An Interlude to Reveal New Bookcases [Bookshelf Tour 2/5]

On January 23, I posted part one of a tour of all the books on my shelves. I had packed everything up and moved all my books into storage in December. My plan was to give an overview of what my book collection had looked like for the past four years or so, before I moved into a new place. The last tour I had done was also before a […]

Talkin’ About Tolkien [Bookshelf Tour 1/4]

2021 End of Year Book Survey

I have completed this survey every year since I started book blogging full time (2014). Since I read fewer books than usual this year, I have removed some questions for which I didn’t have an answer. So, be […]

December 2020 In Review

December 2020 In Review

Overview My December started with a job interview and ended with an offer of returning to the job I left in March. 😄 This week I return to being a FT children’s librarian, at the location where I previously worked for five months. I dreamed that would happen but never imagined it would. You should have seen me dancing around my apartment when I go the news… As for Christmas […]
