Another year has gone by! I’m not doing anything particularly exciting for my birthday this year since we just got back from New Zealand and Australia, but Tim and I have promised each other a delayed birthday trip sometime in March. Looking forward to that! In fact, I’m looking forward to a lot of things

Well, it was quite a… year. I mean, it was definitely a year, right around 360-something days. I couldn’t say it was a great year, though some great things did happen. I am hesitant to say it was a bad year. It felt like a really long year, that’s for sure. And yet the time

It’s hard to say goodbye to being 31. It’s been so very good to me. This age has brought me more adventure and insight than most. 31 was a year of travel, of discovery, of fearlessness, of happy. I feel like I accomplished a lot this year, not least of which was spending a total

First of all: MERRY CHRISTMAS! I hope all my reader (singular, hahaha) had a great holiday. Mine was wonderful, though it felt really short. The older I get, the more it seems like December is over in just a few days. This time it was exacerbated by circumstances at work – I started yet ANOTHER

Ever read a book, roll your eyes about it, and then read the sequel? No? I did! Living Dead in Dallas by Charlaine Harris is the second novel in the Southern Vampire Mysteries series, which are also known as Sookie Stackhouse novels or the books that True Blood is based on. I read the first

Book #11: Out of Oz

Published on September 14, 2013, by KT in 28. Read 300 Books.

I got a lot of reading done on vacation, so it’s time for another book review! Out of Oz by Gregory Maguire is the 4th book in the Wicked… quadrilogy? I used to call it the Wicked Trilogy but then this book happened. I read Wicked quite a few years ago and really enjoyed it, so

Book #10: American Gods

Published on August 24, 2013, by KT in 28. Read 300 Books.

Back in June, Tim and I went to see Neil Gaiman do a reading and then get some of Tim’s books signed. I was familiar with Gaiman’s work – I was introduced to his writing through Good Omens, which he co-wrote with Terry Pratchett, and the Sandman comics that many of my friends were reading

Book #9: An Arsonist’s Guide to Writers’ Homes in New England

Published on July 14, 2013, by KT in 28. Read 300 Books.

I fell super behind on my book reading. I started a book in May that was putting me to sleep every couple of pages but I tried to power through it. Instead I just spent two months on it and I’m not even halfway through. That’s not like me! I gave up and switched over

Remember how I said I was going to update this thing every week? So far, I really suck at that. Sorry to disappoint my two readers! <3 you ladies! Why the delay? In a word: exhaustion. I am tired all the time. But that’s because I’m working on some goals, so it’s a good thing!

Book #8: Let’s Pretend This Never Happened

Published on May 31, 2013, by KT in 28. Read 300 Books.

It’s the first day of my 90 day fitness challenge and I feel… like crap! I’m sore from Zumba last night and my healthy breakfast (granola and Greek yogurt) was super gross. But I did read a really good book! I found Let’s Pretend This Never Happened by Jenny Lawson in my Kindle’s ‘To
