It’s getting close to the end of the year, which always means looking back and reminiscing about the events and happenings. Like the memes all mention, 2020 felt like the entire decade of events happened in one year. But I think the one saving grace of the entire year was my love for books. With…

Happy Monday and happy last day of November! I can’t believe we’re here again! Around this time of year, I’m always feeling a little bit of fatigue from reading. I think it’s because the year is winding down and all I want to do is watch comforting movies and eat cookies and hang out with…

It might be a week late, but I’m finally done writing about the books I read in October. While my brain is still a little mushy from the events happening in the United States, I was able to accomplish many of the goals I set up for myself. I read my fantasy books. I doubled…

Wow, we’re here again. I don’t know what’s happening, but I feel like these months keep getting shorter and shorter. I welcome it, though because that means October is a day away and I’ve got some great books to read in October. This month, I fell into a little bit of a reading slump and…

Hello everyone! Long time, no talk. I know it’s been a while since we’ve chatted, but my mental health has been struggling severely. Happiness feels more like a concept than a reality for me these days and reading…well, let’s just say it’s been put on the back burner. I didn’t think I would read anything,…

Happy December, folks! I feel like December crept up on us because one minute it was Thanksgiving and the next minute it’s all about the holidays. Then again, I guess every year is like that. I think the only difference is that the weekend after Thanksgiving this year was December 1st. While there were a…

After a night of Halloween candy and watching scary movies, it’s finally the end of October. And that means another wrap up of my reading month. I read nine books this month. I feel like I need to re-name my wrap ups to “books Simone spent a month yammering about because they’re so good.” Because…

September always feels like a transition month. It’s the end of summer, but the beginning of fall. It’s the end of summer vacation and the start of the new school year. I always consider September as the beginning of a new year because of my old school days. It makes me excited and also makes…
