I’ve been doing some “spring cleaning” in the middle of winter. It’s bitterly cold here; the area got almost a foot of snow a couple weeks back. It’s given me the urge to par down and redo some things. Since I can’t very well run around outside (well, I could, but I’m not in the mood to bundle up),…
Today will be an overview of my Book Club Boxes for February 2024! I will also give a brief summary of Book of the Month and Aardvark Book Club as subscription boxes. It’s been a while since I’ve done a post like this. Here’s one I did for the now sadly-defunct Crate Curator. I love talking about books! However,…
I was compiling a list of some of my favorite books for the year, and it occurred to me while I looked back through the titles, that this has been one of the best years I’ve had since I got back into reading. The more I come back to who I was and the person I want to be,…
It’s finally October, which gives me the perfect excuse to discuss one of my favorite things: horror! Here, I have collected five of my favorite horror anthologies to share. It was difficult narrowing the list down. Ultimately, I decided to keep it at a smaller number, and focus on books that are still in print. (A second part, for…

Happy Friday, everyone! Since being in quarantine, the days definitely feel a bit different, don’t they? I know for me and a lot of people, they just kind of blend together. While I am lucky enough to be employed at this present time, I still have the desire to seek creative outlets more fervently. You might have noticed the…
Hello, everyone! I have been busy this month in terms of reading, so I’m excited to share my wrap-up for the month of February. Side rant: I do not like the system of 1-5 stars. I feel it’s just not enough of a scale to accurately rate books, especially with how subjective reading is. I feel it’s more helpful to find…
Hello, everyone! My birthday is this coming Sunday, and I will be away from my phone/laptop for most of it. I’m working on a true birthday post, which will be scheduled to go up that day. It’s gonna be really mushy and feel-y. Per usual. In the meantime, here are some fun links I’ve enjoyed. What to read this…
Happy Friday, friends! Since the weekend is ahead of us, I thought I would share some interesting links. There’s plenty of reading material, because it’s still very much summer and I love a good spooky story in the heat of the season. (I also like them in the fall. And winter. And spring…..uh, just roll with it.) The rest…
Summer has officially begun! We lucked out here a couple of weeks ago and had beautiful, mild weather, but now the humidity is in force (don’t you love the Midwest?) and shorts are out, sundresses are everywhere, and sleeves have all but disappeared. It’s no secret that kimonos and sleeveless vests are everywhere at the moment, and perfect for…
