4 years ago today…
I was just getting into A Game of Thrones 4 years ago today. How time flies – I’ve loved and hated some ASOIAF characters, loved and then hated certain seasons of the show, and read so many other books since then. Thank you to George R.R. Martin for rekindling my love of reading. Read on.

Fire & Blood by George R.R Martin
Fire & Blood by George RR Martin A Targaryen History #1 In honor of starting House of the Dragon today and going back to Westeros (and not having any other reviews ready), I thought this would be great to post. Also, this is long due to be posted since I finished Fire & Blood in…

fun little reading life facts
A friend on bookstagram tagged me in a challenge there, so I figured I might as well post it here too. I do really enjoy some of the friendships I’ve made since starting my instagram about books, even though I complain about the social media platform all the time. Some of the people are so…

primary color books
Random tags like this on instagram are fun – I love making friends on there. And I also love that looking for a yellow book brought A Brief History of Seven Killings back onto my radar. I was going to try reading it some time last year but got distracted, as I constantly do being…

Late birthday book haul 📚💖🎉 Thank you to my generous, amazing siblings for getting me the books I desperately wanted (like a child) for my birthday. I don’t love doing gifts anymore as an adult, so when I try to tell my friends and family that I don’t want something and they insist on getting…

vacation reading
I was totally feeling a travel memoir to start before going on vacation. Being in the woods always makes me stop more often and look at what’s around me. It makes me think and ponder about life, identity. My reading during vacation has varied since I started fucking off to the woods. Before I started…

June Wrap-up
📚June Wrap-up📚 A good reading month for me, but not the best since I’ve been so busy with our new pup. Maybe once he’s a little older I’ll have more time to read. Hopefully, because staying up at night and being more sleep deprived is not the best way to get my reading in. My…

read slowly
Read slowly, enjoy the moments in front of you – this is my current mantra. I’ve been reading this book for a few days – I’m on page 55, whereas just a couple weeks ago I’d have read those first 55 pages the night I opened the book. I’m reading much slower than I have…
