.a view on yesteryear.
A novel on the societal and mental impact of “Tradwife” culture. I’m going to take a stab at writing fuller, yet spoiler-free, book reviews here and there. Not every book, but maybe the ones that affected me enough that I feel it requires more than just my quarterly “quick review”. I figured I’d start with…

.april RWLUDT.
Thought: My main picture is funny because it doesn’t have much to do with anything I have listed, and it will continue to be that way I guess. Reading Yesteryear I was not expecting to like this book as much as I did. It’s about a modern-day “tradwife” influencer who wakes up in the 1800s.…

.dnf guilt.
If you couldn’t tell, I enjoy a good book. I love sitting in my corner of the couch, my husband calls “the gemütlich headquarters,” and reading for 30-60 minutes in the morning. I also enjoy discovering new books. Some of my favorite social media posts and reels are book recommendations. I love finding summaries and,…

.my Q1 2026 reads.
I started 2026 pretty strong, already reading 6 books (half of my yearly reading goal). I suspect I’ll be slowing down a bit since I’m working on a few other things for myself. It’s a good thing. I have a lot of hobbies, but here’s what I’ve read in 2026 so far: January The Mystery…

.march RWLUDT.
I’ve decided to try writing this monthly list of things I’m reading, watching, listening to, using, doing, and trying. I hope with this, I can find more glimmers in my everyday life. Reading Wuthering Heights I’ve had this on my TBR list, and I’ve been wanting to read more “classics”. With all the hype around…

.moomins in munich.
This all started with a meme. About a year ago, Instagram started sending me memes with this adorable cartoon girl. She had red hair and a cute ponytail that pointed at the top of her head; she constantly looked irritated and mischievous. I absolutely loved it. My husband would get those memes too and would…

.my Q4 2025 reads.
My goal was to read 1 book per month, 12 books for the year, but I managed to total 18 this year! I have so much in my “To-Read Pile,” and I’m excited for what I have lined up for 2026! Here are my final reads of 2025, along with ratings and quick reviews. If…

.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…

.my Q2 2025 reads.
These last few months have been kind of weird for me. I struggled with fatigue for multiple reasons and wanted to be a homebody. My fatigue issues are finally being addressed, but keeping up with my reading was helpful for my mood, even though I seem to read emotional and dark stories. Here’s what I…

.my Q1 2025 reads.
I’ve had a busy few weeks, becoming a resident of Germany and moving out of my Philly apartment, so this reading list is severely delayed. I haven’t even had a moment to start a new book for April, but here are my reads and quick thoughts on each book from the first quarter of 2025.…
