9 Authors And/Or Books I’ve Struggled To Get Into: (Note: All works listed below were marketed for adult readers as opposed to the YA market.) Years ago, I had a teacher, one of my favorite English teachers ever actually, who said that she gave a book fifty pages before she decided to continue or […]
As an avid Star Wars fan, I could not pass the opportunity to start this article off with a gif: Secondly, I’m digging the weather outside except for the fact where I lived it kind of skipped spring and went straight to summer. Spring/summer has been a long time coming weather wise. If you recall […]
A few weeks ago while I was writing How did I Stack Up?: My Winter TBR, I noticed something peculiar. Most of the books I read and compiled on my original My Winter TBR List and My Fall TBR List were books from libraries. Then, I began thinking (“a dangerous past time”) of my book collection. […]
Spring? Ahhh…the second day of spring. As I write this post, I’m casually glancing out my window look at the perfect springlike weather: a snowstorm. Yes, day two of spring and Mother Nature hasn’t gotten the memo in New Jersey yet. I’m not complaining, I had the day off and finally able to finish this […]
Howdy y’all It’s been three months since I published The Books I Read This Month: October/November 2017. November 2017? Wow, that seems like it was so long ago!

It is not a proper Valentine’s Day til one woman swoons over Mr. Darcy. Then, promptly wishes he was a real life man so they get married, have 2.5 kids, and move […]
Before I continue with today’s post let me take a minute to address this will be my last post of 2017. Over the course of 2017, I have done so many things, I would not have imagined myself doing in 2016. I’m a wee bit sad 2017 will be over as of midnight today. On the […]
Today is the first day of winter! I’m looking forward to it, not just because I can wear twenty layers of sweaters either. For me, a new season means new opportunities and to keep promises I make to myself. Yesterday, I analyzed How I Stacked Up with my Fall TBR. Looking over my list […]
Ah…the last day of Fall, the puns I could make. Really, I’m trying my best to lay off the jokes. Anyway, it seems like the beginning years ago. I will admit I had high expectations for. Scratch that.
