Happy Halloween! I can't believe it's the last day of October - my most anticipated month! And it has been a picture-perfect October, hasn't it? I couldn't have been happier with the foliage or the weather. But I'm here today to talk about how I've been engaging with my word of the year this month.... Continue Reading →
Friday | I’m in the Mood for Making
And I believe that our maple tree has finally hit its wintering stage. In less than a month we've gone from a full tree with just a tinge of color to nearly barren, with just a handful of leaves holding on for dear life. I mentioned this week that I'm also turning inward and am... Continue Reading →
Bookish Chatter | Nearing the End of October!
Happy Wednesday, friends. There's only a handful of days left in October and I've been savoring these last few days before Halloween. The weather has been beautifully Halloween-y: rainy, cloudy, plenty of fog. The slippery leaves on the ground add an extra layer of eeriness! I have been so pleased by the fall this year....

A Weekend Full of Leaves
Last week was a strange one - I couldn't pull anything together for the blog for some reason. I feel bad about missing my Monday and Friday posts, but that's just how it goes sometimes. I'm hoping this will be a more typical week for me! This is the picture I meant to share on... Continue Reading →
Bookish Chatter | A Good Week of Reading & The Winner of the Booker Prize (!)
Welcome to Wednesday, friends! I meant to show up on Monday for a post but didn't have much to say, so I spent my writing time catching up with all of you. It was a lovely substitute for what I had planned to do! It seems that so many of us in the northern hemisphere... Continue Reading →
Friday | A Week in October
Our maple tree somehow still has leaves on it despite how quickly my lap gets covered when I'm sitting under it and reading, even for just a few minutes. It rained all day yesterday and it is forecasted to keep raining today. We will see what that does to the leaves this weekend! I'm enjoying... Continue Reading →
Bookish Chatter | Dark Academia and an Early Winner of the Women’s Prize for Fiction
Hello friends! Even though it's only Wednesday, we've had such a variety of fall weather this week. We woke up to a cloudy and rainy Monday and a sunny and warm Tuesday; I loved both of them! We're back at school this week and I am always in awe when the transition is smooth. It's... Continue Reading →
September 2022 Reading
Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a lovely weekend. On Friday I mentioned that I wanted to get to the mountains this weekend but thought it wouldn't be possible. I'm happy to say that we went! The traffic was insane and the Kanc was crawling with tourists, but for good reason. The foliage was at... Continue Reading →
Friday | October!
What a difference a week makes! The orange leaves have crawled up our maple tree since I shared a picture last Friday and we're closer to a totally turned tree. We're hoping for a drive into the mountains this weekend to see how much the foliage has changed since our last trip a few weeks... Continue Reading →
Bookish Chatter | The Last 3 Books from September
I've already greeted October here on my blog, but each day feels more October-like than the last and I feel like I should celebrate that somehow. I have to keep reminding myself that there's still some reflecting and writing to do for September despite feeling like I've fully sank into this new month! I'm here... Continue Reading →
