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…

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…

Hello, book nerds! COVID took us out this last week — my husband and I were sicker than hell. We’re finally feeling better, but with a lingering cough and runny nose that’s very annoying. I would love to say that being sick meant more time for reading, but alas, my delirious brain could not focus…

Hello, book nerds! I never thoughts I’d be one of the book bloggers boasting a triple digit read count for a single year, but for the first time in my life, I can claim that I did it! I read exactly 100 books in 2023. Do I think I’ll do it again? Lol. No. And…

Hello, book nerds! I’ll be officially in holiday mode starting next week. My goal is tackling my TBR so that I can hopefully hit my first ever 100-book year — I’m so close! I’ll also just be enjoying the *vibes.* Got my Christmas décor up, candles burning, crackling fireplace on the TV (just because I…
