Tress of the Emerald Sea Review

I’m so excited to be able to mark Tress of the Emerald Sea off of my tbr list. I made it a goal to read all of the Secret Projects this year and I’m excited that I’m sticking with it. Here’s my thoughts on it. Synopsis The only life Tress has known on her island […]

Reading to a Healthier Me: February Check In

It’s time to do my February check in. I call this series Reading to a Healthier Me because I listen to audiobooks (most of the time) while I try to move my body more and more each day. This post is the way I hold myself accountable and you guys are my accountability partners. So, […]

February 2024 Reading Journal Update

I’m going to be doing my journal updates a little different this year. Instead of showing the blank pages at the beginning of the month I’m going to show you my completed pages for the previous month. So, this update will show you everything I did in January. I figured this would be more interesting […]

February 2024 TBR

I’m reading pink and red books in honor of Valentines Day. They’re not even remotely close to romantic but at least they fit the aesthetic. My husband and I aren’t big Valentines Day people. Probably because we just got through with Christmas, my birthday, and our anniversary just a couple of weeks ago. But I […]

January 2024 Wrap Up

Hi. It’s February. I forgot that yesterday was the last day of January. If that’s any indication of how this year is going to go, then I better get ready for a wild ride. Anyhow, let’s get to my January 2024 wrap up. Emily Wilde’s Encyclopedia of Faeries Synopsis: Cambridge professor Emily Wilde is good […]

Book Warehouse Book Haul

Like I mentioned in yesterday’s post we went on vacation to The Smoky Mountains. We used to go there every year when I was growing up, so it’s a comfort destination for me. And one of my favorite stops to make in Pigeon Forge is the Book Warehouse. It’s the first bookstore I ever remember […]

A Smoky Mountains Vacation (Of Course a Bookstore is Involved)

We took a quick, much needed vacation to The Smoky Mountains this weekend. It’s been several years since I’ve been. We used to go twice a year while I was growing up, so it felt amazing to return to a place with so many great memories. Plus, this time I got to take my husband. […]

My Road Trip Essentials

We’re on our way to the Smokey Mountains this weekend. It’s one of my favorite quick vacation spots when I need to relax. It’s a perfect mix of nature and attractions in my opinion. It’s about a four-hour drive from our house to Pigeon Forge, so I need a few things to make the ride […]

Books in My Kindle Library

On Monday I shared my thoughts on my new Kindle, and I mentioned that I would share my Kindle library today. So here we are. I’m actually shocked at the number of books that I’ve stockpiled already. But the Kindle did come with three months of Kindle Unlimited so most of them came from that. […]

I Joined the Kindle Bandwagon: My Thoughts So Far

I bought a Kindle. I don’t mind reading eBooks but it’s almost impossible to read them on my iPad in the sun. The glare was killer. And considering I love to read outside (literally built a blog around it) I just forfeited reading eBooks in general. So, I decided I would treat myself and here […]
