So many exceptional books have come out July through September of this year, and my to-read list is way, way too long at this point. But I did get a chance to read twenty-eight books since July 1st, and here are some of my favorites you should check out if you haven't already. All Systems…
I am not prepared for the amount of awesome about to be released into the world in September. Here are the books from my to-be-read list coming out next month. Links below the covers Adult Burning Roses - S. L. Huang Road Out of Winter - Alison Stine Well Played - Jen DeLuca Young Adult…
I've been delinquent in my posts. How is it already July 12th?! Anyhow, I went back and looked at the books I read in April, May, and June, and put together my top five reads. They're alphabetical by title, not ranked in order of how much I loved them, because let's be honest, it's hard…
There's really no place I can begin other than to say that Black Lives Matter. It's only been in the last decade that I've given much thought to who wrote the books I was reading. I used to walk into a bookstore, or browse the covers online, and pick at random based on what 'looked…
Wow have the first three months of this year managed to both crawl by like shifting glaciers before global warming took hold and yet also afford me no extra time in all their slowness. But this is not a place for complaining about the weird elastic qualities of time. This is a place for me…
I keep coming across posts from people talking about the struggle of creating right now. In truth, there's a struggle in any kind of activity or thought right now.

We're five days into 2020, and I'm already in too deep with my to-be-read list. My only real saving grace is that the Seattle Public Library is amazing and has almost all of the books I want to read. My bank account thanks you, SPL. Before I write about what I'm looking forward to in…
I really don't feel like I can say this is my "Best of 2019" list because we're not even a full week into December. So many amazing books are coming out this month, and putting together a best of list without giving those lovelies a chance would be mean. BUT, maybe you're like me and…
This weekend I will celebrate my 7th wedding anniversary, and this past August we celebrated 14 years since our first date. For me, fall is a magical time and it gets me feeling all those happy romantic feelings. Guess you all know why I picked October for my wedding. Well, that and it's hot as…
I remember as a kid the fun of Friday the 13th, a day that was supposed to bring bad luck, a day that in my mind was forever linked to a 1980's horror film. For me personally, Friday the 13ths have historically been good days. I'm not sure why; perhaps I'm looking for the good…
