You may (or may not) have noticed that I took June off. I didn’t do this on purpose at first, but after a week of being too busy to come up with posts, I decided to let myself have time to finish up all the work I needed to do. I was creating my school’s virtual graduation for our 8th graders, and it took up a lot more of my days than I thought it would, though in retrospect I […]

This month, I continued to dive into the world of the Baby-Sitters Club, however I also managed a few books outside of the series as well. First up was Salt to the Sea, by Ruta Sepetys. The book took place during World War II and followed a diverse group of characters in their mission to reach the Wilhelm Gustloff, a boat that transported refugees to safety. The boat, however, is not a safe haven for the refugees that reach it. […]

It’s a good thing I’m still rereading those BSC books, cause otherwise I’d be at a loss for blog content these days. Although I don’t know how great these posts are, content-wise. I supposed some are more interesting than others, and I do completely get that this is a very niche interest. I promise we will get back to mostly sewing once I am home on a more permanent basis. In Mallory and the Trouble With Twins, we meet Marilyn […]

Exciting news! Between this and my last BSC post, I saw the teaser trailer for the upcoming Netflix show! Let’s just say I already have complaints with the way they answer the phone in the teaser… but that definitely won’t stop me from watching the show. The show is the whole reason I started revisiting the series (aside from the comforting nostalgia factor). In this post, I’ve made it up to book twenty. I’m still trying to go in fives […]

Continuing on in the rereading books that are way below my reading level, I got through books 11-15 of The Baby-Sitter’s Club. As I am going in publication order, this also meant that it was time for a Super Special! Thus there were a total of six books to read for this installment in the series. So without further ado, here’s the latest in my reading. In Kristy and the Snobs, Kristy must get used to living in a new, […]

April was a good month for reading. Still stuck in quarantine as most of us are, the days blend into each other and become work, sew, eat, read, binge watch, waste time on phone… in some order or another. I try to read a little every day to keep my mind sharp, even if that reading is meant for children (for I am still making my way through the Baby-Sitters Club series). I have already outlined Books 6-10 in The […]

I usually wait until the month is officially over before posting about my reads, but with remote learning taking up a ton of time, I think it’s highly unlikely that I’ll finish another book before the end of the day. If nothing else, quarantining has allowed me to really catch up on my reading, even if some of those books were insanely easy reads! The books are many, so let’s jump right in. The Starless Sea, by Erin Morganstern I […]

Quarantine does weird things to a person, like make them want to reread the entire Baby Sitters Club series, despite the fact that they are almost forty and well over the reading level required to read the books! However, for me they were a big part of my childhood and therefore are providing a sense of comfort and nostalgia in this strange, strange time. And so I am going to reread them, and snark on them and relive my childhood! […]

To say we’re all having a rough time right now would be a serious understatement. But I’m determined to keep my blog light in this now very heavy world, and so I’m not going to go into what we’re all struggling with in too much detail. I mean, you know it all anyway already, and there’s no use in me rehashing facts and figures. Personally, I can only read the news once per day to stay informed, and then I […]
