Welcome to the End of Year Survey, created by Perpetual Page-Turner! I'm going to include my 2022 reading stats at the beginning, then do the book-only portion of the survey.

I’m writing this a week late on my least favorite Seattle bus. Said bus was ten minutes late and tipped me into “problematically late for work” territory. All the rattling is making it hard to type. This is a pretty accurate reflection of how my life has gone for the last month. I had a… Continue reading November Wrap-Up: Public transit as metaphor
I survived a two-week heat wave. I'm now ready for fall. I found the Ice Lolly Book Tag (created by Louise @ Book Murmuration) over at AceReader. I had to google each of the sweets mentioned but they look and sound delicious. King cones with the chocolate bit at the end are still my favorite.… Continue reading The Ice Lolly Book Tag
I made it to June, by golly. I've read 111 books thus far, 55.5% of my 200 book goal. Here are my reading highs and lows from the last six months. Best book read so far I'm on my third reread of Good Omens this year. I find it really touching. I also REALLY love… Continue reading Mid-Year Freak Out 2022
Another tag! Another tag! This one covers my two favorite things: romance and tropes. I found this tag on Another Bookworm, where I had a lot of fun reading Karla's answers. (She's 100% right about The Ex Hex.) You can find the original post at The Infinite Library. If you'd like to do the tag… Continue reading The Romance Tropes Tag
Yes, I've already done this tag. However, it's one of my favorite book tags of all time. Nish and Ngoc of Nish & Ngoc's Book Nook tagged me in this two whole years ago. (Definitely read their post before you proceed. Their answers are hilarious.) I had a post ready, then ran out of steam… Continue reading The Not-So-Perfect Book Tag: Round Two
I've had this book tag that I found on Zezee's blog languishing in my drafts for months. The tag was created over at BiblioNyan, an excellent blog that discusses a little bit of everything. I thought my answers would be outdated seven months later but most of them hold up! (I did change my answer… Continue reading Pro-Wrestling Book Tag
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
I GUESS IT'S (almost) JULY NOW. I set a 175-book goal for 2021. So far, I've read 120 books. In other words, I've completed 69% of my goal and am ahead by 34 books. Math is wild! This post summarizes my reading accomplishments thus far. Best book read so far One Last Stop is my… Continue reading Mid-Year Freak Out Tag 2021
You might not know this about me, but I cry a lot. I learned in a college class (Psychology 101, perhaps?) that a good cry cleanses your body of toxins. Crying, it turns out, is good for you. A lot of books have made me cry lately. I wanted to honor them in a tongue-in-cheek… Continue reading The Crying Book Tag (ORIGINAL)
