we're all mad here
Not gonna lie, I didn’t super want to write this wrap-up. I don’t know what’s going on, but I am really pulling back creatively from talking about the books I’m reading and the life I’m curating, but I also really appreciate having something to look back on and see what I’ve done in the last…

Long time no chat! I know that this is probably going to come as a surprise and not, but I’m taking a step back from blogging. I mean, take any of the following things for reference: my hiatus in May, my absolute exhaustion throughout all of April, the fact that posts kept going up incomplete…

Things are finally starting to look up. I’m glad that I took a small hiatus in May because I honestly think that it helped. I was stretching myself way too thin, and about one second after I decided to take a hiatus, I started reading and writing more regularly. I just needed a little step…

This was certainly an interesting month. From unexpectedly amazing books to major disappointments, plus probably the busiest I’ve ever been at work (seriously, it felt like I was back in retail, that’s how tired I was every day), I’m not exactly happy to see January go, but definitely not sad.

I had the absolute pleasure of reading several of Tolkien’s unpublished children’s books over the last week, and while birthday celebrations have wound down and come to a close, I wanted to drop in with one last hurrah with some mini reviews.

Previously on An Adventure in Tolkien: Andy Serkis absolutely wrecked me with his narration of LOTR in all the best ways. I said this in my mini review for this month’s wrap-up, but my favorite thing in the world with reading is to not read a summary for something and make up what the book…
