2016: A Book Review
One of my resolutions is to remember to post more (I got overwhelmed between trying to write more and adjusting to my new city!) But I did still read a ton, and I was organizing my books into categories when I saw Mari at Story and Somnomancy post this breakdown that I liked, that it looks like…

No YOU carry too many notebooks…
The way to my heart is through a notebook. It’s not surprising, and maybe a little sad, but I am a sucker for a beautiful notebook. I’ll go into a stationery store to calm myself, and am usually good about not buying anything new. Occasionally I cave, if one is pretty enough… ….Even if I…

February Wrap Up, And Looking Ahead to March
I, like so many others it seems, it a really bad book slump this month! I blame Rainbow Rowell for this, as Fangirl was just too damn good. I did start a few, and I picked up a bit as the month came closer to an end and A Gathering of Shadows came out. (If you are…

Powerball Ticket? I can’t decide.
Living in (or near?) America, you know that the Powerball is currently at $1.4 billion. That’s over $860 million, lump sum. Remember that book from when you were a kid: How Much is a Million? That’s all I could really think about on my walk home today. It’s a pretty uphill battle, so pondering things makes…

December Wrap Up
I think I am going to start doing monthly wrap ups and projections for the month. Seems like a fun idea, no? But it’s also a way I can keep myself on track. Especially as I work on my New Year’s Resolutions, which one of them is to stay more organized! So let’s see…. Books…

December TBR List
AKA my Subway distraction list! I’ve seen this floating around and think it’s an excellent idea. I read 8 and a quarter books in November, so I’m going to make my list based on that. I also need to wrap up the books I’ve started and have sitting on my Goodreads list. So we’ll go…

A Salinger Character Moment
Despite its thin walls and lack of air conditioner, I love my new apartment. I good portion of it is still in boxes (most of my bedroom and half my kitchen?) but I can sit in my living room and pretend that the rest of the place is unpacked. And getting rid of a car…

A Mini Update
I feel like I haven’t read anything in months! This isn’t true at all of course, but I definitely haven’t been reading like I was. I recently accepted a promotion in my company, and the promotion comes with a great big move to New York City. Nerves, excitement….you name it, I’m feeling it. This move…

NaNoWriMo Prep: Ramblings of an Update
One of the items on my long bucket list is to finish a novel. I tried completing National Novel Writing Month a few years ago (six. six long years ago.), but I let finals prep always get in the way of finishing. I recently (by recently, I’m talking June-ish) pulled out that incomplete story and was impressed that I…

How to Make a Tough Decision?
I don’t pretend otherwise, but I lead a pretty simple and slightly sheltered life. I’m not complaining; I actually love my life for the most part. And when it comes to decisions, I’ve only really had to face three kinds: Life or Death? Means to an End? No Major Impact These decisions are simple to me.…
