Something crazy happened this month. I listened to my first (new) audiobook. I’ve listened to Harry Potter in audiobook form, but it was more of a background music/comfort thing. When I got my current job (over 8 years ago), I knew I would be driving a lot so I tried out an audiobook. I immediatelyContinue reading “February 2023 in Books”

New Year, Same Me Because I am a Human Being, Not a Calendar.
Ever since I can remember, “New Years Resolutions” have been a whole ordeal. Most of the time, people end up making the same ones year after year: “Come January 1st, I will eat healthier!” “I’m going to start going to the gym on January 1st!” “Dry January, here I come!” And so on and soContinue reading “New Year, Same Me Because I am a Human Being, Not a Calendar.”
November 2022 in Books
November is probably my favorite month. I love the BER months, in general, but seeing as I was born in November, it’s my favorite by default. I’m also a big fan of Thanksgiving food. I eat non-deli turkey and stuffing once a year and I cherish it. This year, I made a Thanksgiving Pie withContinue reading “November 2022 in Books”
August 2022 in Books
My August reading started real slow. I had little motivation to read after slamming out a 17 book Young Adult series. My social life picked back up and I was busy a lot. The Sandman also came out on Netflix and I have my priorities straight (if you have not read that series, you shouldContinue reading “August 2022 in Books”
In Support of Crazy Ex-Girlfriends
Raise your hand if you’ve been in a relationship with someone who mentions they had a “crazy ex-girlfriend”. If you’re a woman who dates cis men, you have definitely heard this before, probably a few times from a few different guys, and I’ll guarantee that no matter how great of a girlfriend you think youContinue reading “In Support of Crazy Ex-Girlfriends”
July 2022 in Books
I spent July finishing off The House of Night series. If you’re wondering what I’m talking about, see my post about my June books. I am free from this series! First and foremost, this series was 12 books long… Which is at least 7 books too long. The series was incredibly repetitive and could haveContinue reading “July 2022 in Books”
The Movie Was Better.
Finding a movie that is better than the book is rare. It’s like finding a four leaf clover or a pit bull who actually understands that they’re not a 5lb lap dog. As you know, I’m a book junkie. I love reading. And nothing is more terrifying than seeing a book you love turned intoContinue reading “The Movie Was Better.”
June 2022 in Books
When I met my niece, I knew I had to make her a mini me. So far, so good. Honestly, maybe too good. A few months ago, she started reading a Young Adult vampire series one of my aunts had given her. She became obsessed and handed all 17 books over to me. Wonderful. ForContinue reading “June 2022 in Books”
Restaurants: Road Trip Style
I love food. There’s really no ifs, ands, or buts here. I feel like a big part of a trip is eating at new places. The Greek in me insists that the best way to get to know a culture is through food. Taking people to restaurants I love is part of my love language.Continue reading “Restaurants: Road Trip Style”
May 2022 in Books
As you all know, May was our RV Roadtrip Adventure. I came prepared… with a ton of books. I am proud to say that I did finish (almost) all the books I brought on the adventure (although I finished off the last one back at home). One of them ended up being one my absoluteContinue reading “May 2022 in Books”
