DNF @ 50% (second try) I give up. I gave it a valiant effort. I really did. The first time I made it right around the 100 page mark before I gave up from boredom. But, this book has a ridiculous amount of raving reviews, so I thought I’d give the audio a shot in hopes that it’d be better. It wasn’t. I wasn’t a fan of the narrator at ALL. He was SO boring! Some of the accents and […]
Back in 2018, I posted about My Journey Toward a Healthier Lifestyle. I had just hit the big 3-0 and had a huge wakeup call – I was the biggest I’d ever been in my life, and I was miserable. I started walking and eating better, and I lost 50 pounds in 9 months. I was doing great, and more importantly, feeling great! Fast forward to my dad being diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer in 2019 and his downward spiral in 2020, […]
Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl Today’s topic is: 2021 releases I was excited to read, but didn’t get to! Looking back at my most anticipated books of 2021, I actually did really well. I managed to read 9/12! So, the top line consists of the 3 on my most anticipated that I didn’t get to, and the rest are a few other 2021 releases I was excited to read but didn’t get around to either. […]
Okay, so this book took me foreeeever. I started this behemoth September 20th. Didn’t finish until November freaking 22nd. TWO. MONTHS.

Plus, this book is HEAVY. It probably took […]
It’s been so long since I posted an update! I stopped doing monthly hauls – I barely got any new books or merch last year, so there didn’t seem to be much point – and that was where I always gave my little life updates. I need to get back to doing that! My last life update was my post in November 2020 where I talked about where I’d been after I stopped posting in the last half of 2020, […]
A few years ago I saw Cristina @ Girl in the Pages post about her 5 star reading drought (which was originally inspired by Lauren @ Bookmark Lit’s post here), and I thought it was such a great post, so I did one of my own! It was really interesting to see what me 5 star reads looked like for last year, so I’ve been doing it ever since! Past 5 star books posts 5 star books of 2018 5 […]
