October 2024 Wrap Up
I feel like my blog is just wrap-ups lately, butā€¦ it is what it is, I guess. I just havenā€™t been reading as much or as into the bookish things lately, mostly due to my getting out of the house and working on my photography. Itā€™s not a bad thing, but I donā€™t want to end up abandoning this blog either. I love the bookish community and want to still be a part of it, I just probably wonā€™t be asā€¦

Review: Four Eyes
Sixth grade isnā€™t as great as Rex thought it would be. Heā€™s the only kid who hasnā€™t had a growth spurt, and the bullies wonā€™t let him forget it. His closest friend is unreliable, at best. And thereā€™s a cute girl in his class, who may or may not like him back. With so much going on, everything is a blur ā€” including Rexā€™s vision! So when he discovers that he needs glasses, and his family can onlyā€¦

Alternative Careers
Daily writing promptWhat alternative career paths have you considered or are interested in?View all responses Iā€™ve mentioned, probably too many times, that Iā€™m a librarian. Thatā€™s pretty fitting for someone who has a book blog, right? I started off volunteering at the library, eventually was hired as a circulation assistant, got my MLIS, and now Iā€™m a Library Director. While I have absolutelyā€¦

September 2024 Wrap Up
Iā€™m so late posting this, but here we are. First of all, I didnā€™t even touch a book until after halfway through the month ā€“ thatā€™s how bad this slump is. I did manage to read a couple of books close to the end of the month, though, and they were all good ones. I did share my haul from my vacation, so those are some books Iā€™m looking forward to reading, and maybe Iā€™ll get back on track with myā€¦

Vermont 2024 Book Haul
Last week I took a much needed vacation, which was just a short getaway to Stowe, Vermont for a few nights. Nothing fancy. Just getting out of state and as far from work as I could within reason. The first full day we were there, we went to Burlington which is home to at least three bookstore (that I know of), two of which are on the infamous Church Street Marketplace. And, of course, on the wayā€¦

August 2024 Wrap Up
I started off so strong in the first two weeks of August, and then it just all came crashing down. I think some work stress has just gotten to me real bad, which I really donā€™t understand because itā€™s not that bad. But nearly every day I just feel like this job is a prison sentence. Maybe itā€™s depression tooā€¦ since Iā€™m not really interested in reading or much else that I enjoy lately. Whateverā€¦

July 2024 Wrap Up
July was a really good month for reading! I read seven books (the most in a month Iā€™ve read this year) and I enjoyed every book! I even read books for two book clubs! I had a great time going to both meetings (well, one I worked) and the discussions were great. The books for the clubs were The Giver and Nineteen Minutes. It was really interesting reading The Giver because Iā€™d read it a millionā€¦

Ten Debut Novels I Loved
This weekā€™s prompt is fun, which is ā€œDebut Novels I Enjoyedā€ though Iā€™m taking it a step further and using the ā€œLā€ word, haha. My list isnā€™t in any particular order of which ones I liked the best, because that would just make this prompt harder. So this is just a plain list of ten debut novels I really loved and made me want to read more of the authorsā€™ work, or wait (impatiently) for theirā€¦

Review: Hearts Overboard
After a very public breakup where her ex, Caleb, told her she is both, a.) boring, and b.) stuck in her ways, Savannah Moore decides her momā€™s company cruise to Alaska is the perfect opportunity to show people that she can be fun. One new thing a day should be enough to prove to others, and herself, that she isnā€™t ā€œMoore the Bore.ā€Stepping out of her comfort zone isnā€™t easy, especially since herā€¦

Ten Things I Loved About This Lullaby
Itā€™s been a while since Iā€™ve done a Top Ten Tuesday prompt, and this one was an immediate ā€œyes, I want to do this one!ā€ from me. However, I did have a hard time finding a book that wasnā€™t a popular one or from a well-loved series. So I went with a book that occasionally reenters my mind at random timesā€¦ This Lullaby by Sarah Dessen. Whatā€™s funny about this one is that I didnā€™t love it right awayā€¦

June 2024 Wrap Up
Iā€™m posting this later than I wanted to, but you know, life happens. The good news is that Iā€™m finally out of a reading slump! I mean, Iā€™m not reading an average of 10 books a month like I was last year, but thatā€™s okay. Itā€™s not a race. Anyway, hereā€™s my June 2024 Wrap Up! The French Ingredient ā€“ Jane Bertch āœ°āœ°āœ°āœ° Invisible ā€“ Christina Diaz Gonzalez āœ°āœ°āœ°āœ°āœ° The Titanic Survivorā€™s Book Club ā€“ā€¦

Throwback Three: June 2024
Soā€¦ I am now realizing that I missed doing this for May, which is fine. I was a little busy taking photos and recovering from a long political battle at work (which is a library, so why are politics even involved? Good question.) I havenā€™t really been writing posts on a regular basis here, which is for a number of reasons. One of them being that Iā€™m a little burnt-out with book blogging. I mean,ā€¦
