She likes to ramble about the books she read, podcasts she listened to, or articles she came across. Sometimes he likes to chime in with his “knows a little about a lot” type of knowledge. We’re not experts on anything.
It's my birthday! 313 is a terrible number for your birthday when you hate threes and ones. Ran out of fun birthday ideas so I took some silly personality quizzes and go into a few little tangents for the fun of it.

Backstreet Boys or NSYNC - who's the winner?
Sometimes GoodReads ratings are wrong... sometimes they're lower or higher than they should be. Sometimes not enough people have rated the book. Either way, let's talk about things I think are overrated and underrated.
Reacting to the challenge and my issues with it over the years.
A bit of a shorter list than usual, but my tried and true faves from the year!
Everything I read or attempted to read in October 2025... vlog style! While dying a slow death. Fun!
New books coming out in October, November, and December!
In 2024 I gave these books 1 and 2 stars but lots of people gave them 5 stars. Reading reviews that help me change my mind a bit!
Of course we have to talk about The Life of a Showgirl. And I never made space to talk about The Summer I Turned Pretty so it makes sense to throw them together. ✨
Super rambly, it's been a while since I've felt chatty! All of the books I read or attempted to read in September!
Taken from an ever-changing GoodReads list - the top 100 books people think you should read at least once in your lifetime... even if that was in high school.
My face is swollen like a balloon, which makes reading bad reviews all the better, right? I gave these books five stars last year, and these people do not agree.

The top 100 books of the decade according to GoodReads... and spoiler alert - it started in 2020 and hasn't been a full decade.
2024 was not that long ago but I totally forgot about all of these books already. Revisiting my TBR from 2024 that I never got to, but hope to soon!
Revisiting what I was reading in 2020 just for the fun of it. Also updates on preschool and the craziness of life these days!

A dull month for sure, a few DNF's, zero five stars, womp womp. All of the books I read or attempted to read in May.
Summer to me means fast, thrilling, easy, breezy, beachy. All of the books I could read in the next few months... if I were the type of person who did that sort of thing.
On GoodReads, there's a section called "people also enjoyed" where it tells you other books people read and possibly gave a high rating to, based on the book's page you're on. So I looked at the "people also enjoyed" for the five stars on my read shelf and found comp titles that have similar vibes. Maybe if I give a five star to a book, it's comp will be a five star as well?
Trying to guess all of the books I read in 2024 by their first line. Why do I ever think this will be fun? This is torture. Why is this so hard?

A bookshelf reorganization took place and though I hate that it's no longer pretty, I'm hoping that it's practical. I have about 70 regular books I own that I've never read (we won't discuss the classics, etc.) so let's get cracking. Pun intended?
Everything I did not finish, aka quit, during 2024. Some maybe I'll revisit in the future but most will stay dead.
