I’ve had this list of book recommendations just sitting in a word document for a number of weeks, and I think it’s finally time to let it shine. And, okay, it's only two books, but I didn't want to overwhelm you. Memories by Lang Leav In this monthly reading post I reviewed Lang Leav’s latest… Continue reading Modern Poetry / Book Recs

July 2019 Reading
Okay, this monthly wrap-up is much, much shorter than all my others have been, and I know you’re all sighing with relief because boy-oh-boy are the other ones way too long to read properly. To your happiness, I’m now a hard-working university student who doesn’t have time to even remember what a book is –… Continue reading July 2019 Reading
One Regret and One Pleasant Surprise
In my youth, I spent most of my money on small, impulsive purchases. They were fun at the time, but most of them didn’t survive very long.

Easy to Read Classics / Book Recs
While I read some Jane Austen when I was a teenager, I only truly enjoyed reading her work as an adult. As a teenager I struggled to understand the different characters and their connections, the language, the complexity of social norms, etc. (And that went for many other classics, not just Austen.) Everyone loves to… Continue reading Easy to Read Classics / Book Recs
