A 2017 Retrospective (plus some reading goals)
Happy 2018, everyone. I hope that you had a good New Year. I spent New Year’s eve with my family, celebrating my Nana’s birthday, and then my husband and I spent New Year’s day driving back home from Portland. The New Year is always a great time to look back on the year behind you […]

Top Ten Tuesday: 11 Books I Need to Read By the End of Year
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature brought to you by The Broke and the Bookish. The period between Thanksgiving and the end of the year is typically a good time to wind down, but if you’ve got a big reading challenge to finish up it doesn’t alway feel that way. My grandma and I […]

Top Ten Tuesday: Halloween Freebie
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature, brought to you by The Broke and the Bookish. Happy Halloween! It’s so strange–as a kid you’re excited about Halloween no matter what day of the week it falls on, but as an adult I feel like I’m usually more excited about the weekend closest to it. This […]

Top Ten Tuesday: Books I Read In a Day
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature from The Broke and the Bookish. Let me just say that I’m not really good at reading books in one sitting. I’m not even very good at reading one book at a time. If I’ve “lost” my current book around the house, I’ll just pick up another one. […]

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature brought to you by the Broke and the Bookish. This week’s topic is about the books you want to read this fall. I’ve read a lot of books this year, but I haven’t done a very good job of keeping up with my challenges, so this fall will […]

Top Ten Tuesday: 5 of My Audiobook Experiences
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature brought to you by The Broke and the Bookish. This week’s topic is all about audio, so I thought I’d talk about audiobooks. I don’t tend to listen to a lot of them unless I’m actively doing something like dishes or folding laundry or driving because otherwise my […]

Top Ten Tuesday: Ten Books that Have Been on my TBR Since I First Set Up a Goodreads Account
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature brought to you by The Broke and the Bookish. In college I took a required class that I hated–a library studies class that taught you how to use the databases. Useful, but mind numbingly boring. The best thing to come out of that class was the discovery of […]
