December 2020 Reading Wrap-up

Finally 2020 is over! I look forward to starting 2021 with a positive outlook and hope for the future. December was a good reading month for me, since I was off over school for most of the month and so I could dive a lot into reading. I read a total of 21 books last …

Simply Christmas

I'm mostly taking this week off, from Christmas to New Years. It's been divine, though I will say I've mostly been just playing video games and reading all week. It's a divine life. I'll get back to work next week, but in order to give myself a week off, I don't have a full post …

My Semester is Over! +thoughts on school during the era of Covid

This past week was finals week at my college, which means I'm finally free from school! For month, at least, until I go back to torture myself...I mean, to learn more. But let's not think about that as I celebrate another successful semester! I wanted to do just a relaxing post discussing my experiences and …

Book Review: Marley by Jon Clinch

Growing up, I was a massive fan of The Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. I have not only read the book multiple times, often around Christmas, but I've seen at least a dozen of the many adaptations of the book (some far better than others). So when I stumbled upon this book, which purported to …

Christmas Cracker Book Tag

I mean, you know I have to do a Christmas book tag. I found this one and it looked fun and perfect for this time of year. As of when this post goes up, it's Christmas Eve Eve! For those who celebrate Christmas, Merry Christmas! For those who don't, Happy Holidays! I discovered this book …

Reading Wrap-up: November, 2019

This month I read 12 books, which isn't horrible, but I also was still finishing a lot of books for October I got for Halloween and didn't have time to finish. So this month felt like I read a mix of Halloween and Christmas-themed books, with some YA fantasy and non-fiction thrown into there. Very …

Merry Christmas!

Things are hectic at my house, with the holidays and selling my house, so I didn't have a post planned for today. But, since it's Christmas Eve, I thought I'd share my favorite Christmas poem with you. If you aren't Christian, you probably won't care for it, but it's my personal favorite! For reference, Longfellow …

Christmas Songs Book Tag

Christmas Eve is exactly two weeks away from today (Monday, Dec. 10), so I thought I'd do a few book tags this month. Unfortunately, I have searching for some good ones for weeks and had yet to find any I liked, mostly because the questions were pretty generic and ones I've answered multiple times (like …

Book Review: Winterfrost by Michelle Houts

This will be the first of many Christmas/winter themes books I will be reading, both this month and probably for the rest of winter. I don't what it is about winter that makes me want to read books set in cold places. Anyway, I was drawn to this book both because of its cover and …
