Time without you

It’s been almost eight months without you now. Time seems to be moving so slowly, yet I can’t seem to fathom how it’s already almost been eight months. I still think I see you everywhere. Sometimes I catch myself forgetting that you’re gone, and then I feel a rush of excitement when I want to…

Recent Reads Roundup

Another day another book. We’ve got a bit of a weird mix this time through, but honestly, I’m kind of into it. I felt like i was allllllmost on the verge of a book hangover, but alas, I persevered and here we are. This set of books got me through a work trip (oof), plane…

Recent Reads Roundup 3

Hey Alexa, play There She Goes by the La’s I’m just gonna get into it, I feel like there are more, but this is all I remember since the latest roundup? The Dark Heart of Florence by Tasha Alexander: This is the latest of Tasha Alexander’s Lady Emily series. This series is seriously what got…

A Letter To My Dad.

What I would give to say these words to you in person. I miss you so much. It’s like nothing I’ve ever felt before. The pain starts in my chest and quickly fills my entire body, giving me two options. Staying completely paralyzed as I absorb this feeling, or to let it out in sobs…

Crave Series

Twilight who? When the first book in this series was recommended to me, I had no clue what to expect. The only thing my friend told me was “it’s like twilight for the next generation”. Sold. And that’s exactly what this was. In a sense. But with a little less emo, and a little more…

Grief.

Going a little off topic with this one, but maybe these thoughts just need a little space in the world. Grief is a tricky thing. It creeps up on you, but it never leaves you at the same time. It’s been almost two months since my dad passed, and to be completely honest, most of…

Serpent and Dove

Another Fantasy series down the hatch Okay so I haven’t heard much about this series, but I know it’s pretty popular. It just slipped through my radar, so here I am writing this so that it doesn’t slip through yours too. The Serpent and Dove series is a trilogy written by Shelby Mahurin. I loved…

Recent Reads Roundup

Back at it. So. It is safe to say that a few of my latest reads have been all over the place. Fantasy? Sci-fi? Romance? Check, check, and check. Let’s start from the top. The Vacationers By Emma Straub: Okay sooo mixed on this one. I love Emma Straub’s writing, and this book was no…

Happy New Year

Oh, 2022. Long time no see I guess? I honestly don’t even know where to start with this. First off, I guess hello from Seattle? We finally got to Seattle, and maybe I’ll save that long journey for another day. But long story short, we arrived on Thanksgiving day and here we are! So much…

I’m Moving!

Goodbye Portland, hello Seattle! I haven’t been on here in a hot minute, but life has been wild, and to get straight to the point, I’m making the move up to Seattle! I’ve been in Portland for a few years now with my boyfriend. We moved here back in 2018 after graduating from Northern Arizona…

Buckle Up. Alright. I would like to say I’m a patient reader. I’ll wait. I typically don’t NOT finish a book if you know what I mean. I don’t “save it for later”, I’m a stick to your guns kinda gal. That being said, this series really tested me. Don’t get me wrong, it is…

None of you asked for this, but I’m sharing anyways. This was most definitely supposed to be a “books I read this month” trend, but all of the sudden September passed, and now it’s almost Halloween. So this post has quickly turned into a “books I’ve read recently”. Much less commitment this way. Chronicals of…

The serotonin boost I didn’t know I needed. I’m going to do you a favor right now and tell you to go watch Ted Lasso. Please. Please, I can’t beg you enough. It is pure joy on a screen. So far there are two seasons, and I absolutely cannot be more impatient for the third…

I love me a good trilogy I get it. Once again, I am 100% behind on this series. I’ve seen the covers a billion times and I always said that one day I will read them. Well let me tell you, that day came. Complete transparency. It was a bit of a slow burn. But…

I love love Sometimes we all need to read that book that gives us a case of the warm and fuzzies. I love when I’m all snuggled up with my blanket and a glass of wine and I catch myself with the BIGGEST grin on my face because a book has me all torn up…

Taylor Jenkins Reid does it again. Chef’s Kiss, honestly. As a former southern California resident who spent many days driving up PCH to Malibu, this book had such a strong sense of nostalgia that this element alone made me fall in love with the book. If you are a fan of Reid’s other books, then…

Delia Owens absolutely broke my heart with this one. I’m so not emotional. I don’t really cry during books. To say I was a mess by the end would be an understatement. I don’t say this to freak you out or anything like that. But I guess I’m trying to tell you that this book…

End of August Haul Okay, so this was originally supposed to be a “Summer Reading List”, but as per usual, I forgot I was going to do this, so now it’s a “Quick, let’s go ahead and read this books while the sun is still shining” kind of thing. But you know, at least I…

Have you ever felt like doing something romantic like going to see a lighthouse for The Light Between Oceans vibes? Because same. And let me tell you, it is worth it. My friend, Kristen, came out to visit me earlier in the month and we had a whooooole game plan. Kristen and I met in…

I’m behind on this. I know I know. But do you ever hear about a book everywhere you go and you’re just not into it? There’s no reason for it, but you just aren’t in the mood? That was me with this book. Every time it was brought up to me, I was just like…
