New Blog Post – Telling My Story
Words and writing have always fascinated me. I read voraciously, as I’m sure you know already. However, it’s not only about escapism and entertainment. My relationship with language goes much deeper than that. I had been ignoring it for a long time. This month’s blog post is about finding my calling and following through.

Reading Recap: More March
This week brought us more March and another three books read. I got to the second of the four books of the Fae Isles series I’ll be reading this month. I then breezed through a short work from one of my favorite nonfiction writers. Finally, I topped that off with a wild romp in a…

Reading Recap: Marching On
This month is marching on at a solid pace. I’m beginning to feel hints of spring in the air. I suspect that soon I’ll be getting more of my reading done outdoors. I got a fair bit done this week. First off, I finished off the one I’d started last week. I then read through…

Reading Recap: March Has Started
March has started! I’m excited for it. I received a whole pile of advance reader copies (ARCs) of ebooks in February that I’ve been working my way through. I finished two of them last week and then picked up a title from a local author that’s been sitting in my TBR pile since December. It…

Reading Recap: One More Week of February
We’ve completed one more week of February, and we’ve got a little less than one more still to go before this month is over. I read two books this week while enjoying my daughter’s week-long break from school with her. It made for a great week. Both books were fantastic! 1. House of Night –…

Reading Recap: Halfway Through February
It’s tough to believe that we’re already halfway through February, but here we are. Just look at the calendar! This month has been flying by! Then again, so has my reading list. After finishing off what I’d started last week, I was just diving into the next one along with a 400-page beta read for…

Reading Recap: Into February
We’re now well into February on the second Monday of the shortest month. I got to spend a good chunk of time in the books this week with a couple of snowstorms rolling through my area. I love those days when I don’t need to be anywhere and I can simply dig in. This past…

Reading Recap: End of January
We’ve done it. We’ve officially reached the end of January! We’re now in the first few days of the second month of 2025. This past week, I read through two books. One was on the longer side and the other was much shorter – more of a novella or novelette than a full-length novel. Both…

Reading Recap: Somehow Still January
It’s already been another week, but somehow it is still January. I know it’s like this every year, but I still never expect January to drag on the way it always does. This is the time of year that New England weather is at its least hospitable, and there’s lots of illness going around. My…

Reading Recap: Still More January
We’ve reached the third Monday of 2025 already. That means I’m back to recap more January reading I’ve gotten done. This week I was pressed up against a deadline for some work projects, but still managed to sneak some good reading time in. I’ve now gotten everything submitted, and even moved all my bookish TikTok…

Reading Recap: Another Week in January
It’s hard to believe it’s already Monday again and we’ve completed another week in January 2025! This week really flew by for me. I don’t know if the rest of you felt that too? Because I also had an increase in my workload, I only had enough time to start and finish one book this…

Reading Recap: The New Year 2025
We are officially in the new year 2025! This week, I finished the last book that I’d started in 2024. I then picked up and subsequently completed my first full book of the year. I certainly started the year off on a high note with these two reads. One was a comfort read centered around…
