Hi. We’re about halfway through November. Between finishing up work and ensuring that everything is ready for my Maternity Leave, trying to get a mountain of baby clothing (and sheets and towels and wraps) clean, get my Postpartum Meal Prepping started (started… not close to finished), the exhaustion that comes with 35+ weeks pregnancy, myContinue reading “October 2024 in Books”

September 2024 in Books
I have lived in the Bay Area almost my entire life (minus that one year I lived in Seattle). You’d think that by now, I would remember that we don’t start Fall until November. Yet every year, I get excited for September, thinking “No, this is the year that Fall starts when Fall is supposedContinue reading “September 2024 in Books”
August 2024 in Books
August really does slip away like a bottle of wine. I feel like I blinked and it was gone but that might be because I was crazy busy for the entire month. The 2nd Trimester hasn’t been as tiring as the 1st Trimester, for me but this month really tested that. I took a lotContinue reading “August 2024 in Books”
July 2024 in Books
Yeah, 2 months in a row where I didn’t take a reading while out and about picture. It’s not that I forget, it’s just that I… don’t remember 🙂 There is a difference. It’s mostly that when I get somewhere, I don’t remember to bring my book or I have a small purse that dayContinue reading “July 2024 in Books”
June 2024 in Books
Don’t mind me in May 2024 stating that I have no idea why I’m not reading as much because duh, I’m pregnant. Most pregnant people I’ve talked to have said that their reading habits definitely took a hit while they were pregnant. I also feel like this month was very… sad. My 2 physical booksContinue reading “June 2024 in Books”
May 2024 in Books
You are not hallucinating. I only really read two books this month. Even better is that I finished one book within the first few days of the month and the last with only a few days of May to spare. Want to know the problem? Fucking. Allergies. Before moving into a more central part ofContinue reading “May 2024 in Books”
April 2024 in Books
I entered April so hopeful about the amount of books I was going to read and listen to. I leave April very humbled. I simply have not been in the mood. Is it because I’ve been absolutely binging the Mercy Thompson series? Maybe. I also tried to listen to at least 10 different audiobooks andContinue reading “April 2024 in Books”
March 2024 in Books
When I started the Mercy Thompson books, I had low expectations. I had tried to get into 2 separate series’ in January because I was in the mood to get lost in a fantasy world. Moon Called really did the trick and even though there’s 13 books, I’ve been breezing through! As of March 30th,Continue reading “March 2024 in Books”
February 2024 in Books
You wouldn’t know from looking at this list but I was in a serious rut in the beginning of February. After finishing The Haunting of Hill House (disappointing), I just couldn’t figure out anything to read. As you’ll read below, I definitely blew through that but the beginning of February was so BLAH. I didn’tContinue reading “February 2024 in Books”
January 2024 in Books
Is there a scientific reason that January feels at least 3 years long while February – December is over in the blink of an eye? Is it because October/November/December is just a blur of holidays, family time, and shortened days? Our brains have gotten used to GO GO GO that January feels stagnant? I’ve alwaysContinue reading “January 2024 in Books”
