State Of The ARC #43

I finished August with 32 ARCs left to be read.  Anyone else think that September was the longest and Mondayest month we’ve had in a while? It might just be me, but it felt like this month would never end. Maybe it was the fact that the weather […]

Monthly Wrap Up August 2024

August has been hot and humid here in New York, just like it has been basically everywhere. I’ve still been spending a lot of time inside the house, but lately I have had fatigue that is off the charts, combined with nighttime insomnia. It’s really difficult to function […]

State Of The ARC #42

I finished July with 35 ARCs left to be read.  August feels like it went by in the blink of an eye, didn’t it? My finances took a big hit, with my car needing an expensive repair, 3 of my dogs needing vet visits, then my car needing […]

July 2024 Monthly Wrap Up

July is over and we’re into August, which means we’re just a tiny bit closer to autumn starting and this oppressive heat breaking. It’s been really hot on Long Island, and there’s been air quality alerts most days. This isn’t the best kind of weather for asthmatics like […]

May 2024 Monthly Wrap Up

I had a minor surgery on my shoulder the first day of May, so I spent a lot of the month recovering. However, it did have the unexpected bonus of allowing me more time to get reading done. I did manage to get out of the house for […]

State Of The ARC #39

I finished April with 22 ARCs left to be read.  Hello June! While summer is my least favorite season, the month starts out strong with some nice celebrations in my family—a birthday and an anniversary, and I already know that my group of friends is going to plan […]

Monthly Wrap-Up April 2024

April was hectic for me. The weather was gross, with windy rainstorms for so much of the month, and on top of that, we had the kitchen redone. It was spur of the moment, so a lot of the month was spent wondering where things were and just […]
