Hi y'all! I hope you are having a great week. It's suddenly decided to be winter in Texas, and we are not prepared for the cold. So we're mostly staying inside and trying to keep warm. Of course, staying in also offers plenty of reading time so I am off to a great start in …

[Treasure Island]: A Review
Happy Monday, my friends! Today I am excited to share my review of Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson. I read this as part of my Classics Club list at the end of 2018. This is a classic adventure story. There are pirates, a quest for treasure, and surprises along the way. It seems like …
Book Goals 2019!
Hi y'all! I've been thinking about my 2019 book goals for a few weeks now. When I described them to my husband last night, I called them "simple." And then he laughed. Perhaps, "simple" is the wrong word to describe them. But either way, I am excited to dive into these goals in 2019! 12 …

October Wrap-Up and November TBR
Happy November, my friends! I am so excited to be officially in November. Today it was actually brisk outside (we needed coats!) so I celebrated with homemade chili for dinner and I may have broken out the Christmas music a bit too. I love this time of year, and I love that it's finally starting …

[The Lord of the Rings]: A Review
Hi y'all! I am so excited to finally share my full review of The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien. This was on my reading goals for 2018 as a reread. I last read this series/book in my senior English course during my undergrad. It was an amazing class and the first …
