What I Read in September
September was booked and busy. But I did still get a couple books read! And now that I’m looking at them again, they are pretty thick, which is satisfying! The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins I initially had no interest in reading this book. I do occasionally re-read The Hunger Games trilogy,…

February State of the Union
We’re only a few days into February, but it has this energy, there is a stress, an anxiety, a rushed feeling to the energy this month. February is such a short month, but it feels like time is moving so much faster than normal this year. Maybe it’s age. Maybe it’s just that things are…

What I Read in December
I was planning on including this in my January State of the Union post but it was all just becoming too long, so I may play it by ear each month, if I read a lot it gets it’s own post, if I don’t read a lot then maybe it may get put in the…

Obsessions: July 7th
For only the 2nd time ever I missed my normal Saturday posting of my Obsessions post. The first was because I was moving halfway across the country and hadn’t fully figured out the schedule post function, this time is because I have been throwing up violently for most of the weekend and could barely even…

What I Read in July
July was one of the reading months where I tried to make myself read some books that I had purchased, somewhat on a whim, simply out of joy of being in a bookstore and most of them were mediocre at best. I also kind of think that I was trying to make myself read and…

Obsessions: July 24
I’m down in Thunder Bay for the weekend and it’s fully hitting me how much I miss city life. Walking every where, working in coffee shops, getting take out and walking down to the water to eat, BOOKSTORES, actually being able to get everything on your shopping list. I’m not hating living in Sioux Lookout,…

Mid-Week Procrastination
So this is super late – oops, but I totally forgot that today was Wednesday and then I got a last minute appointment to have my summer tires put on and drove my car out there and then decided to walk back. The walk took two hours. It started raining. I got completely soaked. And…

What I Read in May
May was a month of re-reading, nothing in my to-be-read pile was inspiring me or wanting to be read. There’s also something so comforting about reading a book that you are familiar with, revisiting a story you know the ending to. It’s probably something to similar to how people on the internet say that psychologists…

What I read in April
I hit a reading rut in April. I think it was partly because I was trying to read (a really good) non-fiction book and I’m just slower at reading non-fiction (it took me 6 weeks to read Barack Obama’s tome of a book). But I also just wasn’t in any kind of mood to read,…

Quarantine Round 4 Activities
Well Ontario. We’re nearly a week in to Quarantine/Lock-down/Stay-at-home/Flatten the curve number 4 here. And given that this is probably the worst wave that we have seen yet that when this stay-at-home order expires it will not be releasing us straight into normal pre-COVID life. So I need some things to do. In the past…
