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 […]

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 […]

Weekly Update for July 12, 2026

Welcome to my weekly update for July 12, 2026! My husband had a four-day weekend for Independence Day so we drove up to International Falls, Minnesota and visited Voyageurs National Park. Itโ€™s our 57th national park out of a total of 63! We did a little hiking but this is a park that really needs […]

Weekly Update for July 5, 2026

Welcome to my weekly update for July 5, 2026! I hope my fellow Americans had a happy 4th of July, and the rest of you had a good weekend, however you chose to spend it! My husband and I took a little day trip last Sunday to explore some smaller sights we hadnโ€™t seen yet here in the Upper Peninsula […]

(re)Viewing Last Month: June 2026

Welcome back to (re)Viewing Last Month: June 2026, my monthly recap of the movies and television series my husband and I have been watching! Works appear in the the order in which we finished them […]

Weekly Update for June 28, 2026

Welcome to my weekly update for June 28, 2026! My husband was on call for emergencies at the hospital all last weekend so we didnโ€™t do anything. It was nice for me to have a weekend to relax though. I like to share some of our pictures with you though so there are a couple below. The sunset […]
