  • My Thoughts on The Wednesday Wars

    Hello and happy Wednesday. I promise, the title of the book and the day I’m posting the review are coincidental. I recently listened to the audiobook of The Wednesday Wars by Gary D. Schmidt. This novel is set in the late 60s in the US during the Vietnam War. This is a historical context that…

  • My Thoughts on Sawtelle Gemini

    Hello and happy Tuesday. How are you liking the daily posts? I wish I could do this more often, but July is the only month when it’s realistic for me. Anyway, I appreciate you and I appreciate having this platform in which I can write about books and other content I’ve consumed. I recently listened…

  • My Thoughts on The Wizard Returns

    Hello and happy Monday. I’m about to walk for a couple of hours, but before that, of course, I had to schedule today’s post, which is about The Wizard Returns by Danielle Paige. Earlier this week I talked about this series, so I’m not going to go over the context again. This novella features the…

  • My Thoughts on Muffled

    Hello and happy Sunday. Yesterday I went to a beautiful concert and I’m very happy and hyped and as soon as I’m done with this post I’ll write in a special notebook about that experience. Right now, though, I’ll write about Muffled by Jennifer Gennari. This is a novel about a girl who has a…

  • My Thoughts on Hallie Hath No Fury

    Hello and happy Saturday. I just sent one of those “I don’t want to continue pursuing this” voice notes to a guy I met this weekend. Being an adult is incredibly fun, right? Recently I read Hallie Hath No Fury by Katie Finn (aka Morgan Matson). This novella is a part of the Broken Hearts…

  • 100 “Must Read” Books According to ChatGPT

    Hello and happy Friday. The other day I was listening to a book about books and I came up with the idea to have ChatGPT generate a list of “must reads.” I know these lists exist already, and maybe if I’m super bored or feeling creative and productive I might contrast one made by human…

  • My Thoughts on The Hundred Dresses

    Hello and happy Thursday. I haven’t told you yet, but I will soon experience some changes work-wise. If you didn’t know, I’m a school teacher, and for the past year I’ve been working with first-graders. Now, come August, I will be working with seniors in an AP Research course. It’s a big change and I’m…

  • My Thoughts on The Witch Must Burn

    Hello and happy Wednesday. How’s July going for you? Are you on vacation? Do you live in a place with seasons? I am not officially on vacation yet, but I’m scheduling posts in advance, so by the time this is published, I will probably be reading or writing or, you know, just existing. To me,…

  • My Thoughts on The Names They Gave Us

    Hello and happy Tuesday. If you’re reading this, it means this is my last day of work for almost a month and I am just so very excited for what’s to come. In previous years, I’ve blogged every day in July, and I’ll try to do that now, or at least to post as much…

  • My Thoughts on Yolk

    Hello and happy Sunday. I have a complicated relationship with Mary H.K Choi, okay? I can appreciate her writing and the fact that she writes about issues that might seem awkward or not relevant enough. I appreciate her characters, even though they aren’t really likeable, and I appreciate the fact that I am left thinking…
