Book post day! One of my favorite bloggy days of the month. It’s another four-book month and that is fine. You’ll see a reason why my reading is lower than usual in a few. The Address Book: What Street Addresses…
Show Us Your Books April 2020
Book time! I’m continuing to be gentle with myself w/r/t reading goals and such, but this is another four book update and I am pleased. Because if I *did* have a reading goal for 2020 it would be 50 books,…
Spring Break Wrapup!
I have amassed a staggering amount of PTO at work; therefore, this week was my own personal Spring Break. I took off the same week that WM had off from school and even though we didn’t travel anywhere, we still…
Show Us Your Books March 2021
Last year I subtitled this post “Books in the time of Coronavirus Part1” and look at us one year later. Still a mess but closer to herd immunity due to vaccines and general human carelessness! Writers & Lovers – Lily…
Show Us Your Books January 2021
It feels so nice to write 2021. Even if things are … more of the same. I’m starting to say, “hey self, stop doomscrolling on your phone at nights and maybe read some of these books? Hm?” I read four…
Show Us Your Books: My Favorite Reads of 2020

Show us your books – September 2020
Look at me, posting on time for this event! Firstly, a huge thank you to those who donated or shared my birthday Facebook fundraiser for Black Girls CODE. We raised $300 of my $250 goal. I was afraid I’d receive…
Show Us Your Books SPRING/SUMMER 2020
You see what I did there with the title? Friends, I’m having a reading problem. It’s really really hard for me to read right now. Even the fun, summer, beachy books that I love are a slog, because every time…
Show us your books: March 2020
(aka Books in the Time of Coronavirus, part 1) Hello! I’ve been reading at a steady clip again, thanks to regular library trips. In fall/winter, I’ll go to the hometown library. In spring/summer, I visit the Philadelphia Free library during…
Show us your books February 2020
Missed January but here I am, back in February! I completely missed my 2019 Goodreads goal but you know what? IT’S FINE. It’s an arbitrary number and I missed it and the world still spins. My 2020 goal is 50…
Show us your Books – April 2019
Oh hey, I’m late to the books party. I was in warm, gorgeous (and gnat-filled) Savannah for a work conference and WHOOSH. Gone went the blog. Thank heavens I actually smartened up and wrote a lot of this as I…
