Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share 10 book covers with unique typography this week. I thought this was an interesting topic. Very often the font on book covers is a very readable but boring sans serif font. I had fun looking for designs that broke the mold.
Welcome to my weekly update for February 1, 2026! If you’d like to contact your US representatives about anything, the 5 Calls app is a great place to start. I hate making calls, especially about politics, but the situation with ICE is too scary to ignore. I stopped calling for quite a while […]
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share the “top 10 bookish discoveries I made in 2025.” I haven’t participated in a Top Ten Tuesday in quite a while. I sometimes get bogged down in going through all my read books to curate the perfect list so these posts can take me forever to write. But […]
Welcome to my weekly update for January 25, 2026! I hope all of you in the path of this winter storm are warm and safe. The Appalachians broke up the storm in weird ways in North Carolina and luckily my family ended up mostly getting rain instead of the devastating ice that was in the forecast. I […]
4 Stars. My husband is a travel nurse who largely grew up in Miami and in winter months we often find ourselves back in Florida as he works at different hospitals around the state. Even before we started traveling, we visited my in-laws, who live in Naples now, at least once a year. Needless to say […]
I’m classifying this as a cozy mystery simply because the murder and investigation fit that genre. But it’s way darker than I expected. The four main characters have some very troubling secrets in their pasts. It was nice to watch them share their stories and start to heal together though. I didn’t […]
A sortable list of my 2026 book reviews
We’re still settling in to our new location north of Tampa, Florida so I don’t have much to share. We did go down to Clearwater for a long walk on the beach on Saturday and it was so nice to soak up the warmth and sunshine! I always tell myself that I have more than enough seashells but I bring a […]
This post may be too detailed for all of you, but I enjoy taking a deep dive into my reading trends each year. I also like sharing favorite books from various genres that might not make it into my “Top Ten Books of the Year” post. This is always long so bear with me as I review my 2025 reading by […]
Welcome to my weekly update for January 11, 2026! My husband finished up his work contract in Georgia just before Christmas so we spent two weeks with our families. He started his next work assignment this week just north of Tampa. We are enjoying these Florida temperatures! North Georgia has fairly […]
Welcome back to (re)Viewing Last Month: November and December 2025, my monthly recap of the movies and television series my husband and I have been watching! We were on the road visiting family for the holidays in December so we didn’t watch much. I accidentally skipped November, which was a good watching month, so I’ve […]
