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”

December 2023 in Books
December and January seem to be my best reading months. I slam through books during a hibernation period. I feel like the past few weeks, I’ve definitely been hibernating. It’s time to wind down, the magic of the holidays are settling into my bones, and the sun sets in like, the middle of the freakingContinue reading “December 2023 in Books”
October 2023 in Books
Have you guys noticed that the longer my review is, the more likely it is that I hated the book? Clearly when I’m ready to vent, I’m ready. So… get ready 🙂 Also, sorry mom, but the first review gets vulgar. It could not be avoided. October was a heavy month. That is an incredibleContinue reading “October 2023 in Books”
September 2023 in Books
Did you ever realize that SEPTEMBER has 9 letters and it is in the 9th month?! Mind blown. It’d be cooler if September wasn’t originally the 7th month of the year (“septem” is the Latin word for seven). I keep book notes by having tabs that I write on and insert into the book. WhenContinue reading “September 2023 in Books”
August 2023 in Books
If I had to describe August in one word, it would be “magical”. Perhaps it’s pure nostalgia that runs through my veins in August but there has always been something so special about this month. Most of our family trips to Hawaii were in August. We’d come back for the school year, sun kissed andContinue reading “August 2023 in Books”
July 2023 in books
One of my favorite things about July is that it’s County Fair Time. And that means I get my yearly fixing of funnel cake. I know that if I ate this stuff regularly, I’d hate it. But eating it from a questionably clean truck, while sticky from the Summer heat, and using a plastic forkContinue reading “July 2023 in books”
June 2023 in Books
As I’m slowly listening to Twilight, one of my long time friends said, “If only you could tell Teenage Lauren that she’d marry a Native American man named Jacob. She would absolutely freak out.” And that, kids, is what we call manifesting (no it’s not, please stop). Trust me, it tickles me pink every timeContinue reading “June 2023 in Books”
May 2023 in Books
Have you noticed that every month this year has had me talking about how it’s been A MONTH. 2023 is trying to test me. But this month I started drawing boundaries and taking care of myself (if you know me, you know this isn’t my normal self) which has really helped. Or maybe I’m feelingContinue reading “May 2023 in Books”
April 2023 in Books
April is always this conundrum to me. It feels like an incredibly long month but I’m also trying to grapple with the fact that it’s already over and now it’s May! I did so much in April. Hung out with so many friends, went on so many adventures, drank a lot of wine, and enjoyedContinue reading “April 2023 in Books”
March 2023 in Books
I’m really just here to bitch. So if you want reviews, scroll on down. If you want to read my bitchfest, keep on going: This year has been a whirlwind. Scotland was amazing (I swear I’ll post soon) but I feel like any and all of my downtime has been re-watching Veronica Mars (for theContinue reading “March 2023 in Books”
