Happy Belated Birthday to Me

August 17, 2021 by Tanya // 1 Comment

Soooooo … awkward. I meant to write. Two weeks ago. Last month. And I most certainly intended to write on my birthday as it’s been my tradition for the past few years to write reflections/lessons but … you know. I felt lazy, okay. A little uninspired. Super unmotivated. Plus, it was my birthday and the birthday girl (or old lady) gets to do whatever she pleases. So yeah, I’m late for my own birthday but that’s cool; I forgive me.

July Bookshelf – I Read Something!

August 9, 2021 by Tanya // 13 Comments

Hello, I’d like to introduce myself or perhaps reintroduce myself is more accurate. My name is Tanya and I read books. Once upon a time, I read a lot. One might even say voraciously. Now, I dream about reading and getting lost in a world of make-believe. While in reality, I struggle to actually open a book and read most (all) days. But Praise the Reading Gods, I read 1 book. Yes, we are celebrating the reading of ONE book because it is better than NONE.

A Few Random Thoughts

June 1, 2021 by Tanya // 2 Comments

I truly am trying to get back into a blogging rhythm. Sometimes, though, the thought of creating compelling or even coherent posts keep me from writing, if we’re being honest. I have always marveled at those who can post every day AND write something I want to read. I tried writing something “fun” and failed (sticking with the honest mode) and decided that a stream of consciousness was the best I could do.

Hello. It’s Me Again.

Back for the 458th time. I’m not even going to bother promising that I’m back. Clearly I’m here right now but for how long? Who knows? Now I’m not planning on leaving but I’m also not promising to faithfully be here every week. And yes, folks, that’s how you build an audience/community – by being deeply sporadic and unreliable. It’s amazing I make a dollar with this blog. Oh wait. I don’t. 😀

March Bookshelf: Hello, Remember Me?

April 13, 2021 by Tanya // 16 Comments

My name is Tanya and I am a book reader. Well, I was. Once upon a time I was a prolific book reader but lately – not so much. In fact, looking back, it looks like the last time I made an appearance on the Show Me Your Books Link-Up was almost a year ago. Gulp. But I’m back today. Fingers crossed, I won’t go away again either.

2021: Take Two

February 23, 2021 by Tanya // 3 Comments

I know. I said I was coming back. Gonna blog again and find joy and laughter every day. That was on January 5th. You probably don’t need me to remind you what happened the next day. Beyond the absolute horror and disgust I felt on January 6th during the Capitol Insurrection, I also felt a major “Welp. there goes 2021” energy that took some recovery time.
