Happy Wednesday, my friends! I am honored and a bit overwhelmed at the prospect of sharing my thoughts on Mere Christianity by C. S. Lewis. It seems wrong to call this a "review" in the traditional sense of the word. It's not something I feel qualified to critique; instead, I would say this is more …

[Little Dorrit]: A Small Review
Hi y'all! I am thrilled to be (finally) sharing my full review of Little Dorrit by Charles Dickens. If you recall, this is my "big" classic for the year (just under 1000 pages), and I was surprised how quickly I was able to finish it. My shorter reviews of the different sections of the novel …
[Little Dorrit, Parts 3 & 4]: A Review
Good afternoon, fellow bookworms! SURPRISE! I overshot my goal of getting to the 75% mark of Little Dorrit by Charles Dickens and ended up finishing the full novel at the end of June. I just got captured by the language and the characters and the plot. I had to see how it all came together …
[Little Dorrit, Part 2]: A Review
Happy Monday, my friends! I hope you had a fun weekend. We are back to our routines today and recovering from a busy, fun week. I'm so behind on reviews again (what is it about reviews that makes them easy to get behind on?) So here I am starting the long climb. I am excited …

January Wrap-Up and February TBR
Can you believe we are already into February, my friends? I can't! February is one of my favorite months mostly because my birthday is this weekend and I've always loved my birthday 🙂 January started the year off well. Right on schedule with my goal to read 50 total books and enjoying what I've read …
[Les Miserables]: A Small Review
I am finally feeling more capable of writing a few thoughts about Les Miserables by Victor Hugo. I love this book. I am in awe of this book. I am still a little intimidated by it. And I hope I can make sense of my jumbled thoughts. First, this novel is incredible in scope, fascinating …
