Alright, we're already into 2021 and I have yet to list out the remainder of books I completed in 2020. With working from home, I did find that, without such a long commute to work, my listening to audiobooks slowed down for a time. I did manage to periodically post last year so that I [...]
Isn't that how it always goes? With the library being open for curbside pickup, I've been able to start some books on my to-read list and well as get through a mountain of tv shows and movies! The library has definitely helped take me to other worlds and realms during these unusual times. Where did [...]
Ever since this pandemic hit, I have had the ability to work from home. I consider myself extremely lucky to be able to say that as others are not as fortunate. I have been staying with only a few select people seen on the regular/semi-regular and have been using my bits of free time to [...]
To begin: With a new reading challenge! Last year, I would add more books to my goal and, magically, was able to get through 52 books! This year, I started with 52 as my main goal and will try to keep on track. Now, let's get down to it - going to go over all [...]

There are a plethora of movies coming out this year, with many adaptations from books. I have a book pile that never dwindles and only seems to grow, but I have been able to get through some content recently. This past week, I saw a trailer for a movie called The Bookshop, which immediately perked [...]
Here we are again, ready to begin a new adventure! This past Saturday, I held our monthly book club, and yearly annual raku pot painting party, to discuss Stiff: the Curious Lives of Human Cadavers by Mary Roach. I was so pleased to find out that all who had finished or begun the book had [...]
Summer is in full swing now with baseball games and beer gardens overflowing with people on summer vacations! As someone who still works throughout the summer, I find my getaways through podcasts and books. I am always open to suggestions and have taken notes and bookmarked several lists, including: celebrity reading groups/book clubs, the New [...]
Well, well, well... April has finally come and is halfway over! I cannot believe how quickly this year is going this far! It has also been a while since I have made time to write anything down. It has been quite a busy time with work, both jobs that is, and planning my upcoming little [...]
