Book List

Hey, look, it’s a blog post! I don’t want to call this a comeback to blogging because, honestly, I’m not sure what this year is going to bring. But it felt like a bummer not to get to the end of the year and do a couple of recaps of my favorite books! In 2019, [...]

I’m closing out 2018 on the blog with a look back at my favorite fiction of the year. As of writing this post I’m at 112 books finished, which should be a solid number since I won’t have time to complete another book before the clock strikes midnight. Of the 112 books I finished, exactly [...]

Despite the fact that 2018 hasn’t officially ended yet, it still feels late in the year to be sharing a favorite reads list! I was going to wait a few more days, but I came back from Christmas with gross cold and, therefore, don’t think I’ll be reading much of note to close out the [...]

Because putting together book lists is my favorite thing – I’m really excited to be hosting this week’s topic of Nonfiction November – Be the Expert/Ask the Expert/Become the Expert: Three ways to join in this week! You can either share three or more books on a single topic that you have read and can [...]

This post originally appeared on Book Riot.  This month’s total solar eclipse, which will pass over the United States on Monday, Aug. 21, has gotten me all excited about space and astrophysics once again. In order to help all of us get a little historic and scientific background for this event, I’ve put together four [...]

This is the end! I officially wrapped up 100 Days of Books on Instagram on July 12, a feat that was (and still is) incredibly satisfying. When I the project back in April, I honestly wasn’t sure if I’d make it all the way through. I don’t have a great track record completing things like this, [...]
