Books, Writing, & The Cozy Life
I first heard about The Greenglass House on the What Should I Read Next podcast and was enchanted by Anne Bogel's brief synopsis. Shortly after her podcast, it was included Anne's roundup of books to cozy up with this winter and she described it as a wink and a nod to The Phantom Tollbooth, which... Continue Reading →
Just wanted to pop in and share last week's Hobo spread and check in on my productivity for the week. I read an amazing book (Sing, Unburied, Sing -- but more about that soon!) that was short but very heavy, so it took the entire week. So I didn't meet all of my reading goals,... Continue Reading →
We’re only a few weeks into 2018, but I think A Gentleman in Moscow is a contender for my favorite book of the year! In a lot of ways, this felt like an adult version of Eloise and a more approachable War and Peace. I’m not an experienced Russian novel reader, but I would have easily... Continue Reading →
I wasn't planning on a Tuesday post this week, but here I am: hopped up on tea and ready to write! I thought I'd share a snapshot of last week's spread in my planner and discuss my productivity for the week. Last week was a great week for me! I had Monday off for a scheduled... Continue Reading →
I was surprised by how quickly I finished Goodbye, Vitamin by Rachel Khong. Because it was written in a stream of consciousness with short vignettes, I wasn’t sure if I was going to stick with it. I’d recently started a book that was written in the same style and had to bail. But this was... Continue Reading →
Happy Monday morning, friends! Many of you know how much I love reading Tarot cards. You can read My Tarot Philosophy here, but in a nutshell: I love how interpreting the cards taps into the hidden recesses of my brain. I spent a few minutes with my cards last night in anticipation for this week.... Continue Reading →
What a strange week! We're all continuing to get over a cold that knocked us flat last week, but I want to check in on my week's productivity nonetheless. I've been using my Hobonichi Techo Cousin to religiously track my time spent on various goals. I'm not sure if it's actually going to help me... Continue Reading →
I devoured The Witches of New York from the beginning until the end. You all know how much I love a good witchy story and this delivered! Rich in atmosphere and witch lore, this book is not to be missed by those who wish that magic was real. In the 1880s, Adelaide and Eleanor run... Continue Reading →
Thank you to Netgalley and Doubleday Books for an advanced copy. All opinions are my own. This book is scheduled to be published in March and can be preordered HERE. I remember watching a TV show about the Romanovs when I was a very little girl. It had to be before 1992, because I vividly... Continue Reading →
We’ve reached the point where every blogger is setting their 2018 goals. Last year I threw mine together in a very slap-dash way, but am happy to say that I’m still pretty happy with the way 2017 turned out. But for 2018, I wanted to be very thoughtful about my aims, so I’ve been thinking... Continue Reading →
