October & November 2025 Reading Recap

Ummm…so I took an unexpected break from blogging for the last two months (story of my life this year!). Things were crazy at work with big writing projects, I had travel to see the family, and I ended up getting sick for 10+ days, so I feel like the last two months went by in a blink of an eye. But I am DETERMINED to catch up on reviews! I plan to write at least two after this blog post to get…

September 2025 Reading Recap

Well, I was expecting October to start off as a more productive month, but here we are, nearly halfway through, and I am just now getting around to recapping my September reads. Let’s not even think about how far I am behind on reviews currently (spoiler: it’s a lot!) Working in a field that requires me to write all day can definitely leave me feeling burnt out when it comes to drafting blog…

July & August 2025 Reading Recap

You know when you have such grand plans, but then life gets in the way? That was me at the end of summer. It’s been so long since I sat down to write a blog post, as things got way more hectic than I expected in August. But, luckily, it was for a good reason – I closed on my first condo, and I am officially a homeowner! That still feels so surreal to say, but it’s true! So August was crazy…

June 2025 Reading Recap

How are we already in July? I feel like June was gone in the blink of an eye. I felt like I read a lot this month, but I also didn’t finish many books. Sometimes the month just unfolds that way. I also felt unusually busy in June, but I cannot pinpoint one exact reason why. Probably the stress of moving in August and navigating all the real estate things related to buying my first condo! And…
