    .my Q3 2025 reads.

    The last few months have flown by because I’ve been busy with my German classes, so it’s actually taken me longer than usual to finish a book. I’m hoping to finish out the year strong. Anyway, here’s what I’ve read, along with ratings and quick reviews. July None of This is True Lisa Jewell 9/10…

    .losing memories.

    15 years ago, my Grandaddy passed away, September 11th, 2010. I always confuse the date because my cousin also passed away in September, and then I always think, “No, he didn’t pass on 9/11!” My dad actually reminded me today. This took me by surprise because I didn’t realize it was that long ago. I…

    .how lucky am i?.
