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 June 7, 2026

Welcome to my weekly update for June 7, 2026! Hello again! My husband and I wrapped up his time working in Florida and moved on to his next work assignment at the hospital in Marquette, Michigan, on the Upper Peninsula, a couple of weeks ago. Weโ€™ve been to very few of the states surrounding the […]

10 Book Covers with Unique Typography

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.

Weekly Update for February 1, 2026

Welcome to my weekly update for February 1, 2026! If youโ€™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 […]

Top 10 Bookish Discoveries I Made in 2025

Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share the โ€œtop 10 bookish discoveries I made in 2025.โ€ I havenโ€™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 […]

Weekly Update for January 25, 2026

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 […]
