Michael Crichton: Jurassic Park and The Lost World (My First Audiobook)
You know, as much as I love the Jurassic Park movies, I’d never read the books [gasp!]. Not until the Jurassic Park audiobook was suggested buy one of the guys in my small group’s book chat—he listens to it every year. Of course, I’ve never been into audiobooks, so I drove down to my local…

Alan Paton: Cry, the Beloved Country
I did it, yall! I finally finished this book! I started reading it again at the beginning of the month (only before bed), and it really only took a few days to finish the second half of the book. So, what was the freakin’ book about, anyway? I’m going to tell you all of it…

10 Things 2023 Taught Me
“What did 2023 teach you?” is the weekly question posted yesterday in IVC. I hadn’t thought about it prior to answering the question, but it made me reflect on my year in a way I hadn’t done yet. There were a lot of things I learned about myself and others last year. Here are the…

2024 Reading List
I’ve said it before, and I’ll lie to myself again: I will finish the books on my shelf before buying new books this year! I wasn’t going to make a TBR list for the year, but the book club subgroup in my small group group chat (so many “groups”!) asked us to post our reading…

To a New Year 🐉
You ever look through your old IG posts and wonder what happened to you? 🙃 I haven’t been sleeping well this week. My eyes will open between 4:00-5:30am and I won’t be able to fall back asleep (I usually get up at 6:30, so it’s not a major time difference, but it’s enough). I spent…

Thick, Sexy Journals (part 2)
I don’t remember if I mentioned this previously—maybe I did—but a few months ago, when I realized it was almost time for a new journal, I looked at the ones I’d created earlier this year and thought that’s not pretty enough. Seriously, Christine‽ So, naturally, I designed new one. I loved it (shades of purple,…

I Bought a Dollar Tree Book! Louise Jensen: The Date
Before last month, I’d never bought a book from Dollar Tree. I’d looked at them in passing, maybe read the blurb on one or two of them, but never took one home. I will admit, I was being very judgey. How good could a book from Dollar Tree actually be? Don’t worry, I’ve shamed myself…

Am I Done Fighting It?
You know, the cycle of constantly posting to socials for a month or two and then disappearing for six months while I recuperate from the overwhelm. I have—especially since I started providing VA services—tried to do what the “Romans” do when it comes to posting on socials and advertising myself. I’ve tried to force myself…

I’m Not Reading Anymore
…and it’s not because I no longer like books. This week, I found myself wondering if I was morphing into a version of myself that doesn’t enjoy reading as much as I used to. I’ve had the most difficult time sitting still to read this year. Instead, I find myself opting for visual stories—TV, movies,…

Am I the Drama?
Note: this is a random post about clothes. I’ve been isolating in my bedroom with COVID for the past week, and while I am on the mend, I am also teetering on delusional at this point, so I just need to ramble. Have you ever purposefully been the person wearing the same exact outfit as…
