My surprise over the disappearance of July probably comes as no surprise as I seem to lament how quickly the months go on a regular basis now. It's a disconnect from the feeling that we’re years into this president’s term based on the chaos and toxicity. The only thing keeping my poor psyche from exploding is how beautiful July’s weather was—cool, cloudy mornings turning to ... Read More...
June Reading Recap
The photo above is more an interpretation of my brain these days than a statement about June in Seattle. Apologies to everyone in the path of this staggering heatwave, but it’s been a lovely month here weatherwise. My reading was similar.

March Reading Recap
Hello, fellow readers! I’m not sure I’ll get to say this again, but despite a completely miserable and toxic month in the news, my March reading was calmly solid. I only had one book I didn't finish, am fully immersed in a fabulous fantasy series, and read six books that were successful (3.5 stars or above). I have a bit of an unusual situation with this book. ... Read More...
