Don’t you just love the feeling of being in love?
Don’t you just love the feeling of being in love?
Such a good book and such a great reminder that it’s okay to put myself first. It’s okay to remove toxic people from my life, even if they may be family.
Most days, I can barely lift anything. On grocery day, I’m a superhero.
I’ll carry 10 bags of groceries (or more) if it means one trip into the house.
I love that author Mariana Zapata understands that. Harharhar…
Love can be complicated.

Year: 2020
Goal: 150 Books
Read: 236 Books (267 including rereads)
I exceeded my reading goal…twice! Originally set at 100 books, I increased it as I inched closer to it and decided to increase it to 150. I met that goal, and then just kept reading. I read over 200 books (novellas included), and it was completely unexpected. I didn’t realize how much I’d read until I made more of an effort to track what I was reading on Goodreads. I went from a very, very long reading slump to reading nearly anything that sounded interesting to me. I’m positive this was an unprecedented year for me in reading so I don’t know how much I’ll be able to read in 2021.
Year: 2020
Goal: 1

One of the best things that could have happened to me this year was discovering the bookish community and subsequently the bookish blogging community, which helped me to start my own blog. When I started reading again, I did not expect to become active on Twitter and I did not expect to start a blog…until I did. I reached out to Leelynn at Sometimes Leelynn Reads and she was welcoming and super helpful. It’s the end of 2020 and I’m still navigating a lot of things including being more consistent in terms of posting and my voice. However, I recognize that my posts are dependent on my mood during or after I finish a book…so I’m a mood blogger as well as a mood reader. The most consistent I may be will be how inconsistent I am. Heh…
These are my five star reads of the year.
The Crown Jewel of 2020
This was my top read of 2020. I planned a review for Today Tonight Tomorrow but I could never get it just right. Maybe one day, I’ll actually be able to post up how amazing this book was, how it made me nostalgic, and how I sat smiling after I finished it and just thought about how much I enjoyed high school…and then I remembered the one that got away. (hahaha)
ON LIFE
ON LOVE
ON LOSS
