Books, Writing, & The Cozy Life
2017 is halfway over. I'm not usually very oriented to time so I don't know what year we're in on any given day - I really have to think about it when I'm asked. I don't want to think very hard about what that means for my mental health, but I hope that it illustrates... Continue Reading →

Lincoln in the Bardo: A Novel by George Saunders According to an interview with the author, Saunders was inspired to write this book when he learned that Abraham Lincoln was known to visit and hold his son's body after he died of typhoid fever.

I'm joining up with the Broke and the Bookish this week to talk about my Top Ten Books to Read in a day. This one is kind of hard for me because I haven't been able to read a book in a day in a long time. So please know that, more than likely, I did... Continue Reading →
