    While picking my top ten favorite books of the year is fun, it is always so hard to do! Most years I read a number of amazing books that remain with me for a while. Others fall under the great but not memorable category while, evidently, there’s also a few flops. So choosing […]

    Well, friends, another year flew by! I can’t believe we’re in 2024 already. Time goes by so fast, but the silver lining is that I’m getting closer to retiring from my full-time job so I can dedicate more time to this blog! At least that’s something positive I’m looking forward to. But for […]

Be aware that all of these books contain some trigger warnings. If you’re a very sensitive […]

    I decided it’s time I start doing things a little differently moving forward. I want to offer my readers curated lists of books that might be of interest to you. Not everyone is a fan of large books, so I thought of a few shorter thrillers I can recommend for those of you […]

    This is one of the hardest decisions I have to make reading wise when the time crunch at the end of a year approaches. I set a reading goal at the beginning of 2023, and I know for a fact I will not fulfill it. I still surpassed my Goodreads goal number wise, […]

      I can’t believe there’s only two months left in the year! Time flies, and I’m just realizing I will not get through all the books I intended to read this year. That’s nothing new though, if you know me a little. But that’s something I will talk about in a future post. […]
