Hi Internet! It's that time of year again. I'm pleased to report that even with moving, traveling, and starting school again, I still managed to read 53 books in 2017. Not as many as last year, but given the chaos my life has been through in the last 12 months I am not in the [...]

Glamour Addiction
Dear Dr. McMains, I recently read your book Glamour Addiction. It took me all of a few paragraphs for my eyebrows to go up, and all of five pages to grab a pencil, defacing the margins with comments like “YAASSS” and “yes this!” Allow me to explain. We have similar back-stories, Dr. McMains. I started [...]
Books I’ve Enjoyed this Spring
Hi Internet! It's been a while since we talked books. I've read a fair number thus far in 2017--the count is up to 21. Unfortunately a lot of them haven't been the greatest, so rather than whine, I'd much rather just tell you about my favorite books so far this year. Tally ho! EVERYTHING I [...]
Just Books, I Swear
Well. Yeah. So. It's been a month, hasn't it? I have been ridiculously busy, more so than my usual due to some exciting developments from a plan I set in motion 6+ months ago. I know that's irritatingly vague, but I really can't say anything conclusive yet. I promise I will update everyone soon. So, [...]
October Reads…a Lot
My fervor for blogging has diminished of late, as my writing-energy has been focused on grad school applications. But not, it would seem, my desire for reading, as this month I have blown past my 50-book goal for the year, with no sign of slowing down. I am currently reading another book not listed here, [...]
September Reading Frenzy!
Hi internet--let's talk books. This month has been a watershed month in terms of reading quantity. After a much-needed vacation, I discovered how to get e-books from our library, and so now I've read everything I could get my hands and eyeballs on. Also B&N had a sale on SFF, so. You know. CHILDREN OF [...]
August Books
Well, I'm back. Hi internet! I have returned from gallivanting across Iceland, the Netherlands, and Belgium. My brain has returned to the correct time-zone, but I'm still not sure what day it is. I intend to write at least two posts on our travels, but first thing's first--a book round-up. After my slack-off in July, [...]
July Books
Like most things in the month, my reading in July took a bit of a dip. I read three books. To be fair, they were all rather dense and not fast reads, sooooooooo. Excuses excuses. Vagina: A New Biography, Naomi Wolf I picked this one up on YouTube recommendation. It is a non-fiction exploration of [...]
June Books and Life Update
Hello people of the internet! I hope you are doing well. June has been....well it's been a month. It turned into a bit of a blog-hiatus for me, not because I didn't have things to say, but mostly because what's running through my head lately is pretty repetitive. I'm trying de-tangle my life and goals [...]
April Showers Bring May…Books?
Happy end of May! It's been a weird month here in Central New York--summer weather, snow, more summer weather. The book-drought of April has given way, and I'm more than back on track for my yearly reading. I've read six books this month and 24 book total this year--48% of my goal of 50 books [...]
