Best Books of Summer 2021
As much as I refuse to believe that summer is almost over, August is right around the corner and school is kicking back into full swing. This summer was such a whirlwind, and my reading was a bit feast or famine -- I'd go a week without reading, then finish three books the next. But … Continue reading Best Books of Summer 2021

Unreliable Narrators: What I Read in February 2019

I finished my first book of the month … Continue reading What I Read: October 2018
All the Rereads: What I Read September 2018
In times of craziness, I always find comfort in revisiting my favorite books. This month, I had some of my favorite rereads of the year.
Suspicious Characters: What I Read August 2018
August was not a great reading month, tbh. With school starting, my brain was definitely somewhere else. I read a lot of books with strange, suspicious characters, and the good books were SO GOOD. Unfortunately, there were probably more not-so-good books. This month was my lowest book count (tied with May at 6) and my … Continue reading Suspicious Characters: What I Read August 2018
