It’s been SOOOO long since I let myself pre-order hardcopies of books with abandon. I was on award committees four years in a row, I am an avid library user, and frankly, who has the time to stay up to date with adult books when you’re knee deep in picture books? This year though…this year…

December is a slow publishing month but a big READING month for me…especially if I take the train home for the holidays. Not a ton of books on my radar releasing this month, but maybe that’ll give me a chance to catch up? HA–as if Here are four books that grabbed my eye in the…

The year is almost over! It’s almost my birthday! THE YEAR IS ALMOST OVER! Ahhhh. I have so much reading I’ve loved this year, and so much more that I hope to do befroe 2025 is upon us. Let’s dive into five titles coming out in November that I’m excited about. November may be a…

HOW is it already October? How am I drowning in backlist titles and still somehow thinking about upcoming releases? Because I’m crazy…and I love reading…and I cannot wait to read these seven books in particular, even if it probaby won’t be this month.

September is an insane publishing month every year, and this one is no different! Here are my most anticipated titles! Intermezzo by Sally Rooney I’m seated, I’m waiting, and I’m ready to read. Sally Rooney’s three previous books all emotionally wrecked me, and I know this one isn’t billed as romantic trauma, but I’ve already…

I love trolling the book catalogs, looking for an under-the-radar new release or debut that will blow me away, but I always gasp and go “ooh” when I see a new book promised from a big name author, especially one I’ve enjoyed before. There are so so many authors I routinely search on Edelweiss hoping…

The most impressive part of this whole thing is me writing and posting it on the 1st day of August! I’m coming off a ton of summer activities and headed into a weekend of travel, so having a little rest day (or half a rest day) on the 1st of the month is a real…

I have been humbled…which is probably evident since I am recapping my JUNE reading halfway through July. Between the end of the school year, Caldecott, two conferences and some big changes with July…my “for me” reading kind of face-planted in June. I lost track of what I had just read multiple times, so while I…
