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…

green all around
✨️📗A Very Green St Patrick’s Day📗✨️ I recently finished Book 2 of War and Peace, so I’m now taking a break with Jenny Colgan’s Bookshop on the Corner. And I love that my current read matches today’s holiday. I rarely do stuff like that (or check on it) so that elevated my mood a little…

saturday morning musings
Word vomit post Happy Saturday and yay for shitty pictures I am back to reading War and Peace with my big love muffin (and oh, is she big; and sometimes I curse her out for dragging me. The mug greatly describes her at times. But she’s doing a wonderful job of protecting her livestock babies.)…

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…

a lottery farm and bookstore
What would you do if you won the lottery? Start my Barnes & Noble empire. And buy a bigger farm. I’d kickstart those two businesses, kick some ass, and see where I can go from there. Go big but not too big because the government will need its cut. Logistically, maybe I’d first start the…

leisure time means reading
What do you enjoy doing most in your leisure time? Reading, of course. It provides so much possibility. I can leisurely spend anywhere from $0 to $30 to travel, learn, look at the world from a different perspective, gain insight, and think of the most supernatural events and creatures.

Christmas books
Christmas books during christmastime just give the world a little more of a twinkle, they instill a little more hope in people’s hearts. Show people a little extra love this season ♡ the world has thrown people into unexpected situations and flipped some people’s worlds upside down. (That doesn’t mean let people take advantage of…

This past November gave me some reading all over the genre spectrum. I read 8 books, 2 of which were nonfiction, and including the number of pages in my current reads, my month totaled at 2,337 pages. Which is just 120 pages shy of my reading in November 2022. My average book length was 262…
