Book Series I Want to Read In 2023 | Top Ten Tuesday #5
Good afternoon, Valkyries. It’s Tuesday. Again. And almost the middle of the month. Where on earth is November going?! Just a fair warning: I’m a smidge sick today.

Why I’m Breaking Up With Book Arcs In 2023
All year long, I debated writing this post because I wasn’t sure of my decision yet. I didn’t want to come across as someone ungrateful for the hundreds of ARC opportunities I’d been given. I didn’t want this decision to be clouded by memories or emotions, good and bad. I didn’t want it to be …

The Small, Quiet Joys Of Disappearing
I miss disappearing. Is that such an odd thing to admit? That I miss fading away the online world and vanishing into life? That I miss going days on end without bumping into another soul? Without compulsively wondering if I should be speaking, posting, feeling, judging, sharing, or doing everything in the public eye? Without …
My Summer 2022 Tbr List | Top Ten Tuesday #1
These days, I tend to steer clear of forming any sort of definitive tbr plans/lists. Simply put: I’m a creature of whims and suck at them. Which I suppose makes me a moody goose, but it keeps my reading palate varied and spontaneous. I enjoy the surprise reads around life’s corners, the kind that can’t …
