Almost two full weeks into 2023, and I am still feeling the fullll effects of the new year energy. I love the excitement of a fresh start, and while I know that you can choose to start something new at any time, the new year really is the perfect opportunity. Historically speaking, I make a big list of goals every year - some of them get accomplished (the number of books read), while the rest get forgotten by about January 23rd. But I wanted this year to be different. I have done so …

What I (Didn’t) Read in April
Confession time: I didn’t read a single book in April. I started documenting quick reviews of my monthly reads in January of 2020. Every single month since then, I’ve written up a short little review of each book I finished that month, no matter the number of books it was (sometimes 3-4, sometimes 14!).

Quarantine Thoughts: One Year Later
I sat down today to write a post on my thoughts from one year in “quarantine”, and I started by looking back at the quarantine thoughts post that I shared in May of 2020. We were only a few months into the pandemic, and we had absolutely no clue that we would still be here a year later. A few things have changed since I hit publish on that post - there’s now a vaccine available for COVID-19, we have a new president, I’m MARRIED, I’ve gotten to see friends and family along the way, things have …
