nevertheless, she persisted
This was a rough week. For various reasons, my anxiety has been a little bit out of control and it’s just been affecting everything in my life. There was even one day I didn’t even feel like playing Animal Crossing. I’m not saying this so you feel sorry for me (please don’t), just the reality […]
Read MoreAt the beginning of the year, I published a post all about the upcoming movie & TV adaptations I’m excited about. And, of course, I forgot quite a few of them. I also found out about quite a few more that have since been announced. So, naturally, this required a second post. So here are […]
Read MoreOver the past couple of years, I have been trying to get over my fear of giant books. And I’ve been doing fairly well. I knocked a few giants off my TBR already. Turns out, the two biggest, most intimidating books I read last year turned out to be some of my all-time favorites. If […]
Read MoreIf you follow me on Instagram, you might already know that, in addition to reading, I like to knit. I don’t knit as much as I’d like to (mostly because nice yarn is expensive and also because I live in Southern California, which means I don’t really get to wear the things I knit), but […]
Read MoreSomehow, we’re already a third of the way through May and one day into Tome Topple, which means I probably should be farther into a few more books, but I’m not. Which I guess is fine because I read five books this week! I have absolutely no idea how that happened. The first book I […]
Read MoreIt’s time for another round of one of my favorite readathons – Tome Topple. This is a two-week long readathon – running May 9 through 22 – with the goal of reading books over 500 pages. If you’re new to Tome Topple, you can check out Sam from Thoughts on Tomes’s announcement video for this […]
Read MoreThe beginning of this year wasn’t great for reading, at least for me. In February, I went on a trip and was incredibly sick when I came back. I spent like two weeks at work before getting sent home (I’m still working from home until further notice). That means I have had plenty of time […]
Read MoreYou have probably already heard me talk about my love for Alison Weir’s Six Tudor Queens series. Weir writes both history books (like my favorite Queens of the Conquest) and historical fiction books. I’ve been reading her books for over a decade. She’s one of the reasons I love Tudor history so much. This series […]
Read MoreThese weekly wrap ups are probably the only reason I even know what day it is anymore. I know I’m working from home Monday-Friday, but the days just totally blend together. What even is time anymore? Okay, my brain is getting away from me, let’s just talk about books. I somehow felt like this wasn’t […]
Read MoreIf you’re asking yourself why I’m posting on a Saturday, the answer is that I am clearly way too bored and don’t have enough to read, so I’m challenging myself to another readathon. I already have a reading project I’m working on for a blog post later this month, and I’m planning on participating in […]
