on my inner goodreads vs. storygraph debate
when it comes to book tracking, there are several different options available for people to choose from. i use two to cover my book needs: goodreads and storygraph. goodreads is the most well known of all reading apps so that was where i started, and i chose storygraph for some features it provides that goodreads…

on the simple joy and beauty of book clubs
as i was sitting in a book club last night while we discussed yesteryear by caro claire burke, i kind of drifted my thinking away to “how did i get here”? surely a consequential question when considered at large, but mostly i was thinking relative to the discussion at hamd. i was sitting at a…

on my top 11 movies of all time
for whatever reason, about five years ago i lost just about all desire to watch movies. i have almost no motivation to watch new movies or past favorites in any capacity. i barely even want to watch tv shows anymore. maybe it was the wealth of choice and i was paralyzed with so many options…

on my favorite book series
every year, each book-socialmedia creator creates their *updated* list of favorite books or series. i never felt like i had much to add to the discussion since i really had not read enough series to have a strong opinion. however, since becoming overly obsessed with reading, i’ve accumulated not just an impressive amount of series…

on being meat-free for nine years
each year, october 18th holds a very special place in my heart. it is the day that, on a whim, i decided to stop eating meat. well, truthfully, when i initially made the decision, it was only going to be for a week, but once the week was over i just kept it going. and…

on my favorite game i’ve played on each console
i’ve been a big fan of video games since 2005 when i got a gameboy advance sp for christmas from my parents. i don’t know that i would fully consider myself a gamer, but i’ve been a heavy player of games for a very long time. it’s not my personality or anything, and i wouldn’t…
