  • My Thoughts on My Neighbor Totoro: The Novel

    Hello and happy Sunday. By the time you read this, I’ll be in Panama, either at the beach or by the pool, celebrating my 32nd birthday. I don’t know what I’ll be reading then, but if it’s even somewhat similar to the novelization of My Neighbor Totoro, I’ll be satisfied. Like I just stated, this…

  • I DNFed My Entire Monthly TBR

    Hello and happy Saturday. Remember a few weeks ago when I told you I’d start sharing my monthly TBR so you knew what reviews to expect? Well, this month you won’t get those titles reviewed because I DNFed all four of them. I think I might be experiencing a reading slump because books aren’t really…

  • I Think I’m Done With this Author

    Hello and happy Sunday. A few years ago I used to adore Holly Bourne, so much so that I decided I’d read every book she wrote. My tastes have changed, though, and I’m pretty sure this is an author I’d say doesn’t stand the test of time. Again, I’m talking specifically about my reading experience…

  • My Thoughts on Careless People

    Hello and happy Saturday. From the moment I first heard about Careless People by Sarah Wynn-Williams I knew I wanted to read it soon. Thankfully, it was available via Kindle Unlimited. This is a memoir by a woman who used to work at Facebook during its first years. The title is obviously very telling, and…

  • My Thoughts on Lightning in a Mason Jar

    Hello and happy Sunday. I know you’re craving a “women’s fiction” novel that is not centered around romance and that provides a good reading and listening experience. That’s exactly what Lightning in a Mason Jar by Catherine Mann is. This is a dual timeline novel that tells the story of Winnie and how she escaped…

  • My Thoughts on In a New York Minute

    Hello and happy Saturday. I just DNFed a book this morning because I wasn’t feeling really drawn to it and instead I felt like I was forcing myself to read it. I think my experience with that particular book would’ve been more pleasant had I consumed it via audiobook. I also think that what I…

  • Monthly TBR

    Hello and happy Sunday. I’ve seen different content creators share their TBR for the month and I thought I’d join in even if it doesn’t exactly coincide with the start of the month so that you have an idea of the titles you can anticipate to get reviews about. Now, I might not review a…

  • My Thoughts on The Conditions of Will

    Hello and happy Saturday. I don’t know why I waited so long to tell you about The Conditions of Will by Jessa Hastings because it’s probably my favorite book of 2025 or it’s very high in the ranking. Our main character, who’s lived in the UK for years, is told that her dad just died,…

  • My Thoughts on I’m Glad My Mom Died

    Hello and happy Sunday. You’ve probably heard about I’m Glad My Mom Died by Jeannette McCurdy. If you haven’t, this is a memoir by a former child actress who is narrating her difficult childhood and adolescence and her very complex relationship with her mom. I read this in less than a week because I was…

  • My Thoughts on Girl Town

    Hello and happy Saturday. I’ve read several short story collections and other types of anthologies, but I’d never read one in graphic format. Girl Town by Carolyn (or Casey) Nowak is exactly that: a collection of short stories, yes, but in graphic novel format. Would it also be okay to say in comic format? I…
