I’m Starting to Worry About This Black Box of Doom by Jason Pargin
If you watch my videos regularly, there’s a good chance you’ve noticed this one sitting very near the top of my TBR pile. The neon green of the cover is hard to miss. I picked this up back in February when filming my video on Newtonville Books in Newton, MA. It’s been “next up” in…

Weekly Reading Recap: July 7, 2025
We’ve reached July 7, and that means we’ve made it through the first week of a new month! Summer is always far busier than I expect it to be, but I’m still getting some good reading done. I finished off the book I’d started last week then dove directly into its sequel. The latter will…

Weekly Reading Recap: June 30, 2025
It’s June 30, the last day of the month. Summer is fully underway and it has been hot. I’ve gotten to spend some time reading in the shade while my daughter splashes in her pool. I’ll admit there’s also been some hiding in the air conditioned spaces with books too. This week I read through…

Weekly Reading Recap: June 9, 2025
The first full week of June is complete and we’ve reached June 9. Excluding audiobooks, beta reads, and my daughter’s storytime, I actually only read one book this week. That’s a first since I started my weekly series! My only sister’s wedding to her partner of 12 years took priority over my usual reading time,…

A new month is upon us! We’ve reached June 2, the first Monday of the new month. This week, I got to two ARCs (advance reader copies) that I’ve really been looking forward to. The first was a sequel to a book I had a lot of fun with. The second had a synopsis I…
