What I Read This Week: May 22 to 28
Despite massive migraines, it was a pretty good reading week, especially considering that I finished three of my Book of the Month backlist books! Elsewhere by Alexis Schaitkin I love dystopian fiction, but this book was a miss for me overall. In a world where girls grow up to be married and have children, these…
12 Books I Want to Read This Summer
It’s nearly June, which means summer is nearly here! With my kids being older and my full-time job, summer doesn’t look much different than the rest of my year, to be honest, but I do love the prospect of warmer temperatures, longer days, and a much-needed vacation in July. And, of course, more books to…
What I Read This Week: May 15-22
This was a mixed week of audiobooks and physical books, with some really good reads topping my list! Girl, Serpent, Thorn by Melissa Bashardoust A loose retelling of Sleeping Beauty with so much depth and nuance, I loved this book. Read my full review of Girl, Serpent, Thorn by Melissa Bashardoust here. Before I Let…
A New Fairy Tale: Girl, Serpent, Thorn
Girl, Serpent, Thorn by Melissa Bashardoust; A Five-Star Book Review I love fairy tales. The magic, the romance, the monsters, the inevitable battle between good and evil… I’m here for all of it. And retellings are just as good in my mind, when they’re done well. Girl, Serpent, Thorn by Melissa Bashardoust is a fairy…

What I Read This Week: April 24 to April 30
Does anyone feel pressure to squeeze in just a few more books during the last week of the month? I sure do. April has been a month of ups and downs, reading-wish, and I spent the first part of this week slogging through a book that I eventually decided to stop reading because I wasn’t…
Three Things I Wish I’d Known About My Mental Health
Have you been asked the question: “If you could go back into your past and do things differently, would you?” I have, and while I definitely wish I could change past events and decisions, I know that I am in the place I am in now because of those choices. I wouldn’t change my history,…
Signed, Yours Truly by Abby Jimenez
Five-Star Book Review: Yours Truly by Abby Jimenez All signs should have pointed to me hating Yours Truly. A primary trope in this contemporary romance by Abby Jimenez is the failure to communicate, the romantic plot device that I loathe more than forced proximity (and that shows up in Yours Truly, too). I should have…
What I Read This Week: April 17 to April 23
This week was slower compared to the last, but I still cleared two books from my to-be-read bookcase and most importantly finished Yours Truly, Abby Jimenez’s new book!
