sundays are for shit pics
Such a beautiful Sunday where I keep making excuses to be outside. So here’s a pic of my most recent library “haul” outside. I’m pretty proud of myself that I only got two more books than I had planned on when going to my library for the first time since December. I went for the…

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…

green all around

finding old treasures and current reads
You find the most interesting things when buying old books. Especially when you’re buying whole lots. There’s so much to learn out there in the world, so many books out of print. Yet, if there are only corporations that invest in only the shiny and pretty new releases, how are we to ever learn from…

january 2024 wrapup
My Greatest Reading Month So Far January of 2024 set a great precedent for my reading life. I read 8 books, which seems to be my average monthly amount. But the great aspect of this month was that I read 3,490 pages. I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to read as much as…

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.
