10 Things Vol. 2

I don’t love posting two of the same type of posts in row, but since it’s been a few weeks and a lot has happened, it seemed like another 10 Things post was the best way to catch up with everyone! 1) WE GOT A HOUSE!  We’ve been pretty intensely searching for

10 Things Vol. 1

I decided to try something new this week since we’re in the final week and a half of packing up our apartment before the big move and I haven’t kept up on news stories at all.  So today I’m going to be sharing a kind of stream of consciousness post

Best TV Shows & Movies of 2021

Talk about late to the game! I still haven’t posted my top books of 2021 yet either but I decided to kick things off with TV and movies. I’m sticking to new-to-me viewings (otherwise you would see Star Wars and Lord of the Rings on every single one of my

I can’t believe it took me until April to put together my best of 2021 book list, but here we are.  Better late than never, right?  In no surprise, the bulk of my list consists of fantasy books though I do have a couple of romance, thriller and non-fiction picks

The Bright Side Vol. 9

It’s been another crazy week here between making Home Depot runs for moving boxes, beginning to pack up my books (tear) and letting strangers into our apartment to view and potentially rent it after we leave at the end of the month.  Andrew has been under the weather for most

March Book Haul | 2022

This was a BIG month for book purchasing for me.  Mostly because I sprung for an eBay listing for the FairyLoot special editions of Chain of Gold and Chain of Iron by Cassandra Clare.  They were the only books I felt were truly missing from my Shadowhunter shelves and now

March Purchases | 2022

I thought I was doing so well this month with purchases, but I definitely ended up buying more than I thought I would.  I totally place the blame on JCrew / JCrew Factory.  They’ve had such great Spring/Summer arrivals and I am so over Winter weather. 1 – Tuckernuck Royal Shirt
