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 […]
I always love the fresh start of a new year, with all the different lines of possibility open to me and everything in store. My reading habits are back on the upswing, so hopefully that weird little funk is behind me, and I can continue on with the […]
I finished September with 26 ARCs left to be read. October was a busy month, and I knew it was going to be. I went on vacation for 9 days at the start of the month, and that was fun, but as soon as I returned, it was […]

I finished June with 20 ARCs left to be read. Devoting time to ARCs is now becoming a habit each month, and while I’m still getting approved for a bunch, I’m finding myself requesting less (but not fully on a requesting ban). It’s very heartening to see progress […]
