  • My 2025 TBR List According to My Reading Challenges

    Hello and happy Saturday. I just came home from work and I have another class to teach in a little bit, which means that at 4pm I’ll probably crash. Before that, though, I wanted to write this fun post, which is by no means a reference for my reading, but it can give me an…

  • DNF: Tis the Damn Season

    Hello and happy Sunday. I’ve gotten pretty used to DNFing books early on, and I mean within the first chapter. This is what happened with Tis the Damn Season by Kimi Freeman. I honestly can’t tell you what it was about besides it clearly being a contemporary romance novel. The female main character was insufferable…

  • My Thoughts on Finding Mr. Brightside

    Hello and happy Saturday. Also, happy first day of March. I’m so glad February passed by as quickly as it did because I’d been looking forward to yesterday and it turned out to be sort of a disappointment. Can you guess what else was a disappointment? You’re right! Finding Mr. Brightside by Jay Clark was…

  • My Thoughts on Nothing Special

    Hello and happy Sunday. How have you been? I feel like this is the first weekend in a while that really feels like a weekend. I don’t really know why -it just does. I guess I’m relieved to be done with the beginning of the year chaos. I’m also glad to go back to listening…

  • My Thoughts on Look Both Ways

    Hello and happy Saturday. I woke up early-ish, listened to my audiobook, did some yoga and have been very productive while sipping water from a giant bottle (no, not a Stanley). Now, of course, I’ll share my thoughts on Look Both Ways by Jason Reynolds, which I read a few weeks ago while I was…

  • My Thoughts on Good Kings Bad Kings

    Hello and happy Sunday. How are you today? Are you ready for the week ahead? I feel like I didn’t get a proper weekend since I had to work yesterday, but oh well, such is life. I’m still going over books I read in December, and today I want to tell you about Good Kings…

  • My Thoughts on Mayhem in Circulation

    Hello and happy Saturday. I had to work today, so excuse me if I’m not very coherent after having spoken to 23 families about, well, their children. In December I took advantage of my Everand free trial and listened to the audiobook of Mayhem in Circulation by Leah Dobrinska. I’d originally gotten this book via…

  • Books I’m Adding to My Wishlist in 2025

    Hello and happy Sunday. This post genuinely excites me because for years I’d put my self this sort of book buying ban, and now it’s been a year or two since I decided that was BS and I could allow myself to get more books even if I had hundreds of unread ones in my…

  • Everand Free Trial Recap

    Hello and happy Saturday. This post is the Everand version of ‘Is it Worth It?’ which I’ve done for Kindle Unlimited. Now, Everand is what was formerly known as Scribd. It works similarly to KU: you pay for a monthly subscription and have access to eBooks, audiobooks, and in this case, other forms of media.…

  • My Thoughts on Fatima Tate Takes the Cake

    Hello and happy Sunday. I am using my brand new computer to write this post, and you don’t know how happy that makes me. I’d had my old one for nine years, and although I’d taken great care of it, as I do with everything I own, it was evident that I needed a new…
