Reading Challenge 2020: April
Hello! Last time I checked, today is Thursday towards the end of June...and knowing that this post is technically for April just really fits with my personality and aesthetic. 🙂 The challenge book for April was A Long Petal of the Sea by Isabel Allende, challenge being to "read a book that was originally published...

May Wrap-Up
Somehow it is more than halfway through June, I'm officially done teaching for the school year (what a WEIRD end to my first-year of teaching), and I am ready to play catch-up...starting with my wrap-up from last month! May was a busy month for reads: I read nine books I hadn't read before and two... Continue Reading →
Review: The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie
I have been telling myself to write this review for a couple of weeks now, and finally, here we are! Despite my inability to stick to any sort of schedule, I am SO excited to talk about this book. Last month, I read The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie by Alan Bradley, and... Continue Reading →
Review: Pride
Okay, taking a brief hiatus from haikus and Pokémon Go (yeah, I still play it) to bring you a BOOK post! I honestly couldn’t tell you how many times I sat down to write this post, only to be distracted by haikus, Pokémon Go, guacamole, or the book I’m writing. I’ll just say...I finished reading...

It is the... Continue Reading →

Hello book lovers, and happy new year! I love the start of each new year. Fresh goals, fresh intentions...a fresh start, really. As so many do, each new year I set goals for myself and this year, a few of them center around reading and writing: Read 40 new books--the focus is on books I... Continue Reading →
May Reads-2019
April was basically a blur and here we are in May already! I am OFFICIALLY done with grad school (graduation was on Monday which already feels like it was a year ago) and what a wild ride that was. Part of me is ecstatic to be done with school and part of me is ready... Continue Reading →
February Reads–2019
We're more than halfway through February...but better late than never when it comes to this month's reads, right? After finally finishing and submitting my edTPA last week and graduation just around the corner, I feel like I can finally, slightly, relax. I have a big stack this month in the to-read pile...a couple of which,... Continue Reading →
