I’m Baaaaaaack…
So yes, I dropped off the face of the earth last summer. Life got a wee bit crazy and unfortunately I dropped one of the things I really enjoy doing in favor of other not so fun things. More on that later. I’ve been pining for my blog for awhile now, but for some reason

Into The Water by Paula Hawkins
I was going to do my fiction post on The Girl Before by J.P. Delaney since that one has been extremely popular at the library, but I got halfway through it and had to skim the rest. It was just weeeeeeird. There was an irritating sprinkling of Fifty Shades, infuriating protagonists, and just way too many things happening with

Simplify Your Stuff
Welcome to the first #PrettySimpleSunday of many! Today we’re going to have a lovely discussion of simplifying your stuff. Basically just a general term for all the crap scattered about your home or collecting dust and bat turds in the attic, or, god forbid, piled high in a storage unit you never visit. I’ve decided to start

6 Things that Made Me Happy this Week (#ThankfulThursday)
On Father’s Day I thought I’d give my dad a gift he’d actually appreciate (and I had no money or idea what to get him and I even forgot to buy a card) and I started cleaning all of my crap out of my parents’ attic. Now, you can maybe only appreciate the true significance

The Perfect Stranger by Megan Miranda
Okay, it’s way past my bed time (I know, I know, it always is) and I’ve got lake water and Bud Light Limes filling my brain (isn’t that just Summer in a sentence?), so I’ve gotta get this done before I drift off into sweet, splendid slumberland. Welcome to fiction week on #BookTalkTuesday! Today’s featured

10 Things I’m Grateful For Today #ThankfulThursday
After my weekly 12 hour workday on Thursday, I could easily just come home, throw myself onto my laundry-covered unmade bed, and call it a night. In fact, that was my routine for about a year straight. I’m happy that even though I’m gone 8:30am-8:30pm, I finally started to make time for things I

Goodbye, Things by Fumio Sasaki
Guess what, I’m here! Keeping up my schedule like a boss. I’ve decided to alternate each week with a fiction and nonfiction book, so because the last one was fiction, this week we’re going nonfiction. I’m still loving that simple, authentic living is on trend, because I’ve always enjoyed reading about it and I fantasize

Okay, So it Didn’t Happen This Week, a Belated #ThankfulThursday
Yeah, so #BookTalkTuesday and #ThankfulThursday were a no go this week. On Tuesday I was too busy getting out of my own way to apply for a couple jobs I was terrified of but wanted desperately. Yesterday I was occupied spending my time with some amazing people I don’t get to see nearly often enough.

10 Things I’m Grateful For #ThankfulThursday
Okay, I’m am typing on fumes here and simultaneously drafting up a new resume and creating a portfolio website, but I am going to get this post out when I promised to goddammit! It’s supposed to be everything I’m grateful for this past week, but since I’ve been absent from your browsers for so long,

The Last One by Alexandra Oliva
All right folks, it’s time to shake things up (by being consistent, which I realize does not make much sense. But moving on…). I’m going to try something new where certain days of the week I post about specific things. This way (I’m hoping), I’ll stop slacking off so much and actually post once in
Let’s Wander.
