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,…

What I Read in July
Four books! Four whole books! Can you tell that I was on vacation? I enjoyed reading so much this month. I sat in parks and read, read on planes and trains, and I just had a great time. Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin. I loved this book, and despite everyone whose book…

What I Read in May
Once again I am continuing the 2022 trend of reading two books a month, I would really like to get up to at least 4 books a month, but I accumulated a decent amount of hobbies over the pandemic; reading, blogging, needlepointing, that all take time, but now that social stuff is happening again, it’s…

What I Read in December
So it turns out I wasn’t in a reading rut, I was approaching burn out and exhaustion and all I needed was a good break and a few good nights sleep to want to and be able to read again. This is a gorgeous book and will be the start of my coffee table stack.…

Apartment Update
I feel like I am really starting to make serious progress on my apartment. It was really just the sofa that made the crucial difference. I don’t know if it’s just the fact that having a sofa makes a place feel homey and they feel essential to a house, or how much space it takes…

What I Read in July

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,…

What I Read in June
I finally got an infusion of new books on my weekend in Kenora in June and I have been feeling refreshed and ready to read again. I’m also in a big TV rut and want to watch none of the things that I have access to through all of my various subscriptions. And I have…

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,…
