Four books I loved in 2025.
Some favorites for 2025
Reading Roundup: Summer/Fall 2024
All the books I read in the second half of 2024.
Reading Round-up: Spring 2024
I've read a ton since the baby was born, mostly because there's not a lot else to do while nursing. Here's a brief spring list, much delayed due to the difficulty finding computer time not otherwise allocated for keeping the family fed. Summer list to follow, fear not, but I thought I'd break things down... Continue Reading →
Reading Round-up: Maternity Edition
As you might imagine, I read a lot of books at the end of 2023/beginning of 2024 while I was on maternity leave and I had very little time to talk about them, so I will attempt to do a quick and dirty round-up of everything at last now that I'm somewhat more functional in... Continue Reading →
2023 Halloween Reading Round-up!
I love Halloween. This year I have been doing a delightful marathon of spooky reads in anticipation of the holiday, so if you're looking for the perfect thing to get you in a Halloween mood, look no further! And speaking of looking no further -- if you're in Roanoke on the 28th (tomorrow) come on... Continue Reading →
Summer 2023 Reading Round-up
I haven't posted one of these since May! This is in part because I went through a reading slump, which evolved into me re-reading a bunch of books for comfort. I can't say that won't happen again! But for now, here's the list of lovely books I did read for the first time over the... Continue Reading →
Where Echoes Die: ARC Review
This week, a special review post! I received the ARC of Where Echoes Die by Courtney Gould through NetGalley. The premise sounded interesting, and the publisher in question also published Wake the Bones, which I really enjoyed. Where Echoes Die is the story of Beck who has recently lost her mother to cancer. In the... Continue Reading →
Reading Round-up: April/May 2023
And we're back for another round-up! I'm so glad to be reading again, folks. Life is a little chaotic, mostly good -- I'm sure that surprises no one, except for maybe the "good" part, since chaos seems to be the name of the game. I will have some big announcements at some point this year!... Continue Reading →
Reading Round-up: February/March 2023
Whenever I am up against a deadline my reading suffers, and the past couple of months have been no exception. Preparing for the Marquee in Verse project, in which I classically overcommitted (Two public events? A week apart? What was I thinking?), is taking all of my time and emotional energy. That said, I did... Continue Reading →
Reading Round-up: January 2023
Wow, can you believe it! It's 2023 already! And the end of January at that! We are 1/12th of the way through the year and my brain does not compute. I was in a bit of a reading slump this month, not for any reason except that I spent a good chunk of the beginning... Continue Reading →
