my 2024 reading unwrapped
2024. A wild ride of less in quantifiable reading but more in appreciation of the time dedicated to reading.I read 50 books this year, not meeting my normal personal goal of surpassing the former year’s number of books read. But, I still read most days and I think with the major changes to my lifestyle,…

tbr stack from a wholesale lot
Only two of these books were on my radar before. And the rest of them? They just looked too interesting to sell before diving into them myself. Even if that means they’ll sit in the house for at least a year before I crack them open. I found such interesting books at my favorite bookstore…

reading on the homestead
Why do I never post anymore? Short answer: homesteading is taking so much out of me. Long answer: what little time I do have to myself in the wee hours is spent reading 5 pages. And sometimes, 5 pages is the only amount that I can get in. If that. It makes my little reading…

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.)…

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…

meritocracy

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…

keep reading harry potter
Wednesday POV: family cuddle to warm up and you’re reading Harry Potter because you’re sick of seeing people tell other people not to read it. Stop shaming other people for what they’re reading. Mind your own fucking business. Stop telling people how to speak or what they should talk about or post on social media.…

fight the “bluest monday”
My blue current read for multiple reasons… Because it’s apparently the Bluest Monday of the year. But if you’ve read this far into this post, beat that shit. Go outside. Read. Don’t let these posts that are saying it’s the most depressive day of the year actually let it be that. Fight it. I see…

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…
