HAPPENINGS OFF THE BLOG Hi, everyone! Three posts in a week! Who even am I anymore? This week has been blissfully uneventful. My husband and I went to look at RVs although I doubt there is one in our near future. It would be such a fun thing to have though! I also made my […]

HAPPENINGS OFF THE BLOG Hi, everyone! Look, a post! This week hasn’t been stressful, I’ve just been trying to relax and get back into the normal groove of things now that it seems like things MIGHT be calming down. I binged some (bad) reality TV, listened to some podcasts, played Animal Crossing with my brother, […]
HAPPENINGS OFF THE BLOG Hi, everyone! The last couple of weeks have been a little hectic, but I feel like I’m MAYBE going to be settling in for a bit of quiet now. Two weeks ago I drove up to North Carolina to spend time with my brother and help my mom out a bit […]
Heyyyy look! My first discussion post since *checks notes* March! Let’s do this! I’ve always liked to think that I don’t have guilty pleasure reads, but the last few months have taught me that I absolutely do. It isn’t necessarily that I feel embarrassed about reading them, although that is sometimes the case. Most of […]
Today’s Topic: Top Ten Books I Loved but Haven’t Reviewed Happy Tuesday! I decided to use today’s topic to share all the books I’ve given 4+ stars so far in 2020 but haven’t gotten around to reviewing. As everyone is well aware, this year has been a complete mess.

HAPPENINGS OFF THE BLOG Hello again after a week of no posts. This has been a hectic week of constant communication with my family as we all get through my brother’s injury that I summed up last week. We have many more answers now and, three surgeries later, his leg is back together. He’s still […]
HAPPENINGS OFF THE BLOG 2020 blows. As I write this my brother is being prepped for surgery after he fell somewhere between 20 and 35 feet while rock climbing. He landed on his right foot and shattered multiple bones, although we really haven’t gotten many answers yet. Hopefully by the time this is read we […]
Happy Saturday, everyone! It has been A WHILE since I’ve done one of these. Before you judge me, keep in mind this is a roundup of everything I’ve watched since March and we’ve been in quarantine. So I don’t want to hear it. Since there are SO many, I’m only going to talk about the […]
Hi everyone! Because I’ve been so MIA lately, I completely missed posting my summer TBR for Top Ten Tuesday. Since I love these lists so much I decided I’m just going to post it now anyway! I’ve been reading a lot more backlist books since the pandemic began, or at least fewer ARCs and new […]
HAPPENINGS OFF THE BLOG Hi, everyone! I’m back after some much needed time away to process everything that’s happened. For the last few weeks I’ve been watching reality TV and DNFing books, but I’m staying busy, so I guess that’s what matters. I did get a sewing machine this week! Hurray! Now I just have […]
This week’s topic: What are the top books on your TBR pile? Happy Friday, bookworms! This week I’m back to participating in Book Blogger Hop hosted by Coffee Addicted Writer. I have to get back into the swing of things somehow, so a meme seemed in order. Now, onto this week’s topic. How am I supposed […]

Thank goodness 2020 is halfway over. I don’t think I’ve ever felt this way about time moving by, but I can’t wait to be in 2021. Alas, no one is here to hear me complain about how awful this year has been. Let’s get to the books! BEST BOOK YOU’VE READ IN 2020 I couldn’t […]
HAPPENINGS OFF THE BLOG Hi, everyone! Look at me, going two weeks without a recap post. Let’s just dive right into the Kovu update, shall we? The last few weeks have been A LOT. First, Kovu’s pneumonia was getting worse by the day. We did a full body CT scan and a tracheal wash so […]

HAPPENINGS OFF THE BLOG Well, this week has been a mess, hasn’t it? Every time it seems like 2020 can’t possibly get worse, it goes and proves us wrong. I’m unable to attend protests at the moment, but there are other ways to help. If you have the means, you can donate to the Minnesota […]
