November Wrap-Up

I’ve been slowing down my reading this month partly cause the year’s winding down, plus I’ve already met my reading goals for the year. All of the books I read this month were for book clubs I’m in. I was planning on reading more during the Thanksgiving break but the best laid plans. Darcy

Monthly Wrap-Up | July

I didn’t read my usual amount of books this month. The last week of July I ended up sick with Covid-19 but this was my first time getting Covid since the shutdown. So, while it felt like the flu with vampire sharp teeth, it was when we knew more about it and had vaccines against […]

Monthly Wrap-Up | June

I think we can all agree that June was just a shitty month, at least in America. I first want to apologize for all the white women centering about the overturn of Roe. Am I upset and fearful about the overturning of Roe? Yes, of course. BUT, I recognize that this has been going on […]

Monthly Wrap-Up | May

I’m so excited that in May I actually read all five of the books I chose from my Fates jar. I started the process of choosing five books each month on the last day of February for the month of March. I had planned to use the Fates jar to pick books I owned but […]

I was about to say that April was probably my worst month for reading (in terms of how many books read); however, […]

Monthly Wrap-Up | March

In March, I started a new method to chose books that I own and haven’t read. I had found a glass jar (something from Michaels) and wrote numbers on scraps of paper. In my reading journal, I wrote down the list of books and numbered them. I was planning on just using this for when […]

February Wrap Up

February was tragic to be blunt. From Abbot’s horrible letter to DFPS to investigate gender affirming behavior as “child abuse” to Russia invading Ukraine, my heart goes out to all the families and people fleeing Ukraine, as well as young to old going back to Ukraine to fight for their country, and my heart also […]

January Wrap Up

Phew! I don’t know about y’all but January seemed like it would never end! So far the year has been pretty good. While the day-to-day is pretty meh, I was contacted for a second interview at a university library. My reading was pretty good this month, at least for what I want to read for […]

September 2020 Wrap-Up

Oh boy! Who would’ve thought I’d look back on 2016 fondly? Because I definitely didn’t; 2020 is not pulling any punches. I still cannot believe The Notorious R.B.G. died, so for anyone who lives in the United States and is over 18 vote like your life depends on it!! Stats 💜 Books Read: I’ve read […]
