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 […]
Autumn has arrived here in New York, finally, and I am thrilled! September was a tough month for me, as I was dealing with (more) medical stuff and trying to get these issues addressed before we left for a vacation abroad. We ruled out a serious issue on […]
June felt like it was here and gone in a blink. I reconnected with an old friend and went to a couple of local fairs, and my youngest nephew graduated high school! So there was some more social stuff going on in June, meaning I didn’t have as […]
May went by so quickly, and it turned out to be such a full month. There were a lot of things going on in my life, so I wasn’t able to devote as much time to reading as I’d have liked. Audiobooks were hugely helpful when I didn’t […]
March feels like it went by quickly, and it was a hectic month. Since it was so busy, I didn’t get as much done reading-wise as I was hoping to, but I also had some fun celebrating Purim, a Jewish holiday. However, it also meant that Passover is […]

November went by really quickly, but the highlight was definitely getting together with my family and having a great meal and an even better time with the people I really care about last week. I’ve got a lot of things to be grateful for, and it was nice […]
It kind of feels like I was waiting for October to roll around for so long, and then it just flew past! I’m feeling much better, which is a bonus, and I got to focus on what I like to call ARCtober. It’s not exactly cold here yet, […]
I finished September with 14 ARCs left to be read. October, or ARCtober, as I like to think of it, was a smashing success. I’ve continued to reduce how many books I’ve requested, while reading as many ARCs as I could. In fact, I managed to halve my […]
