Small Scares: Ten Picture Books for Halloween
With Halloween creeping around the corner, I’ve been craving books that evoke the season. And while I most books ghastly and ghostly—if it makes me think twice before turning the lights out before bed, it’s my kind of book—it’s also nice to settle in with something a little lighter on the macabre.

On a Plane, on a Train, in a Car: Ten Books I’ve Read All Over
This week’s Top Ten Tuesday is all about the books I’ve read on vacation. Thankfully, and probably mostly to do with my lack of experiencing motion sickness, I can read just about anywhere. Whenever I travel, I have at least one book with me and, if the trip’s going to take longer than a couple…

Who’s Still Here?: Ten Books Waiting on My TBR Shelf
It’s been a minute since I’ve participated in Top Ten Tuesday—so first, hey all! This week’s topic is all about books I’ve listed on previous seasonal TBR posts that I still haven’t read. However, I’m not great at seasonal planning. I hardly ever know what I’m going to read next until I’m already holding the…

For Once, I’m Speechless: Eleven Books I Haven’t Reviewed
2022 has officially arrived … somehow. And while I’d like to talk about new beginnings and all the bright things I’m hopeful for this year, I keep thinking of one of my grandmother’s refrains: however your year opens is how it will close. If that turns true, then I’m taking the year off. See y’all…
