- July Reading GoalsWell, unfortunately for my July Reading Goals I’m going to carry over the challenge prompts that I didn’t get to last time. The problem for me and challenges is that I always want to err on the side of making it a Fun To Do List Project rather than a Task I Am Assigning Myself.… Read more: July Reading Goals
- June Reading Wrap-UpIt’s time for the June Reading Wrap Up! Writing this post and attempting to reference my own blog, I noticed that 1) my blog has no search feature and 2) when you click on “blog”, it lists only the latest post. That’s on my goal to fix sometime this summer! June was an interesting month… Read more: June Reading Wrap-Up

- Book Review: Claudia and the Bad Joke
Claudia has to endure Child Drama, make a choice that we already know the outcome of as readers, enjoys some continuity, and BREAKS HER LEG. An incredibly boring Claudia book, all things considered. Three stars. - Book Review: You Just Need to Lose Weight
This book is great for a person who is just coming around to the idea of anti-fat bias as a concept existing! I love Aubrey Gordon, as always. I also loved the reflection questions and action items at the end. However, I am active fan of Maintenance Phase, and I am not just coming around… Read more: Book Review: You Just Need to Lose Weight - Book Review: Bullshit Jobs
I really liked this book, but it was kind of insane to be reading it during working at my job which is probably mostly not bullshit but is remote so it does feel kind of like nobody is looking at me and that is sometimes scary. I kept reading this book and he would describe… Read more: Book Review: Bullshit Jobs - Book Review: The Cybernetic Tea ShopThis was really really really really really good. This felt like if PSALM FOR THE WILD-BUILT was more focused on the tea shop that we are promised at the beginning of the story. I loved its characters and I loved its sapphic worldbuilding and storytelling. I loved the technology, and I loved the cozy feel… Read more: Book Review: The Cybernetic Tea Shop
- Book Review: Cozy Case Files, Vol 19
I actually finished this a while ago, but I’m not sure when, so I guess I will count it for June. I don’t think I really found out anything I didn’t know about my cozy taste with this one, but I did add Case of the Bleus, Dead on Target, Nine Lives and Alibis, and… Read more: Book Review: Cozy Case Files, Vol 19 - Review: Decorate: 1000 Professional Design Ideas for Every Room In Your Home
I read this book almost exclusively because there was a Storygraph error where it was reading at 1396 pages instead of its actual page count, which is 696, and I was like, yes, I would like to cheat at my page count so that I can achieve my goals faster. Regrettably this issue was fixed… Read more: Review: Decorate: 1000 Professional Design Ideas for Every Room In Your Home - Book Review: The Uncommon Reader
This book had been on my TBR for a really long time and it was on Kindle Unlimited, so I picked it up. It was short, it was good, it was kind of a silly little novella. I enjoyed myself, but not that much. Four stars.
