personal finance, waste reduction, skincare, single living, and needlepoint; hopefully travel at some point in post-unprecedented times
This might sound backwards, but I do most of my reading in the summer. I don't want to be inside looking at screens, and scrolling on your phone in the sun is an impossible task thanks to the glare so I do a lot more reading in the summer than I do in the winter. … Continue reading Summer Reading List
April was a big month for finishing books that I have been working on for a while. I've been working on the non-fiction for a few months, reading a few pages every day. It's the most effective way of reading boring books and actually finishing them. Emergency Preparedness by Don Philpott. This was given to … Continue reading What I Read in April
I hate February, I think it is officially my least favorite month. It is so dark and so cold and thank god it is short in days because it is long in feeling. I think it also especially sucked because I slipped and fell walking to my car from the office and broke my tailbone … Continue reading February in Review
January was a great month of reading, not because I read a lot, but because the books were fun. They were light, they were fluffy, there was some murder, there was some sex, there were gorgeous Italian villas, ancient libraries, and museum archives. It was just a great time. Good Girl Complex by Elle Kennedy … Continue reading What I Read in January
What I Did This Week This week was incredibly boring. It was the first really, really cold week of the winter so far and so it's just been work and hibernation and trying to remember to go out and start my car ten minutes before I leave so that the engine can warm up from … Continue reading The Friday Edit Vol. 5

What I Did This Week This week has been completely focused on getting back to real life after vacation. Unpacking, cleaning (I've washed my bedding like 8 times because Mr. Montana has been exercising his anger through bodily functions on the bed), resetting my routines, and restarting at work. And I am already tired again … Continue reading The Friday Edit: Vol. 2
Happy December! I only finished one book this month, I'm nearly halfway through Daisy Jones and the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid right now, because I want to read it before the mini-series comes out (hopefully sometime next year) and I enjoyed Malibu Rising and Evelyn Hugo so much. I don't know why I do … Continue reading What I Read in November
In October, I did the seemingly impossible, I read two non-fiction books. Which is (and was) nearly impossible. I was lucky that Bourdain is so readable and fun because Miss Dior was a tome. It took nearly 7 weeks of lunch hour reading to finish it. Miss Dior by Justine Picardie This was a very … Continue reading What I Read in October
After an insane month of reading in July, it's only fitting I guess that I only read one book in August. Beautiful World, Where Are You - Sally Rooney Overall, I'm still not certain what I think of Sally Rooney's books, I have now read Normal People and this book, and I'm not sure if … Continue reading What I Read in August
