Goals 2025
**Note: I’m doing some blog maintenance. This is a backdated post (I don’t know if it’ll go into anyone’s feed readers – you can ignore it if so!). I’ve moved my goals info from my primary Goals Page to this … Continue reading →
Sunday Coffee – Readathon-ish
I haven’t participated in a Readathon on quite a long time. The last time I tried was spring of 2018, and I realized throughout that I’m just not cut out for a hyper-focus reading day anymore. Since then, I’ve periodically … Continue reading →

RIP XVII
It is beyond astonishing to me that the Readers Imbibing Peril reading event is in its 17th year!! Things have changed a lot since the early days, but despite that, this is still one of the reading events that I … Continue reading →
Updated Goals for 2022
With my current 2022 goals mostly in shambles, I’ve decided to update them for the second half of 2022. Physical Health Complications, side effects, and new medical conditions made former goals unachievable in the time remaining, so I’ve scrapped them … Continue reading →
Books on My Rest-of-2022 TBR Pile
Every year, I make a list of books to read or cull throughout that year, a list of book priorities, so to speak. They consist both of books that will be published during the year that I’m really looking forward … Continue reading →
Sunday Coffee – To Move or Not to Move
This is a decision that’s been weighing on my mind. The last time we moved back to Texas, I swore we would never leave again, but so much has changed and I’m struggling to determine the best course of action. … Continue reading →
