Books, Writing, & The Cozy Life
I couldn't let 2021 end without highlighting my bookish endeavors from the year, but it was a struggle to figure out how I wanted to present this post. In years past, I would share data: the number of books I read, a breakdown of their publication years, how many books featured diversity, etc. But I've... Continue Reading →
Dear Friends - I am happy to share that my reading slump ended around mid-November. In September I deleted my Goodreads Reading Challenge and stopped tracking the number of books I've read. And then - I just kind of stopped reading for myself. But that break was important because it allowed me to flip a... Continue Reading →
Happy Wednesday, friends. I'm back to share this week's reading with you. Today's post is a much more reasonable offering because I'm moving through my current book much more slowly than is typical. It's Jane Eyre and I'm very happy to be taking my time with it and am supplementing the reading with sharp feminist... Continue Reading →
I don't think anyone can say this is a particularly joyful weekend given the state of the world. I wanted to write this post yesterday but couldn't quite bring myself to do it. But of course, the point of this practice is to find joy even when it seems like there isn't any, so here... Continue Reading →
What do you do when the reading is so good that you just can't stop? You keep reading, of course. I've embraced that philosophy this week as I've gulped down one book after another. Who knows when this well will dry up? I might as well enjoy it while it lasts! The Whispering House by... Continue Reading →
This post is a little late today -- I actually had it ready to go this morning and decided not to push publish. My blogging routine is feeling so blah lately! But I'll stick with what I have for today and figure out next week when it comes. Last week finally felt like summer and... Continue Reading →
I'm not sure how many times I'll get away with saying it, but I'm going to try my luck one more time: summertime reading is the best! I've read a wonderful variety of books over the last week and can't wait to chat about them with you. As always - I do my best to... Continue Reading →
Well, hello August. The summer weather has been hanging around the last couple of days and I'm trying not to be disappointed. July was perfect for me! And I suppose a little suffering is to be expected in August. Despite the warm weather, we managed to spend most of the weekend outside, which has worked... Continue Reading →
Friends - I've had another excellent week of reading since we last gathered. I'm really struggling with writing today's post because this week's update is full of tricky books to talk about without including spoilers. But if you ever want to chat behind the scenes about anything in particular, just let me know in your... Continue Reading →
Happy August! I have to say that this was probably the best July of my life. It was relatively cool, we were outside nearly every single day of the month, and it was full of my favorite things. I'm hoping the weather in August is similar! These Monday morning posts give me an opportunity to... Continue Reading →
