Happy Friday! I heard this new song from Drax Project and Hailee Steinfeld, but I think this music video is life goals for me. I always imagine myself dancing down the street (sometimes more than just dreaming) and it feels exactly like this. I hope this new little bop gets you going and dancing down the…

I’m so glad March is over. This last week of March felt like the entirety of January in one week. It was long. I remember when I was in school and dreaded March because there aren’t any good holidays and time off. I guess the feeling is still the same now that I’ve grown. This…

I’m so glad February is over. It was an exciting month with a lot happening, but it wasn’t my best reading month. I read seven books. I always end up putting too much pressure on myself to read and when I don’t read “enough,” then it feels like I failed. Don’t you hate that feeling?…

Welcome to the first wrap up of the new year! If you’re new to the blog, my wrap ups are related to the books I’ve read over the month; what worked and what didn’t work. I hope you enjoy it! January worried me a little. I felt like I was doing a great job, but…

I love the end of the year. It’s like ending an experiment and reviewing all the data to find trends on what happened. Is that too nerdy? It might be too nerdy. Every year, I put together a list of my favorite books from the year. But when it comes to my reading life, I…

November felt like such a great reading month and now it’s over. LOL. But let’s not discount December, the month of cozy reads, holiday treats, and possible gift cards to Barnes and Noble in your stocking. Let’s take a minute to enjoy what we’ve got this holiday season and the final monthly wrap up before…

I’m going to be honest, August and September were crappy reading months. I was in the middle of moving everywhere and spending time on people’s couches and on air mattresses. I feel like the last thing on my mind is reading a book, which is something that I don’t normally say to anyone. But I…

And like that, August is over. I always associate August with the end of summer. This is probably the case for many people because September is back-to-school and we’re all hardwired to think that going back to school is the end of summer. While I wish I had a bigger bang to my end-of-summer, I’m…

I can’t believe July is already over. It’s already over! Well, today is the last day, but it feels like it’s already over.

Alright folks, I’m going to be honest with you. Maybe I’ve been too honest lately with how I’ve been doing, but if you don’t follow me on Instagram then I can tell you now that June wasn’t kind to me. June hit me with a wave of emotions and I’ve been out of sorts for…
