  • Crossroads [A RoW80 Post].

    I absolutely adore my new apartment; it’s charming as hell, cozy as fuck, and I’m constantly surrounded by books. It’s on the corner of a nice street in a great neighborhood, and I can’t wait for the rows of trees out there to start budding to make the view even better. This last benefit, however,…

  • Of Walks and Words and Worries. [A RoW80 Post]

    Spring has finally decided to stick around Chicagoland lately, which means that I’ve been able to get out and start walking again. Last year, when I started my journey for a healthier me, watching my diet and all this walking helped me lose about thirty pounds. I gained a little bit over the winter, what…

  • Time is a Flat Circle. [A RoW80 Post]

    Time is a funny thing, isn’t it? All yesterday, I had been planning on getting home after work, settling in to write out a blog post that wasn’t about RoW80, because, for the life of me, I was truly thinking that today was not Wednesday. I didn’t even up writing that post; I got home…

  • Third Time’s a Charm. [Another RoW80 post]

    Here I am, making my third post in a row about (…err…) RoW. And that’s okay. It isn’t as though I haven’t had anything else to talk about. In fact, there’s a whole list of things I want to talk about, including five books that I’ve finished in the last month or so. I’ve had…

  • And we’re off! [A RoW80 Post]

    Normally, I wouldn’t like having two of the “same type” of posts in a row on my blog (in this case, RoW80 updates), but I’m trying to be better about my weird little quirks and consistency, so I’m just going to suck it up and give you all my update. We’re only two days into…

  • Ready, Set, GOALS! [A RoW80 Post]

    It’s been so long since I’ve participated in RoW80 that I can’t even remember the last time I did. What I do remember was that it gave me a sense of drive, purpose, and, most importantly, community that really made me feel connected to the pulse of the indie author world. For a variety of…

  • Fill-Her Post. Not dirty.

    The other day was my birthday, and I didn’t post anything about it, partly because I had that Hunger Games post I had been sitting on for a while, and partly because there isn’t a whole lot to say regarding birthdays after a certain point. I didn’t really do anything; the boyfriend and I are…

  • The Problem with Romance.

    Most of my readers are probably aware that, despite not being a huge fan of romance as a genre, it’s a genre I’m trying to read more of to understand a bit better. Of course, there are a lot of free and discounted romance titles out there, and, being a book whore, that certainly helps…

  • I’m the Invisible Man.

    So, I finished my first book of the year the other day (yes, technically, it’s a novella, but the copy I have has 200+ pages, so it counts): The Invisible Man by H.G. Wells. It is my first H.G. Wells book and hopefully not my last. The man is a sci-fi treasure, and it’s a…

  • The Books I Read in 2015.

    Anyone who has been following me for a while is likely to know of one particular goal I have every year that I consistently fail to accomplish: one of these day, I will reach my goal of reading 100 books in a year. Last year was again not one of those years. I didn’t even…
