What a rough first month of the year. If you remember, my mom and I both tested positive for Covid on the first of the year, so that was fun. It took a while, as we did end up with secondary issues of bronchitis (my mom) and bronchial spasms (me). Basically, the same thing as … Continue reading January 2023 Wrap Up

Good news today, I'm negative for Covid, finally! Still have a dumb cough though, and I heard it can last a while. Whatever, it's better than feeling like total trash.

We made it y'all! Happy (almost) New Year! Who else is ready for 2023?

November 2022 Wrap Up
November was the worst month I've had for reading this year. Which is fine, it's not like I need to read 11-16 books a month to be happy, but it was frustrating because I wanted to read something but at the same time nothing appealed to me.

‘Midnights’ Book Tag
Let me start off with the fact that I'm not really a Swiftie. I've just never been a big Taylor Swift fan, but I've liked some of her songs here and there.

October 2022 Wrap Up
October started off strong, but like a couple of years ago, I've hit a slump. I think this time it's because some of the last few books I've read were just "meh." That, and I think a seasonal depression has hit, as I'm getting bored with pretty much anything I do. Even blogging. I was … Continue reading October 2022 Wrap Up
Books I Recently Added to My TBR (October 2022)
As I usually say, every time I finish a book that's on my TBR, I end up adding three. I think there was some confusion on my last post like this where some people thought this was a book haul post. However, the books listed here are not necessarily ones that I've purchased; they're just … Continue reading Books I Recently Added to My TBR (October 2022)

Comfort in Fanfiction
We all know fanfiction is a huge thing. It used to be that reading fanfiction made you weird, and maybe it still does, I’m not sure.
