Hey everyone! I’m back with my June wrap up. June was an interesting month. There was a lot of carryover from May so I started the month incredibly stressed and anxious. I started therapy (I have anxiety exacerbated by work). I had been putting it off all year, but couldn't any longer. I scheduled the…

Hey everyone! I originally intended to include these blog changes in my 2020 goals that will be published on January 1st, but decided to turn it into a discussion because I have a lot to say. I'm going to be really honest and transparent here so please bear with me. 2019 was a really discouraging…

Hi everyone! I really wanted to do a 2019 reading wrap up with graphs and shit like I did last year, but I'm feeling super lazy because I'm on vacation and I just don’t have the energy to compile any of that information. My energy is reserved for pushing play on Netflix and watching Youtube…
Hey everyone! Today I'm here to talk about my favorite books of 2019. It's no secret that 2019 wasn't the best reading year for me. I've read 100 books (personal record!), but it doesn't feel that way because the year was overshadowed by disappointing reads. However, there are 10 books that really stood out and…
Hey everyone! I was sick the past week (and still recovering), but I'm back with another end of year list. Today we're going to talk about the most disappointing books I've read this year. 2019 was an okay reading year. I read 100 books (a personal record!), but so many of my highly anticipated releases…

Hi friends! Today I'm here to talk about my reading habits and the changes I've noticed over the years. I thought it would be nice to talk about this before I published my end of year posts. I've been a voracious reader my entire life so my reading life has been through some things. Let's…
Hey everyone! I'm here with a follow-up to my 5 star predictions post that I published way back in March. I honestly can't believe it took seven months to read the five books on this list. Actually, I can believe that it took that long because I suck at TBRs. Even though it took longer…
Friends, I still can't believe we're in the final stretch of 2019. It feels weird, but I've already started watching cheesy Christmas movies and playing Christmas music nonstop. I don't normally do a whole lot of reading in December so my goal this month is to wrap up as many outstanding stuff as I can.…
Hi friends! During my hiatus I had the (not so) bright idea to do a Q&A and giveaway to celebrate my second blogiversary, which was on August 27th. As I started compiling the questions from Twitter and Instagram, I realized that this post was going to be too damn long so I decided to split up…
