Hi, bookworms! This has been a… rough few weeks. As someone who struggles with an anxiety disorder, I’ve been having a difficult time trying to find things to keep my mind occupied while also not being able to focus on anything. I’ve seen this read-a-thon around before but never wanted to participate. Now it feels […]
HAPPENINGS OFF THE BLOG Hi everyone! Well, things have changed a lot since my last recap, haven’t they? For starters, I’ve barely been around the blog. Things have been overwhelming so I’ve just been trying to focus on keeping myself cool, calm, and collected. First things first, Kovu went to see his specialist this week […]
Hi, everyone! I’ve almost started this post more than once over the last few days but I’m never quite sure where to go. As we’re all very aware, the world is a bit nuts at the moment. I’m staying home except for to take my dog to his appointments, which he can’t miss – we’re […]
Today’s Topic: Spring 2020 TBR Happy Tuesday! This week is one of my favorite, easiest topics: a TBR list. I have to say, it took me a bit longer to find ten I was really excited for this time around. I’m not sure why, but spring feels a bit slower this year. Still, there are […]

HAPPENINGS OFF THE BLOG Hi everyone! I HAVE GOOD NEWS! Well, good(ish)? Kovu seems to be very much on the mend. He went to see his regular vet on Thursday for follow up blood work and x-rays. The x-rays showed a lot of improvement in his lungs and the blood work showed that, while his […]

Today’s Topic: Five Star Books With Single-Word Titles Happy Tuesday! This week I chose my top ten five star reads with single word titles! Not surprisingly they’re almost all fantasy and several are retellings! I almost feel like some of these are cheating since they’re clearly two words combined into one, but I’m fine with that! […]
In the last few years I have made an attempt to buy books from places other than Amazon for obvious reasons. I’ve tried making more trips to local bookstores. Unfortunately, my local options are Books a Million and a used paperback store that only seems to sell books from the 90s. Of course, I’ve often […]
HAPPENINGS OFF THE BLOG Hi everyone! Well, I’m here to report that this week was no less hectic than the last several. On Monday Kovu was acting weird (for him) and that night we ended up going to the ER. When I left at midnight they’d discovered an extremely high white blood cell count but […]
