fair amount. Hopefully I can catch up on most of them and get my current series down to just a few at … More Series I Will Finish in 2023
Today is not my birthday, but it was on Monday. Another trip around the sun completed. I don’t normally do much for my birthday, but I am using it as an excuse to get my friends together for an escape room this weekend, something I’ve wanted to try for a while. For today, however, it’s … More Birthday Book Tag
I’m making a solid effort to reduce the number of series I’m currently reading this year, either by finishing series or DNFing them. But I still have a small list of series I’m eager to get started on once I catch up on the ones I’m already reading. Here are some of the series I’m … More Series I Will Start in 2023
Last week we had another snow storm and it’s rather white and chilly out there now. I had some old wine glasses and terrariums that I wanted to put some plants in, but I haven’t had the best luck taking care of succulents and other tiny plants. Plus the room they were going to be … More Sunday Synopsis
Too many books, not enough time. The usual problem. Most of these books came out last year and I really want to get to them soon. They’re all fantasy, either fairytales or authors I’ve previously loved. I will definitely probably maybe read these books this year. Top 5 Tuesday is hosted by Meeghan Reads Illuminationsby … More Books I Will Definitely Read in 2023
Last week, I was home alone for most of the week. My partner had to travel for work, and I decided to use the time he was away to read through as much of my tbr as I could. Of course, that didn’t go as planned, but I did finish a few things that I … More Sunday Synopsis
With the new year, a lot of people like to set resolutions to live a better life. Although I do like setting some goals for myself to work toward in the new year, I never set traditional resolutions. So instead, I thought I’d talk about some books based on common resolutions in the form of … More Good Intentions | Book Tag
It’s a lot easier to say you’re going to read a book than it is to actually read it. I’ve had more than a few books on TBRs or anticipated reads lists that I ended up either DNFing or just never making time for and still hope to get to at some point. Here’s every … More Every Book I Didn’t Read in 2022
After joining the book community a few years ago, it wasn’t until last year that I made a true effort to get more involved. I started posting more often and more consistently, meeting other people in the community, and paying a lot more attention to recommendations and new releases. While all of that has been … More Bookish Resolutions for 2023
Last week I hung a picture wall in my office, which I am quite pleased with. The Christmas decorations have been put away, and I’m chipping away at my to-do list for the month of chores around the house. I also visited my extended family and made some plans with friends for later in the … More The First Week | Sunday Synopsis
