HAPPY NEW YEAR! I wasn’t convinced I would survive 2022. Before I get to my reading stats for the month, I’d like to go over a few of the life changes I experienced this year. A lot happened. 2022 Highlights I Finished School I had a kind of “yeah, whatever” approach to this accomplishment, mainly… Continue reading December Wrap-Up: 2022 in review
So May sucked. The Supreme Court wants to overturn Roe v. Wade. Obergefell v. Hodges and Loving v. Virginia might be next. The Buffalo and Uvalde shootings were similarly devastating. Everyone I know is sad, mad, and scared. I feel angry and helpless most of the time. (I got a tattoo about it. It helped… Continue reading May Wrap-Up: Goodbye and Good Riddance
Happy December! As always, I'm not quite sure how we got here! Last month was jam-packed with write-ins, family dinners, and karaoke. It was so packed I'm going to start with some life updates. Life Updates I got my first tattoo. Don't worry about it. Originally, my writing group had talked about getting matching tattoos.… Continue reading November Wrap-up: Turning the corner
Twitter convinced me to listen to Olivia Rodrigo's new album. I have it on right now and so far I really like it! Ashmita @ The Fictional Journal created a tag in honor of the album.

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
We're eleven days into January and I'm just now posting my reading stats. Blame the jerks who tried to take over my country's government last week while the president did nothing. My nerves are shot. In other news, this statement from Andrew Yang sure hasn't aged well! Shut up. Number of Books Read in 2020… Continue reading 2020 Reading Stats + Coup Thoughts: This is not a politics-free zone
One thing I love about the blogosphere: the amount of creativity and number of shared interests in the community mean I don't have to make my own book tags. Case in point, Madame Writer created a Jane Austen Character book tag. And just in time - playing multiple rounds of Marrying Mr. Darcy every weekend put me… Continue reading Jane Austen Character Book Tag
The last Raven Cycle tag I found was one of those "pick a character" ones. (And I hate those.) This is a whole new SCENARIOS tag found on Paper Fury! IT'S DESTINY. I love this series and these characters and a reread is LONG overdue. Which REMINDS me that Claire still has my copy of Blue… Continue reading The Raven Cycle Book Tag
Does anyone else remember the moment words on a page suddenly made sense? Like, one minute they're just symbols, the next you understand everything? I want to say this happened while reading a Dr. Seuss book. I know I was 5, living in Japan, and late for kindergarten. I tried telling my mom about my… Continue reading 10 Day Book Blog Post Challenge #3: How I Started Reading Books
