Two thousand twenty. Twenty-twenty. 2020 I'm sitting here on the cusp of the New Year, looking back over the last 12 months. And what a year was 2020. And in looking back, I decided to list my Top 20 of 2020 broken down into Top 5s in 4 categories. 1-5 — Top 5 Books I …

Yomitan Day Trip

On November 12, 2020November 15, 2020 By LALIn living abroadLeave a comment

I haven’t been venturing out much. Like many places, COVID has been on the rise out in town. Okinawa is a tourist destination for mainland Japan, much like Hawaii. So even though Japanese do wear masks, I have opted on the side of caution and have just stayed home. Staying home has never been a …

Banned Books Week started yesterday. To celebrate, I like to read at least one banned book during this annual celebration of reading. Banned Books Week, which the American Library Association started in 1982, celebrates the freedom to read. As a lifelong reader and booknerd, I support the free and open access to information and the …

Thoughts on a Weird Year

On September 21, 2020September 21, 2020 By LALIn About Me5 Comments

This has been the weirdest of years. If tomorrow the news reported that aliens were invading, I'd probably shrug and keep going about my day. Alien invasion? That's a slow news day after a year filled with as much emotion as 2020. I've been thinking about the weirdness of 2020 quite a bit because I've …

My Review of The StoryGraph (Beta)

On September 17, 2020September 18, 2020 By LALIn Books14 Comments

As a book nerd who's on numerous bookish email newsletters and in numerous bookish groups, I often hear the buzz about some new app or a new website, and usually not too long after whatever it was has launched. Most recently, people have been buzzing about the The StoryGraph. I don't always immediately check out …
