What’s This? A BookTube Channel? – My November Wrap Up!

Posted December 7, 2020 in Checking In // 4 Comments

Hello everyone and happy Monday! I’m going to be making a few changes to my wrap ups, starting with this month. First of all, I’m removing the “haul” section. There’s a couple reasons for this. I always feel weird talking about new books and ARCs when there are so many out there who can’t bring in books every month because of their location or financial situation. I started a BookTube. In many ways, #2 feels like it cancels out #1. I don’t get dozens of books every month, either… but Book Hauls seems like a central theme on BookTube and it […]

Where Dreams Descend by Janella Angeles

Posted November 25, 2020 in Reviews // 2 Comments

There are a lot of things to really like about Where Dreams Descend. It was compared to The Phantom of the Opera when it was first announced, and you know how those comparisons always disappoint? This one did not. Particularly for those who have actually read The Phantom of the Opera rather than exclusively relying on Andrew Lloyd Webber to delver the story. Wow. Just wow. I know this book wanted perfect, but it absolutely surpassed my personal expectations. I want to start with the couple of “meh” things I found, with an addendum that even though these were “meh” things, I could easily forgive […]

Election Nerves, Reading Slowly, & Pretty Leaves – My October Wrap Up!

Posted November 2, 2020 in Checking In // 0 Comments

And just like that, my favorite month of the year is over. We’re dipping into winter up here in New England – what’s left of the beautiful leaves have faded to brown, but most the trees are skeleton bare. The air is chilly and just a few days ago, we had our first snow frosting. And so, here we are. To quote Game of Thrones… winter is coming. Overall, it was a good month. I had a lot more interactivity than I’m used to, particular for this year. We had the opportunity at the beginning of the month to connect with […]

Fall is Here! And So Is My September Wrap Up!

Posted October 5, 2020 in Checking In // 0 Comments

Hello beautiful people, and happy September? I LOVE this time of year! Since we didn’t go on any vacations this year, I saved up my precious paid-time-off and put it all into the fall because there’s no time I’d rather sleep in and linger lazily outdoors. Summer is a little too warm for my comfort – but autumn? Autumn in New England is one of the most beautiful things. And with the changing leaves and the smell of backyard campfires in the air, I’m doing my absolute best to remain positive. The loss of Ruth Bader Ginsburg hit me hard […]

So Long Sweet Summer – My August Wrap Up

Posted September 7, 2020 in Checking In // 0 Comments

I cannot tell you all how grateful I am that the heat has finally broken here in New England. In line with the coming storm season, we’ve had either sunny days or massive thunderstorms and nothing in between, and I am LIVING for it. I love thunderstorm season – there’s something to that electricity that makes me feel so alive. Also, feeling grateful because a massive might-as-well-be-a-whole-tree branch missed falling on our house by about six feet. With a little help from the wind we avoided some serious damage – the thing took down all the saplings in its wake […]
