march’s slow reading wrapup
📚March Wrap-up📚 My sad lack of reading for March included My reading in March was so slow, the slowest that it’s been since I permanently left the research world. I barely had time to read this month and appreciate the time that I did have to read even more. And I may take this first…

saying no to the phone and reading update
How often do you say “no” to things that would interfere with your goals? Not enough. This mainly persists in my random scrolling and checking notifications. While I mean well for myself when opening apps, it can turn into anywhere from a mere 5 minutes to an hour of bullshit that could have been spent…

selling points of used books in today’s economy
☆Happy Thursday☆ As a bookseller, what is the value that I see in these books? At this time in the country, people can’t afford as much as they were able to a few years ago. They need to save money, they’re looking to save anywhere that they can. Used books at a lower cost not…

sunday musings with a shelfie
I was messing around with my Stephen King books for a minute. I think I may copy a friend’s [on bookstagram] idea of how to tackle War and Peace by taking breaks between each book. And I haven’t read any King since August, so I think a King break in a couple hundred pages of…

patriotism
Are you patriotic? What does being patriotic mean to you? Yes. It means putting my country first and not allowing socialism to take root. It means voting but also taking a firm stand in what I believe in and speaking up when things are not going the way this country was founded upon. It means…
