This was a tougher month for reading. Whereas the first half of the year I was in Hoboken reading every free minute I had, now I’m in this house and every chance I get I’m mostly organizing, cleaning, or putting something together. Reading has been shoved to the backburner. It also didn’t help that I…

GIFTS FOR BOOK LOVERS (That Aren’t Books!)
Since books are my love language, I wanted to round up some crowd-pleasing gifts for book lovers. Truthfully, I’d like one of everything for myself on this list! You can give one or two things on their own or an item with a book you think they’ll like. I love giving books for all sorts…
SHOP THE GUIDE
Books to Give
As we get closer to Christmas, the window for shopping online is closing! A lot of retailers won’t guarantee delivery unless you upgrade the shipping. One thing that you can buy pretty much up until a few days before the big day? BOOKS. Whether you pop into your local bookstore or shop with Amazon, you can’t go wrong with giving a book for the holidays.
There is a book out there for every recipient. This year two people on my list are getting books (they definitely don’t read my blog, so I’m safe saying that 😉). I’m rounding up some crowd-pleasing options:
WHAT I READ IN MARCH 2023
Another high/low month of reading… MY LAST INNOCENT YEAR by Daisy Albert Florin 3.75/5 Stars This is a novel set in a New England college and kind of in the vein of My Dark Vanessa. I’m going to be brutally honest here and say that while I enjoyed the book enough, it was kind of…

Book Club
I have friends from so many different aspects of my life… but the circles often don’t overlap. I end up doing things with one or two friends at a time because no one knows each other! I don’t have a huge group of friends from college who all know each other and I live far…
The Great Debate
I am so torn between hard copy “traditional” books and e-books. I read a lot. I read for at least 30 minutes every morning, but I aim for 45-60. It’s the one thing that I can do to relax and focus for the day. Reading puts a stop to the crazies and the “bad tapes”…
WHAT I READ IN NOVEMBER 2023
This is just not my season for reading! This year I was in a great rhythm of reading before falling asleep. I will admit that right now, I just want to needlepoint with a television show and then mindlessly scroll through TikTok. Not a good habit for sleep health and clearly not a good habit for…
READ WITH ME
Things I’ve Learned About Myself
I’ve mentioned on here before that I’ve been working to rewrite the stories I have written about myself in my head. I’m a firm believer that (generally speaking) what you think/believe becomes your reality. Obviously, there are exceptions to that, but if you think you’re going to have a bad day, it’s going to be a…
Packing Tips
Oh! I can hardly contain my excitement over this move. I swear I keep repeating “I live here!!!!” over and over and over again in my head. But seriously, it feels like a dream. I’ve really wanted to live in NYC for a while now, but it’s insane that it’s actually happening. The actual move was…
