my life production through the pages
The Right Stuff is a new TV series from National Geographic on Disney+. The first season spans the time between the start of the space program and sending the first American into space. I can’t compare The Right Stuff TV series to the movie (1983) or the book (by Tom Wolfe, 1979) of the same name. I […]
Finlay Donovan Is Killing It by Elle Cosimano honestly could not have come to me at a better moment. In February, I turned 30, and despite the fact that I know being 30 isn’t any different than being 29, I struggled mentally with knowing that I haven’t achieved what society says I should have achieved by […]
Well, my unintentional break is finally over! How is everyone doing? Can you believe it’s March? The start of 2021 has been a bit rocky for me to say the least. I think the monotony of life with COVID has finally caught up with me. That plus turning 30 had kind of killed my motivation […]
Love Spells and Other Disasters by Angie Barett is a quick, fun read that is perfect for February. A girl that is skeptical of anything paranormal despite the fact that her mother is an expert on ghosts finds herself writing love spells that actually work for a school project. Of course, as they always do […]
I’m Not Dying with You Tonight by Kimberly Jones and Gilly Segal is a thought-provoking must-read. The story follows two teenaged girls, one black and one white, as they navigate through the racially charged chaos together that erupts at a Friday night high school football game. I’m Not Dying with You Tonight was a page-turner. […]
I’m sure a lot of us were over the year 2020. It was by far one of the tougher years of my life. Although 2021 still poses many challenges (COVID-19, economic crisis, continuing social injustices, etc.), I’m hopeful that 2021 will move us in the right direction. Well… at least for most of us. There […]
So I swear I reviewed this book when it came out, but for whatever reason, I could never find my old review. Maybe it got lost when I accidentally deleted all of my blog content a couple of years back. Whoops… Anyway, with it being the holiday season, I decided to reread Marry Me at Christmas […]
The Mistletoe Trap by Cindi Madsen is the perfect holiday read, especially if you enjoy friends-to-lovers romances. It has two best friends trying to spend as much time together over the Christmas holiday before heading back to their respective jobs states apart, a lot of meddling family members, and lots of laughs. What I loved […]
2020 has been a very tough year. & I don’t know about anyone else, but I feel like the first week of November was particularly difficult. The US Election was my tipping point, and I was officially maxed out on political news, COVID-19 news, economic news, etc. I was simply exhausted and over it all. […]
We have finally made it to the last quarter of 2020. I’m excited for some cooler temperatures and the holidays. I know this year the holidays will be different with COVID-19 still wreaking havoc on the world, but I’m hopeful that there will still be fun times to be had. Plus, I do enjoy the […]
