See you in 2025
Hello, book nerds! What a year this has been. It’s had some ups and downs, but I can now confidently say that our household has arrived at peace. And I’m ready to bask in it. It’s time for my annual holiday vacation from book blogging. I’ll be back in two weeks with my reading year…

Everything I read, watched, listened to, or played in November 2024
Hello, book nerds! November is always a great month. It contains many of my favorite things: my birthday, the annual Texas Book Fest, and Thanksgiving. Plus, we had some some extra goodies this year, like my husband accepting a new job, a Linkin Park concert, and a shopping spree day with my mom. Life is…

I went to the Texas Book Fest
Hello, book nerds! If you’re not familiar with the Lone Star State’s annual book festival, you’re missing out. Every November in the downtown Austin capitol area, tents upon tents hog a few main roads, all dedicated to the thing we love most. From author discussions and signings to all the bookish goodies, it’s a blast…

Everything I read, watched, listened to, or played in October 2024
Hello, book nerds! October felt like a long month for me, in a good way. Between multiple concerts and spending a lot of quality time with friends and family, it was an enjoyable and relaxing month. A fun note: I got all of these movies from the library. Just thought I’d share, in case you…

Everything I’m currently reading (it’s a lot)
Hello, book nerds! I’m up to my old tricks again: reading a lot of things at once. Did I have to do this to myself? No. But alas, here I am. When library holds come in and ARCs are approved, do you question the hand of fate? That said, I don’t have a review ready…

Everything I read, watched, listened to, or played in September 2024
Hello, book nerds! September was full of change. I talked about this a bit in my last blog, if you’re interested. As far as media consumption goes, though, it was a great and varied month. I’m still relatively new to gaming. So, I haven’t played a whole lot of console games yet, and I was…

The library is my new Blockbuster
Hello, book nerds! ‘Tis the season for change in my household this month. We’ve had good new and bad news. The good news: we became debt-free this month! This was a huge feat and years in the making. We’re thrilled. The bad news: my spouse was let go a week later. C’est la vie. But…

Everything I read, watched, listened to, or played in August 2024
Hello, book nerds! August was a great month. I got some much needed down time and could engage with a variety of hobbies, on top of seeing friends or family most weekends. Here’s a summary of the media I consumed this month. I have a blank wall that needs artwork, but I tend not to…

Everything I read, watched, listened to, or played in July 2024
Hello, book nerds! What a month this was. From a hurricane to more than a handful of birthdays, it was quite literally a jam-packed month. Here’s some of my highlights. Another influence from my husband. I’m skilling up by playing this one, and slowly getting the hang of which buttons do what things. The NPC…

No power, internet, or cell data
Hello, book nerds! I’m sitting outside a grocery store bumming off their wifi right now to write an update. Hurricane Beryl was a quick but destructive storm — we’re going on day 3 of no power. And NO cell data, so I’m doing a true internet fast at the moment. I won’t have a review…
