Books, Reading, and everything in between
All the blog posts of what I’ve been reading over the weekend. Big ambitious piles of books and me trying to gird my loins.
Hi hello! A couple of months ago, someone mentioned to me that they would love to buddy read The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon with me. I couldn't be more excited to read the book, but I'm having trouble remembering who I spoke to about it. But that conversation gave me an [...]
I can't believe that it's already the middle of September! And luckily the books I've been picking up have been good. Don't you love when you're on a reading streak and every book you pick up is amazing? I wonder how long this will last because I know I'll come across a dud soon enough. [...]
Happy Friday everyone! I hope you're all going to be spending time outdoors this weekend and soaking in that summer sun. I just hope there's a little sun in June here in LA to enjoy. I wanted to approach the end of my week a little differently and give you a reading update from the [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDxoj-tDDIU Happy Friday, everyone! The Jam of the Week has got to be It's All Coming Back to Me Now by Celine Dion. I remember listening to this song as a kid in car rides with my mom and sister. We would just sit there and belt out the tune with Celine. Of course, we [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTJ-oqwxdZY This week felt kind of short, but maybe that's because it's the start of a new month! I did spend Tuesday morning watching Avengers: Endgame, which was a nice way to end the month. The final day of the month to watch the final Avengers movie. After I watched it, I had to check [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvuN_WvF1to Ok I was going to post my jam of the week here, but I heard this new celebrity Earth Day song and I had to share because it's so funny and so real. The one thing I stand for is the Earth, this planet that we all live on. Seriously, there's no where for [...]
It's the last weekend of March and it felt like the longest week of March. Spring is most definitely in the air and if you're in the LA area, then maybe summer is in the air as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYv2a_VF328 Last weekend, I finally watched Baby Driver and absolutely loved it. If you're a fan of [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNeNwplE_aw Recently I've been listening to Sunmi's "Noir" on repeat. She's this amazing artist coming from Kpop female group stock and now focusing her time on creating music that is both trendy and speaks to certain social issues. For "Noir," Sunmi tackles the "self harm" we all commit for social media. While we might not [...]
Happy Monday! I decided Monday was a good day to launch into a mid-month checkin. I've been in this state currently where I'm so content just reading. I want to pick up book after book after book without the wait of analyzing and criticizing what I just read. I have notes in my notebook, but [...]

I want to check out a new city, skateboard on their boardwalk, spend some time baking in the sun, watch my husband surf, and visit bookstores The big bookstore [...]
