Me, late with a blog post? Shocking! This is definitely the overall highest-rated roundup I’ve posted so far, so get to the library ASAP, friends. Happy reading! Colorfully yours, Haley Oxygen by Carol Cassella—4/5 If you’re squeamish about medical topics, this one probably isn’t for you—but my curious brain ate it right up. It’s a […]
A day late…but hopefully not a dollar short. Happy reading, friends! Colorfully yours, Haley We Are the Brennans by Tracey Lange—3.5/5 I obviously had no choice but to read this. Not only do I share a last name with the characters, but my dad has always said the phrase “We are the Brennans” when he […]
I was hoping to get this posted while it was still February, but I feel like one week into March basically counts. Happy reading! Colorfully yours, Haley All the Money in the World by Robert Anthony Siegel—2/5 Friends have been telling me to track my books on Goodreads for a while now. But, I like(d) […]
Do I talk too much about books? Probably. Am I going to keep doing it anyway? You betcha. Here are my reviews of the books I read this month: The Midnight Library by Matt Haig—3.75/5 You may have noticed that this was my first virtual book club pick of the year. As I discussed via […]
Just in the nick of time, I finished my 50th read of the year! I didn’t have an initial goal in mind, but I decided to count a few weeks ago and realized how close I was to that milestone—so why not reach it?! Don’t forget to catch up on Part 1 and Part 2 […]
Since my initial 2021 book review post (“Everything I’ve Read So Far in 2021“), I’ve knocked 25 more off my to-be-read list, so I was long overdue for a part two. To keep this post manageable for both me and you, dear reader, I’ve kept it to about half that and plan on posting a […]
It’s no secret that I’m a bookworm. That’s why book reviews have always been a feature I’ve tried to keep up with on the blog. Since January, though, I’ve been breezing through books and keeping note of titles, but haven’t taken the time to sit back and talk about them. I recently did a poll […]
I was far too young to understand—or even notice, for that matter—the stardom Princess Diana held toward the end of her life and in the years after her untimely death. I hadn’t even turned six when she was tragically killed. The one thing I always associated with the Princess was the iconic royal purple Beanie […]
As we approach the most important election this country has ever held, to say things are politically charged would be a gross understatement. I’m sure I’m not alone in that I feel torn between the need to stay informed on all things political and the desire to hide under the covers, pretending it’s not happening. […]
Like many of us, I tend to be drawn to books that seem to have strong parallels to my own life. That’s what made me pick up All the Time in the World by Caroline Angell. First of all, it takes place on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, where I live. Secondly, the protagonist […]
