Yes, I know the month isn’t quite over. But I’m going to go ahead and call it. This month, I read 0 new books. Okay, to be completely honest, I did start one new audiobook, but I haven’t finished it. I just can’t with the story. I’m about 15% of the way through. My issue … More March Reading Wrap-up
I thought I’d do an almonst-but-not-quite-mid-month reading update. Why? Because who doesn’t love reading stats. To recap, in January, I read a total of 48 books. February, I read 18 books. And how much have I read in March so far? Okay, so that’s not technically true. I have read emails and the area orientation … More Reading Update March
This has been another insane month.

I created my own 2025 Off My Shelf Reading Challenge with only 24 prompts as a way to clear my TBR bookcase. Because prior to culling my bookcase last summer, I had over 350 … More 2025 Off My Shelf Reading Challenge Part 2
Too much going on in the writing world. I can’t necessarily process it all. Saddened but not necessarily surprised. Maybe that is what actually should surprise me—that I wasn’t surprised but just disheartened. People in a place of power and privilege using that power and privilege against those who have no power/privilege or a very … More Processing Difficult Thoughts (Or In the Alternative, a List of Fave Fantasy/SciFi Authors and Books)
I’ve previously mentioned that I don’t just have a TBR shelf, I have an entire TBR bookcase! For the past several years, I’ve slowly been trying to tackle myTBR, including this major effort in 2023. This also involves purging books that no longer spark joy. It’s an ongoing work in progress with various levels of … More 2025 Off My Shelf Reading Challenge
