Headstrong by Rachel Swaby: Book Review

I love that Ms. Swaby has taken the time to write mini biographies of women in the sciences whose accomplishments are so often overlooked. They made significant discoveries. Iโ€™d heard of some; others were completely new to me. Iโ€™m glad to have some gaps in my knowledge filled in. I was often […]

Best. State. Ever. by Dave Barry: Book Review

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 […]

The Secret, Book & Scone Society by Ellery Adams: Book Review

Iโ€™m classifying this as a cozy mystery simply because the murder and investigation fit that genre. But itโ€™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 didnโ€™t […]

Vicious by V.E. Schwab: Book Review

Iโ€™ve somehow never read any of V.E. Schwabโ€™s books, and I consider myself to be a constant reader who loves fantasy. Vicious served as a nice introduction to her work. Alternating between the bookโ€™s present-day and flashbacks throughout various charactersโ€™ lives, the plot moved along quickly […]

Greenteeth by Molly O’Neill: Book Review

What an absolute delight! I just texted my sister to recommend Greenteeth to her. I wrote, โ€œItโ€™s an old school fantasy/fairy tale. It felt a little retro in a time when fantasies are either urban fantasies or sprawling epics with 50,000 characters and entire magic/religion/political systems […]

Sparked My Interest: August 2026

Welcome to Sparked My Interest: August 2026! Iโ€™ve decided to try my hand at expanding my blog to include more than just books. In this type of post, Iโ€™ll be sharing articles, podcasts, etc. that sparked my interest. I hope they catch your attention as well! I downloaded the Finch app on my phone […]

Weekly Update for August 16, 2026

Welcome to my weekly update for August 16, 2026! My sister visited my husband and me in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan over the past week. I didnโ€™t schedule anything to post while she was here because I knew I would be busy with her. She left for home yesterday but we had a great visit! She fell […]

(re)Viewing Last Month: July 2026

Welcome back to (re)Viewing Last Month: July 2026, my monthly recap of the movies and television series my husband and I have been watching! We took a lot of long weekend trips in July, which means we spent time watching whatever we could find on hotel TVs in the evenings. We watched more movies and […]

Weekly Update for August 2, 2026

Welcome to my weekly update for August 2, 2026! This has mostly been another quiet weekend since my husband was on call for emergencies at the hospital again on Saturday. He was off last Monday but it was such a rainy and dreary day that we didnโ€™t do anything. My sister is flying in for a visit […]

Weekly Update for July 26, 2026

Welcome to my weekly update for July 26, 2026! Itโ€™s been a busy couple of weeks! My birthday was July 18 and my husbandโ€™s was July 25. We took a trip to Mackinac Island, Michigan for my weekend. Conditions were not ideal for Mackinac Island with all the wildfire smoke, but luckily it had improved […]
