Are Self-Help Books Actually Kinda Cringe?

When I first got back into the bookish lifestyle, I did so with self-improvement books. (You can learn more about that in my previous post about why I don't want to be a capital-R "Reader.") I pulled from a number of different selections in an attempt to…

When I first got back into the bookish lifestyle, I did so with self-improvement books. (You can learn more about that in my previous post about why I don't want to be a capital-R "Reader.") I pulled from a number of different selections in an attempt to use reading to better myself. Some of the books were actually pretty solid and helpful, but others...eeehhhh...

Just took my daughter to taste #wine at a winery for the first time, and it reminded me that we are not actually biologically related. The only wine she liked was the strawberry wine. Meanwhile, I’m pretty sure my favorite was the dry port.

It is very important for me to share with you that my daughter, Loren, is 21 years old today, meaning she can legally drink in the States, meaning she can go out for drinks with guys, meaning that I need to take an Ativan.

Grab your cuppa tea (or coffee, or whiskey, or the blood of your enemies) and pick a book to pair with it in my latest blog post!

Just overheard my daughter say, “Grood. Uh, good. Great.”

She doesn’t know about Teen Girl Squad.

Review: “Spy x Family, Vol. 1” by Tatsuya Endo
As much as I enjoy graphic novels, I don't gravitate toward the serialized nature of comic books. I prefer to either read a one-off or wait for a complete collection to come out so that I'm not waiting around to see what happens next (or spending six squillion dollars on multiple books). However, I have a daughter who loves anime and reads manga on phone apps, so I decided to take that approach as well.
