I'm still trying to limit my screen time, so I'm just popping in for a quick roundup of the (short) books I finished this week. One, of course, is really just a long poem, but I'm still saying it counts! Fruit of the Drunken Tree by Ingrid Rojas Contreras: This was my second read-through of … Continue reading Reading Roundup #58: The Tree, the Albatross and the Wardrobe
This week went by with disturbing swiftness. I'm afraid that, between stressing over world events, work, and some personal issues that are ongoing (only least of which is eye strain), I didn't get much reading done. So, it's only a light Roundup this week. Which I suppose just means that my rage at Atlas Six … Continue reading Reading Roundup #57: Hell Hath No Fury Like a Reader Scorned
Trying to sum up this week's reading or identify a theme is tricky. There's everything from medical ethics to gothic romance, with theology in between. I suppose the common thread is a struggle to understand the past and move forward. The history books are looking at cultural injustices, seeking to right wrongs by sharing forgotten … Continue reading Reading Roundup #56: The Forgotten Past
My reading was a bit all over the place this week, but then, I was a bit all over the place this week, so that makes sense. Sometimes, that doesn't work out well, but this time, it took me to some interesting places, from true crime to paranormal romance. And I think that variety was … Continue reading Reading Roundup #55: Death Cannot Stop True Love
Fasten your seat belts — it's going to be a long one today, so I won't keep you long with the intro. I loved this week of reading, which is filled with everything from unflinchingly realistic nonfiction to the most fantastical fantasy, with a large dose of romance novels in between. The one thing all of … Continue reading Reading Roundup #54: I Changed the Rules
Is there anything so satisfying as crossing off a book that's been on your TBR for a long time? (Except for warm chocolate cake with a cold glass of milk, of course — nothing can beat that.) I did that this week! And while I was wrapping up the 800+ page brick that is The … Continue reading Reading Roundup #53: Solving for Love
Listen, some weeks, we just want all the romance, you know? I don't have much to say about this week's "theme" beyond that, so let's jump right to the fun part, shall we? First up is Faro's Daughter by Georgette Heyer! This has quickly become one of my favorite reads and the book I reach … Continue reading Reading Roundup #52: She Blinded Me With Chemistry
One of my reading goals for 2022 is actually to slow down and take my time, instead of speeding through everything, and that's reflected in today's mini-roundup. Only three books, but I enjoyed them all, savored the best, and I still had time for plenty of napping and podcast-listening (Wooden Overcoats is back, y'all!) over … Continue reading Reading Roundup #51: Rocking Empires
We've almost made it to the end of another workweek, and I am so excited for the long weekend ahead. I'm hoping it will give me the chance to rest up that I didn't really get over Christmas, so I can pull myself together for the coming weeks. If this week hasn't been particularly great, … Continue reading Reading Roundup #50: In Search of Rest
There are so many authors out there that trying a new one can feel like a gamble — sometimes, it pays off and sometimes, it doesn't. But what if you're not in a gambling mood? That's when it's great to have a list of reliable favorites, authors you can turn to and know you'll get … Continue reading Reading Roundup #49: Bookheart
