Harry Potter and David Goggins are personal must-rereads
What book could you read over and over again? I’ve reread Harry Potter as much as possible since I opened the first book for the second time. Now, I don’t reread other books as much. I reread Can’t Hurt Me by David Goggins once. I’ll probably reread that again. I’d like to reread A Song…

fuck the govt, but congrats, you made me stronger
How have you adapted to the changes brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic? The covid pandemic, though utterly unnecessary and absolutely insane, forced me to become stronger and better than I ever was. I’m in great shape physically. I had used the lockdown to hone my exercise discipline. I have been working out pretty consistently…

mornings on the reading homestead
What are your morning rituals? What does the first hour of your day look like? Mornings around here have changed drastically in the last few months. They generally vary as well, there’s really no morning that goes the same around here. And this is for either me or both my husband and I, depending if…

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…

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…

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.

meritocracy
If you could un-invent something, what would it be? DEI industrial complex. Instead of focusing on meritocracy, Western society and culture have focused on making sure people’s feelings aren’t hurt. This has led us down a horrible path of unnecessary destruction, deaths, increased crime, societal division, higher rates of mental illness, and especially the demise…

snacks make reading a full experience
What snack would you eat right now? I’ve been so into baking lately – baking more if there’s something that I’ve really wanted to buy while out and just to practice different recipes. A few days ago I made pumpkin cream cheese muffins, and I would definitely smash another batch of those if I had…

my bookstore
Come up with a crazy business idea. I’ve started a crazy business (very, very slowly). A used bookstore that resells popular used books, authors that you’ve heard of before, and additionally books that you’ve never heard of before and seem like quite a challenge to resell. Those strange books may be repurposed for decor or…
