Moving From Florida to Colorado | Reading & Moving Vlog

Freshly Read Books 2024-05-20 | I've officially traded beaches for mountains! Which is good because I never took advantage of the beach. Don't tell, but the picture in the thumbnail isn't even from Florida; it's in Columbia. Anyway, I moved and read a couple of books very slowly but I still wanted to share this exciting time in my life!

Giving Star Ratings to Every Book I Read in 2023

Freshly Read Books 2024-01-22 | Historically, I almost never rate books. It has made me nervous to do because it felt so definitive. But every time we come to the end of a year, I get jealous of all the stats that I don't get to be a part of because none of my books have ratings. So I figured for 2024 I would rate my books, and I thought a little immersion therapy would help me get over my anxiety around it by rating all of the books I read in 2023 to start.

Update! I'm proud to say that I have been consistently rating and giving short reviews of my 2024 reads. I review them on Threads and share them on my IG story (with a saved highlight for all my 2024 books).
