Well, as most of you may know, August is going to be a big month for me, as I'm having surgery to have my thyroid removed in about a week. I'll have about two weeks, at least, off from work and I'll be pretty much either watching shows/movies or reading during my time off. It … Continue reading July 2022 Wrap Up
Earlier this month, the library I work at went fine-free, which has been getting a mixed response. You’d think our patrons would be happy to not have to pay late fees anymore for their overdue books, but I guess not all people think that way. I get it. When I first heard about libraries going … Continue reading Discussion: Fine-Free Libraries
Another month gone. This one has been a bit long for me, and the coming month is going to be longer. I recently had an ultrasound done on my thyroid because of a lump my doctor felt on my throat in that area, and they want to do a biopsy on it now. The problem … Continue reading June 2022 Wrap Up
It's officially summer now! Which ironically means that the days will slowly start getting shorter, but it means we're on the way to my favorite season - fall/autumn! I feel like as a New Englander, it's almost a requirement to love fall. Why? I'm not sure. I think it's just the vibes of fall that … Continue reading 4 x 4 – Four Books for Each Season
I don't know why, but I thought it would be fun to share the books I have checked out currently from the library (or as I call it, work). If you're not a librarian and think that if you were one, you'd check out books consistently... then you're absolutely right. I'm constantly bringing new books … Continue reading What I Have Out From the Library (June 2022)
Yesterday I went to Wesleyan RJ Julia Bookstore to attend a book signing for an author of one of my favorite series. Soman Chainani is the genius behind The School for Good and Evil series which was technically written for the middle-grade age group, but does have a more YA feel to it. The event … Continue reading Book Tour – Soman Chainani @ Wesleyan RJ Julia
Yikes, I can't believe May is gone already. I feel like it was just last week I was trying to figure out what to do for my birthday and now a month has passed. This year is simultaneously flying by and dragging, if you ask me. Of course, I'm also still here thinking it's 2020 … Continue reading May 2022 Wrap Up
April was a bad month for reading. I started off well enough, but I finally hit that dreaded reading slump. I went through a few books where I didn't get past the first chapter before putting the book down. I didn't even bother to count those as DNF books because I knew my heart wasn't … Continue reading April 2022 Wrap Up
I'm shocked at how quickly March went by, and at how many books I read this month. It certainly didn't seem like a lot, but I read 15 books. I think it was the Harry Potter rereads that made it feel like I didn't read much, since I went through those slower than usual. As … Continue reading March 2022 Wrap Up
I don't know how it's possible, but February went by quick yet slow at the same time. Hmm... Like last year, I actually read quite a few books for the shortest month of the year. I totaled twelve books, which I think was the same as last year now that I think about it. Give … Continue reading February 2022 Wrap Up

Sixteen-year-old Tessa Johnson has never felt like the protagonist in her own life. She’s rarely seen herself reflected in the pages of the romance novels she loves. The only place she’s a true leading lady is in her own writing—in the swoony love stories she shares only with Caroline, her best friend and #1 devoted … Continue reading Review: Happily Ever Afters
