  • 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…

  • 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…
