Welcome! I document my adventures in reading, writing, and drinking (mostly coffee).
Sunrise on the Reaping is OUT! I loved it so much, and I truly didn’t think I was going to even like it! I had not felt any connection to Haymitch’s character prior to Sunrise on the Reaping.

Book Review : Margo’s Got Money Troubles by Rufi Thorpe
Review: Quirky, endearing, lovable main characters. An excellent read for the chronically online.
Reading it in 2025 is entertaining bc Twitter/X and Goodreads play such a prominent role and they are now shells of what they once were, and I love the (early?) exploration of online cancel culture.
