I’ve somehow never read any of V.E. Schwab’s books, and I consider myself to be a constant reader who loves fantasy. Vicious served as a nice introduction to her work. Alternating between the book’s present-day and flashbacks throughout various characters’ lives, the plot moved along quickly […]
What an absolute delight! I just texted my sister to recommend Greenteeth to her. I wrote, “It’s an old school fantasy/fairy tale. It felt a little retro in a time when fantasies are either urban fantasies or sprawling epics with 50,000 characters and entire magic/religion/political systems […]
4 Stars. John Wesley Powell caught my attention when my husband and I visited the Grand Canyon in 2013. I would periodically think that I should read a book about him and then I would forget about it. When we visited Lake Powell and Horseshoe Canyon in Page, AZ a few months ago, I decided that it […]
4 Stars. I dinged book two of this series for being a little too reminiscent of Harry Potter. I still see direct parallels between a lot of the plot points in this book and The Wizarding World but I must not have cared as much this time around. It’s been two years since I listened to Amari and the Great […]

We did go down to Clearwater for a long walk on the beach on Saturday and it was so nice to soak up the warmth and sunshine! I always tell myself that I have more than enough seashells but I bring a […]
This post may be too detailed for all of you, but I enjoy taking a deep dive into my reading trends each year. I also like sharing favorite books from various genres that might not make it into my “Top Ten Books of the Year” post. This is always long so bear with me as I review my 2025 reading by […]
Welcome to my weekly update for January 11, 2026! My husband finished up his work contract in Georgia just before Christmas so we spent two weeks with our families. He started his next work assignment this week just north of Tampa. We are enjoying these Florida temperatures! North Georgia has fairly […]
