Dare I say I had a good August? It started raining toward the end of the month. I'm wearing sweats and long sleeves again. I might even break out the beanies. I got to be really social last month: a friend I hadn't seen in a while threw a pool party, my writing buddies and… Continue reading August Wrap-Up: Cooler weather at last!

July Wrap-Up: Historical fiction remains my nemesis
Hello! Last month I reread 8 books, an indication that I was under a lot of stress. I remember being busy and social. I saw my family and a few friends I haven't seen since before the pandemic. One of my friends moved to L.A., another announced an upcoming move, and yet another returned from… Continue reading July Wrap-Up: Historical fiction remains my nemesis
Alternate Taglines for my Blog
I recently changed my blog's tagline to "Books, Taylor Swift, and other hyperfixations." I thought this accurately summed up what I'm all about. That said, I did have other ideas. These are the taglines that didn't make the cut. A bi book blog A haven for doorstopper-avoiding fantasy readers Bio writer for hire Ce n'est… Continue reading Alternate Taglines for my Blog
June Wrap-Up
Pride Month is over. In truth, it didn't really feel like Pride Month. It felt more like Wrath Month. Ah, well. I saw an old friend, met up with my writing group for the first time in over a year, and visited my brother. Oh, and I joined a book club and completed a mini… Continue reading June Wrap-Up

May Wrap-Up
I JUST FINISHED THE FIRST CLASS IN MY EDITING COURSE. ONE DOWN, TWO TO GO. Once again, I don't really remember the month gone by. I experienced things but I DID NOT REMEMBER THEM. I did get my second vaccine and am now fully inoculated, so there's that. Oh, I also started a new Stardew… Continue reading May Wrap-Up
Comfort Cereals
I recently discovered a podcast about people who love cereal as much as I do. It got me thinking about my favorite comfort cereals. Any time I feel tired or homesick or dehydrated, I make a bowl of my favorite cereal. I can't and won't join the Protein for Breakfast club. I refuse. I love… Continue reading Comfort Cereals
March Wrap-Up: A Tiny Energy Boost
Another big energy drop this month! I started feeling really down around Daylight Savings Time. Talking to friends and family helped and I was able to finish a decent number of books. I also went TikTok viral accidentally, so uh...that happened. School is going well. Not too many updates aside from that. Let's do some… Continue reading March Wrap-Up: A Tiny Energy Boost
February Wrap-Up: Reading is Difficult, Friends
No one stormed the U.S. Capitol last month. Things are looking up! I had a GIANT energy drop during the last two weeks of February and didn't get much done. Then again, I am not defined by my productivity. I don't know. It's been a weird time. February Life Updates I started the editing certification… Continue reading February Wrap-Up: Reading is Difficult, Friends
I, an unqualified person, determine your ideal snack using your zodiac sign

However, I PROBABLY know enough to figure out your ideal snack based on your zodiac sign. Try and stop me. Aries Your ideal snack: Flamin'… Continue reading I, an unqualified person, determine your ideal snack using your zodiac sign
