It's been a while since I last published a blog, but I've had some exciting life changes! In May I gave birth to my first son, and I've spent the summer taking in the newborn snuggles. Now that fall has arrived, I'm back to work, and my son is making new friends at daycare, so… Continue reading September 2025 Reads

January 2025 Reads
In between working, going to the gym, and cuddling with the cats, I was able to read 4 books this month! I continued to make progress on my 2024 r/Fantasy reading challenge, which after this month only needs 3 more books for completion.

June 2023
June was a quality, not quantity, month in reading. I finished two reads that will almost certainly be in my top reads of the year; the other two were good but not outstanding. On the plus side, I have officially hit 32 books read for the year (and I'm more than halfway through 2 more)… Continue reading June 2023
May 2023 Reads
May was a slow reading month for me, and while I knew I was going to slow down sometime, I didn't know how soon it would happen! In between wedding planning and reading some long books, I didn't get to quite as many as in previous months. However, I did reach 26 books for the… Continue reading May 2023 Reads
