Best Books of 2022

It’s time to talk about the best books of 2022. Let’s get to it. Babel Babel crushed my heart. I absolutely cried at the end. It’s unlike anything I’ve ever read before. Honestly, I can’t stop thinking about it. The world building was rich and precise. I felt like I was right there with Robin. […]

Disappointing Books of 2022

It’s that time of year again. It’s time to look back on my reading year and see what worked for me and what didn’t. As always, I like to get the negativity out of the way first, and then tomorrow we’ll move on to the best books of the year. Let’s talk about my disappointing […]

A Christmas Book Haul

We had an amazing Christmas. We were blessed to spend time with our loved ones and eat lots of great food. I didn’t get much time to read during the holiday rush, but thanks to my husband (and the Barnes and Noble 50% off sale) I’ll be set for a while. So, let’s get to […]

A Reading Update + A Festive Cup of Tea

This is definitely not the best picture that I’ve ever taken. But in my defense, it’s absolutely freezing out this morning. And I think it’s supposed to get even colder later in the week. On the bright side, we may finally get a cold Christmas down here in Alabama. Colder nights make for the coziest […]

A Bookish Christmas Craft

I love a good Christmas craft. And I’ve been seeing a book ornament on Instagram that I think is really cute. They’re making miniatures of their favorite books and putting them in a clear ornament. It’s adorable but it looks time consuming. Life has been hectic this month and I just didn’t have the time […]

My Favorite Cosmere Characters (so far)

This year I made it a goal to read through Brandon Sanderson’s Cosmere. And one of the things that I love about Sanderson’s writing is his character development. All of his characters are fully fleshed out and have their own distinct personalities. So, I wanted to take a second and share a few of my […]

My Favorite Christmas Movies

Normally, I’m not much of a movie watcher, but there is something special about a good Christmas movie. Usually, Cj and I will make some hot chocolate, cuddle up in a cozy blanket, and watch our favorite movie. So, today I wanted to share a few of my favorite Christmas movies and see all of […]

December 2022 Reading Journal

It’s time for my last reading journal entry of 2022. And this month’s theme is quick and easy, just like the last few months. I’m going to have to decide if I’m going to continue bullet journaling in 2023. I didn’t have the time to keep up with it this year, so I think I’m […]
