I mentioned on Friday that January’s reading was a bit bipolar. I didn’t realize that it was an even worse month for many of the readers and bloggers I know. People were quitting books left and right. Thankfully, I didn’t have that, but it was more cloudy than sunny so I’m ready for February. Here are the six books I’m hoping restore my reading mojo. I need to feel some bookish ... Read More...
Know My Name by Chanel Miller
Emily Doe was the name given to the young woman sexually assaulted by Brock Turner, a Stanford student-athlete in 2015. If that doesn’t ring a bell, this should: he was given a sentence that was offensive in its leniency, inciting an outcry around the country. Know My Name is a memoir written by Chanel Miller. She is Emily Doe and she decided it was time to own not only her ... Read More...

I knew I’d have to ... Read More...
November Mini-Reviews

Today is mini-reviews—three very different books with fewer words about each. In Adrienne Brodeur’s memoir, Wild Game fact once again proves to be infinitely stranger than fiction. Adrienne is 14 when ... Read More...
October Reading Recap
Hello! I know October has already ended but figured you’d all cut me some slack as I’ve been a bit busy. When I posted about taking a break because I was driving from Seattle to Ann Arbor I used a stock mountain photo, but I’m happy to report that I took this photo myself while driving through Montana. What a stunning state! I now understand its nickname Big Sky Country. There ... Read More...
