Hi Ya’ll! I’m back from my summer break and ready to jump back into the swing of things. As an academic, Fall always gives me a jolt of inspiration. So starting again in September is not so bad after a busy summer full of family and fun. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been reading all […]
As the Springtime hustle and bustle opens up to hopefully more relaxing days in summer, I relied mostly on audiobooks this month. My May Reading Wrap-Up consisted on seven audiobooks, one ebook and two print books. I also read equal parts fiction and nonfiction. A few of the books I read have been on my […]
May is a beautiful month for reading outside. Flowers are in bloom, but the mosquitos aren’t out yet. When I’m trying to accomplish my May Reading Goals, I always try to get a few outdoor reading sessions in before it gets too hot. This month I have a mixed TBR of fantasy/sci-fi and contemporary fiction. […]
Lately, audiobooks have seemed to be the best way for me to read. This month I finished listening to four and I have a few more I’m still working on. I even used one to keep reading when I had to change locations. I tend to stick to non-fiction with audiobooks as a preference. But […]
Here are 10 books by Black women environmentalists to check out in honor of Earth Day. The first three are on my current TBR list and/or are currently reading. I also did some research and pulled up some additional titles that might peak your interest if you want to engage more with the topic. I’ll be […]
Before I began book blogging, my main hobby was gardening. Over the years I have evolved from a tomato-only small plot gardener to a I’ll-try-almost-any-veggie-once kitchen gardener. I’ve tried square-foot gardening and plant-what-you-want-wherever-you-want gardening. I’ve rotated veggies and I’ve also kept them in the same space and refreshed the soil. It’s a fun hobby that […]
I love April, because it’s such an interesting convergence of weather. It finally starts to get warm and sunny, but the unpredictable rain showers can change your plans at any minute. And as a reader rain means D.E.A.R (Drop Everything and Read) time and a boost to my April Reading Hopefuls! In honor of National […]
This March I embraced my mood reader tendencies and enjoyed the freedom of spontaneous choice. I read multiple genres on different subjects using different mediums. I definitely enjoyed myself! Towards the end of the month I looked up and realized that I had read way more than I thought I had. So that made me […]
Mood reading seems to be the theme that has started my month of March Madness. So I’m going to keep this post short. Essentially, I don’t really have a pull towards any particular set of books right now. But I keep coming across interesting books that I hadn’t thought about in a while that I […]
February was a short, but busy month. Between my birthday and other things going on I didn’t finish as many books as I would have liked. I actually spent a good chunk of time setting up my reading journal for the year. So I’m happy about that and will hopefully share more in future posts. […]
