What I’m Learning this Month
I feel like I’m prefaced so many thoughts and sentences with the phrase: “with everything that’s going on…” But, it’s no less relevant or true. So many things are happening everywhere and it’s impossible not to be affected by it. This is the time of month when I would share the list of books I’mContinue reading “What I’m Learning this Month”
My Love Affair with Books
I truly believe that there will always be a place for bookstores. People will always need books and people to sell them. Faceless corporations can only do so much.
What I’m Reading Right Now: May
May has been a bit of a blur. It felt like the month only started yesterday, but here we are over half-way through already. I guess time flies when you’re in government-mandated social distancing? But the silver lining is that I still have lots of time for reading. Though⎯somehow⎯I’m still reading at my usual snail’sContinue reading “What I’m Reading Right Now: May”
Am I not Smart Enough for This?
Do you ever feel like everyone in the world knows more than you about everything? Okay. Well, maybe not everyone. But many many people.

Now IContinue reading “What I’m Reading this Month: April”

Hello and welcome to March. It’s that month that is the teasingest of all the months. In the morning it feels like spring is imminent, but by the afternoon it’s snowing. But, one consolation, it’s not February. And we can all live in the knowledge that spring will eventually arrive, whether it wants to orContinue reading “What I’m Reading Right Now: March”
What I’m Reading Right Now: February
Hello, and welcome to February. It’s that lovely time of the year where we all feel relieved that January is FINALLY over, but still feel a vague sense of dread because winter is far from over and February is basically the Tuesday of the year; Monday’s crappy cousin. But don’t fret because there are alwaysContinue reading “What I’m Reading Right Now: February”
What I’m Reading Right Now: January
Hello and welcome to 2020! With the start of the new year, I wanted to dive right in with some bookish content and start a monthly post sharing what I’m reading. I’m notorious for reading multiple books at a time and after finishing a bunch of books before Christmas I went on a bit ofContinue reading “What I’m Reading Right Now: January”
