It started with high hopes and unrealistic New Year goals. But things aren’t looking great – and although it’s only mid-year, I think it’s time to accept my to-be-read pile, will not-be-read. I blame it on the cat book. “I am a Cat” by Soseki sounded like such a great idea to start off the…

You guys… I did not reach my reading goal of 30 books last year. And it wasn’t like I was off by 1 or 2 books, I only read 18 books. With that said, it was still 18 books. I shouldn’t shame myself too much. I actually have a good reason why my nose was…

In war, the Devil serves you wine. Read Review Below Rating: ★★★ So, funny thing. A week after I read this book, I was folding my laundry in the bedroom. I was facing my bedroom door when I heard a distinct female voice behind me whisper, “Nooooooooo”. I jumped in a panic calling out…

I’m trying to be more consistent with my daily walks, which means I have to have purpose for those walks. Yes, as Arnold actually suggests in this book, I can use my walking…

Every year, this is one of my favorite posts. I love sharing books I’ve read and truly enjoyed, in the hopes that someone will take up a read and adore it just as much. I have no pattern and,I don’t keep up with the newest and best-selling novels. I choose based on the mood I’m…

A how-to-guide in curbing your social media addiction. Read Review Below Rating: ★★★ Deleting my Facebook account was one of the most paramount decisions I’ve made in the last decade. At the same time, it wasn’t at all. My hesitations stemmed from what I’m sure others are also scared of: losing that connection with family…

Curiosity + Persistence = Goals Read Review Below Rating: ★★★★★ I swear with every book I have read this year I realize just how naïve I actually am. When I was reading “Educated”, I realized at some point that author, Tara Westover, is my age. Which means all these events that happened in her life,…
