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 […]

Here are a couple favs. I didn’t read as much with youngling this year, but we loved the five-book Lockwood & Co. series by Jonathan Stroud.

At my second year of book reviewing. It’s been two years now since I joined NetGalley and BookishFirst, and began to receive ARCs from social media connections. Looking back, here are some thoughts now that I don’t feel like such a newb! Bookstagramming (is that verb? it should be!) and getting book mail is still […]

With lots of lists! I’m a library patron first, then buy my favorites to reread in future. I also purchase anticipated new releases by a few auto-buy authors. I’m a mood reader, but also a planner. It’s a strange mix! Being a mood reader can make me anxious that I’ll get behind on commitments and […]

Can be tricky. I’ve read the writing advice: it’s important to read books in the genre you write in (and outside of it). Of course you grow through actually writing and engaging in peer review, but you can also grow by diving into the work of other writers. The imagination of others can spark new […]

Here are my spooky season reads. This summer I wrote a series of book recommendation posts covering my favorite genres, including mysteries. (Check it out here if you missed it).
