My life is going through some big changes right now. But at least I've been reading. So here's what's been on my shelf. As usual, I've been reading a mix of nonfiction, fantasy, and sci-fi. I've been mostly into nonfiction recently because it's been keeping me grounded. What Happened to You? is an amazing book … Continue reading At least I read

Philosophy and space kittens (spoilers below for A Desolation Called Peace)
In January, I read A Memory Called Empire by Arkady Martine. I actually really enjoyed it. (In fact, my new fave fantasy/sci-fi subgenre might be space operas...) So far, the sequel in the duology, A Desolation Called Peace, has delivered. March has been a significantly slower month as far as reading goes. Something's happening in … Continue reading Philosophy and space kittens (spoilers below for A Desolation Called Peace)
What I read in February – a hodge-podge
New Adult Fantasy Romance The fourth book in the A Court of Thorns and Roses series was released in February, and to be honest, the books I read towards the beginning of the month were placeholders as I waited for my hardcover copy of A Court of Silver Flames. I also finished my re-read of … Continue reading What I read in February – a hodge-podge
Fear and guilt and why I read
As we near the end of 2020, this is the time I can look back and catalog in my mind my experience with reading this year. Without a doubt, a pandemic will naturally give some more time to read, and that's what happened to me. We are not super extroverted social people in the first … Continue reading Fear and guilt and why I read
One reason why epic fantasy is epic
In every story, there's a baddie. A villain. And in an epic fantasy story, it's a "dark one" or "evil one" who's been around for a long time. They're usually thousands of years old and have a secret to immortality. No one thinks that the villian can ever be overthrown, or overpowered, or killed, or … Continue reading One reason why epic fantasy is epic
November Reads & December TBR
Knowing that I did not stick with my planned to-be-read list for November, I'm giving myself some leeway for December. Here are my TBRs: In November, I read 5 books, almost 6 if you count the overlap of my first foray into the Cosmere of Brandon Sanderson: Mistborn: The Final Empire. One book that I … Continue reading November Reads & December TBR
November TBR Update
Looks at calendar. Um, what? It's the middle of November already? A little unbelievable if you ask me. So far this month, I've read three books, two of which I had planned on reading and one that I kind of planned on reading, but then actually did, thanks to the library's grab-and-go curbside service. And … Continue reading November TBR Update
What happens when you read fiction or fantasy
Like I've mentioned before on this blog, I haven't always been a big reader. I've always aspired to be a big reader, maybe even faking it once or twice, but never like my sister. Or my mom. Or even some of the kids in my family. Truth be told, up until a couple years ago, … Continue reading What happens when you read fiction or fantasy
November TBR
Guys, at the time I'm writing this post, I just finished my 56th book of 2020. I cannot believe it, honestly. I started reading again as a habit back in 2017, and solidified my habit through my local library's Winter Reading challenge (5 books from December to March). I started my rekindled relationship with reading … Continue reading November TBR
