Hello W@nderers, It’s been a minute since I last posted on here, hasn’t it? 2020 was a hard year for all of us and I feel like, for the most part, I was coping fairly well- all things considered. Then in October I lost a family member and everything in my life just… came toContinue reading “2020 Wrap Up: It’s Been a Minute…”

September Book Wrap Up!
September is one of my favorite months of the year. Not only is it my birth month, but it’s also the bridge between summer and fall. Leaves start to change colors, a cooler breeze blows through that smells of rain and makes you feel like getting cozy under a blanket, and the sun is stillContinue reading “September Book Wrap Up!”

Hello! It is finally time to chat about books again! Unfortunately this post is a couple weeks late.

I read someContinue reading “August 2020 Book Wrap Up!”

July 2020 Book Wrap Up!
After a short, shaky start, I’ve had a wonderful and summery reading month with not one, not two, but three 5 star reads! That was such a relief. It’s still a bit hard for me to become absorbed in a new book- to check out from daily life for an hour at a time orContinue reading “July 2020 Book Wrap Up!”
Me by Elton John
This. Was. Brilliant. In his only official autobiography, music icon Elton John writes about his extraordinary life, which is also the subject of the film Rocketman.

By the Book: A Novel of Prose and Cons by Amanda Sellet
SMDH… I really wanted to like this book. Honestly, though, it wasn’t you, Book, it was me. I just was not in the head space for this. As a devotee of classic novels, Mary Porter-Malcolm knows all about Mistakes That Have Been Made, especially by impressionable young women. So when a girl at her newContinue reading “By the Book: A Novel of Prose and Cons by Amanda Sellet”
June 2020 Book Wrap Up!
Oy. June came, and it went, and it was… June. In the midst of everything else going on in the world, I sort of lost my reading momentum. It’s so hard to hide in a book when real life is too much. How ironic is that? Typically I do exactly that- hide in a bookContinue reading “June 2020 Book Wrap Up!”
May 2020 Book Wrap Up!
Does time have no meaning? Is it just an illusion? I feel like just yesterday we were all making Justin Timberlake May memes, but now I can barely believe we are nearing July. And yet, it feels like a year has passed. The events that came to a head over the last few weeks haveContinue reading “May 2020 Book Wrap Up!”
Bone Crier’s Moon by Kathryn Purdie
Bone Crier’s Moon came into my life by way of Owlcrate, as many of the most beautiful books in my collection do, and this one was no different. The custom cover and sprayed page edges were gorgeous, as was the entire theme of the box, Full Moon Magic. Bone Criers have a sacred duty. TheyContinue reading “Bone Crier’s Moon by Kathryn Purdie”
