Are for all ages. I have been pleasantly surprised by how some middle grade authors tackle complex issues in a kid-friendly way. Whether reading two copies of the same book side-by-side with my sons or listening alone to an audiobook, I have discovered many middle grade books to be a fun and uplifting experience for […]

And I’m giving myself one too. Soon my kiddos will be on school break but we don’t have many plans for those two weeks. Family time, holiday movies, rest, and long walks with the pup will likely fill our days. While I will likely pull out my laptop during those two weeks just for funsies, […]

Check out my TBR for October. With SFF as my main genre, I only manage to grab a mystery or two each month and sometimes I really want more! Last October, in honor of spooky season, I grabbed a big library haul of detective/crime novels, cozy mysteries, and thrillers. It was so fun to focus […]

It’s a strange mix! Being a mood reader can make me anxious that I’ll get behind on commitments and […]
