Now, I guess, you can call me a Swiftie. However, knowing this about myself hasn't made it any easier to pick a favorite album. Before Lover came… Continue reading Picking a Favorite from Taylor Swift’s Discography

(Read Margaret's excellent post on the subject. I loved her choices.)

I meant to publish this yesterday for Top Ten Tuesday. Instead, after three family Christmases and a miserable four-hour ride in a cramped truck, I stayed in bed and read all day. As a consequence, some last-minute books snuck their way onto my Top 10 list. It's a Cinderella story and a plot twist all… Continue reading My Favorite Books of 2019
Welp. Leelynn did another great autumn-y tag. And she technically tagged everyone. So, uh...I'm doing it. And using her graphics. Again. Anyway, FALL, am I RIGHT? Dear Emma was such a lovely read. It reminded me of the best parts of college. This book is fairly low-stakes and perfect for fall. Look. The Immortalists uses autumn… Continue reading The Autumn Book Tag
