Sharing a favorite series with your child is a special kind of happiness. I am absolutely loving every live reaction I get from Colt as he makes his way through the Red Rising series.

Book 2. John Dies at the End by Jason Pargin. This month’s Howler book club pick! This was a bizarre book. Like a literary trip gone bad. 3 stars, would have been more but I had to put it down numerous times and say “do what now?!”

Also on my list of resolutions, stop holding imaginary grudges and work to rebuild those bridges I set fire to (and there are many). Sooooo, if you recently got a follow from me and you’re all “wtf is she doing? We haven’t talked in ten years!” Hi. I miss you. Let’s catch up. Hope you’re well. 🫶🏻

Part of my New Year’s resolutions is to read more intentionally. And that includes actually sitting with the books I finish and giving them a rating and my thoughts.
