“The End” and Other Improbable Words
I’ll admit it feels strange to be writing this particular blog post at the BEGINNING of NaNoWriMo instead of at the end like normal, but well, I was rebelling on November 1st and had something utterly extraordinary happen.

The Trouble with TBR Lists
Or More Accurately – My Trouble STICKING to said TBR Lists
So this year has been an interesting experiment in attempting to keep track of what books I’m planning to read next. My goal was to try to knock out some of my physical TBR pile which h...

Welp folks, after the (relative as I only completed 4 books out of the 11 that ended up on my TBR) success of last month’s #ARCAugust, I am, as the kids say, back on my bullshit with yet another readathon/book bingo challenge, this time with the #LatinxBookBingo hosted...

(And you, too).
This one is for the you who is struggling, who feels like you’re falling further and further behind, who is trying to keep your head above water (or at least your nose).
This one is for the you working that side hustle and tha...

… or moving on from 2018 into 2019
2018 was not a great year for me. It was a pretty meh year in all honestly. There weren’t truly terrible things that happened, but very little good did either. It was a year in which I felt like I was falling further and further behind...

So I really enjoyed this challenge last year, and while I didn't make as much headway on my physical TBR mountain as I wanted, I still think I did pretty damned good. That said, this year is ALL about the piles and shelves of books taking over our house, so all of my 5...
