Book reviews by an unapologetic Trekkie obsessed with dogs and books
My trip home to California has been pretty quiet because the weather has been really grim, but I'm certainly glad to be here. Since it's been raining pretty much non-stop, I haven't had many outdoor adventures, but several of the ones I've had have been book related. Because of course they have! I spent a… Continue reading Bookish Adventures in California
This week's Top Ten Tuesday, hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, is about the books we like to read during the holiday season. I'm currently in my hometown in the San Francisco Bay Area visiting friends and family so I thought I'd shake my TTT up this time around to reflect my trip. Plus, those… Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday: California Dreamin’
Hello readers! I'm currently on my way to my hometown in Northern California. I'm going to be seeing my parents and friends for an early Christmas and I am so freaking excited to see them. Plus, as I'm sure you're all aware from American Christmas movies, Christmas is a pretty big deal there. The city… Continue reading I’ll Be Home For Christmas (sort of)

So it seemed a no brainer to switch to Vodafone's broadband when… Continue reading Vodafone Broadband is No Bueno
It's that time of the week again! Here is a look back at three books I read around this time in 2017. They were all quite different, but I immensely enjoyed each of them. We have a hilarious memoir, a touching YA novel, and a 19th century literary classic. Because I'm nothing if not eclectic!… Continue reading Throwback Thursday Book Reviews!
This week's Top Ten Tuesday, hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, is a little bit different than usual: it's all about how your reading habits have changed. As we get older, we grow as people and our lives go down different paths so it stands to reason that the way we read would shift, too.… Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday: Changes In My Reading Life
This little nerd hasn't done a book tag in quite awhile so I thought it was about time to get tagging. The Strictly Book Tag was created by Stephen Writes and even though I don't watch Strictly, this looked like a lot of fun. So without further ado, let's dance! Waltz – A Book With… Continue reading Strictly Book Tag

Last month I went on a bucketlist trip to the North African country of Tunisia. Being able to walk in the footsteps of the once mighty Carthaginians has been a long-held dream of mine so I was beyond excited to finally be able to go. The country was so much more than I had expected,… Continue reading The Fall of Carthage: Remnants of Empires Past
