I didn't record my DNFs this year, which helped me feel less ashamed about the practice of DNFing. Then good ol' Storygraph shared my DNF stats in my 2022 Reading Wrap-Up. I am trying to sit with that discomfort. This list includes books I DNFed last year that filled me with some sort of annoyance… Continue reading Top Ten DNFs of 2022
Through my liberal practice of DNFing, I mostly read books that I enjoyed. There were still a few books that disappointed me. I read each of these books in its entirety without enjoyment. The Ruthless Lady's Guide to Wizardry by C. M. Waggoner I have mostly wiped this book from my memory. All I remember… Continue reading Top Ten Least Favorite Books of 2022
I could start things off on a positive note, I suppose: I finished school. I now have a Certificate in Editing from the University of Washington. After a year and a half of cramming assignments after work, I am finally free. Now for the rest of the month: NOT GREAT. The previous month's news became… Continue reading June Wrap-Up: I hate it here
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.

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
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 don't normally do a list of my least favorite books of the year. Everyone on BookTube was doing it, though, and it looked really fun. I disliked quite a few books this year, so narrowing this list down to ten was a REAL CHALLENGE. I managed, though. I had a minor change of heart… Continue reading Top Ten Least Favorite Books of 2020
I'm not very good at Among Us, but I still love it. I like to switch up my character a lot, but my favorite iteration is brown with wolf ears.
