I AM A MARATHONER

Fair warning: this is probably going to end up getting crazy long and out of control and weirdly emotional for a race recap, because on Sunday, October 13, I became a marathoner. I RAN A MARATHON!!! THIS IS SUCH A WILD SENTENCE THAT I KIND OF NEVER THOUGHT I’D BE ABLE TO STATE AS FACT. …

Super Non-Book-Related Marathon Training Check-In!

Hello! Wow! It's been a while! It actually hasn't, it's only been like a month, but somehow the past month has felt both very long and very short at the same time. This post will have absolutely nothing to do with books, and everything to do with running, and I haven't done a running post …

It’s Summer: Overdue Reviews

Well, well, well, look who it is. (It's me, backlogged with six (6!) book reviews that have been piling up since May.) I feel like I don't even need to include "overdue" in my post titles anymore, it's always just safe to assume they're overdue. But that's okay! I'm working on it! Happy summer, everyone, …

Happy Spring: A Handful of Book Reviews

Hi friends! Can you believe it's May? I used to hate when people said that ("Can you believe it's already [insert month here]?!") because, like, of course I can believe it... time passes, days begin and end, and then 30 or so have gone by and it's a new month. But I don't know, April …

Some Books I Finished in March

Hey! Hi! Happy belated spring, and happy almost-April. I spend every day from basically November through March counting down the days to summer, so I'm pretty excited that it's feeling more imminent (even though I'm not sure where this winter went...) March has been a crazy month for me because I got a new job. I've …

(Most of) My February Books

Hi, hello and happy March! True to form, I’m behind and playing catch-up on my reviews but I’ve finished three books since I last posted, and I think I’m just going to review them all below. I was maybe going to split it up, but they are long overdue as it is, so let me …

First Book of 2019: The Luminaries by Eleanor Catton

Hi! Long time no talk! It's actually only been two weeks which is wild because I feel like a lot happened in that last half of January. But I have very exciting news, I finished book #1 of 2019! It was The Luminaries by Eleanor Catton, and I cannot even begin to describe how much I loved it. Saying …

2019!

Hi! 19 is my all-time favorite number. The New Year always represents a lot for me, but this year feels especially meaningful because 19 is my all-time favorite number. I’m kind of kidding, there’s more to it than that, but I can’t pretend I’m not a superstitious person who places a lot of meaning on …

Good Riddance, 2018: November & December Books

Man, 2018 was a year. I'm writing this two weeks into the new year, so my timing is all messed up and I apologize for the long delay on this recap. Anyway, I can't say I was sad to see 2018 ending, and not just because 19 is my favorite number, aka I have high …

Hello, Fall: September & October Books

Hi! Ah! This is late! Sorry. It's hard to believe there are only two months left in 2018. I still miss the summer, but I also have to admit that I kind of love all the seasons, so I'm adapting to the fall just fine. It's been a while since you've had a book post …
