Hey Everyone!
Wow, I can’t believe its been nearly four years since I posted anything to this blog. How time flies!!
The last few years have been kind of crazy and busy between a military deployment (during the height of COVID), a second Master’s degree (Masters’ in Strategic Information and Cyberspace Studies), a graduate certification (Instructional Design), and starting my PhD (Education, with a focus on Research, Evaluation, Statistics and Assessment). I’ve also been on military recall orders for the last year.
But 2026 is shaping up to be a good year of reading and (keeping fingers crossed) blogging. I’ll be starting a 2 year Lucy Maud Montgomery Big Read with the goal to read all her published works (including her short stories) as well as attempting to tackle Moby Dick again. I might try War and Peace again (my goal to read it last year lasted all of a week before I got distracted).
Stay safe in the last few days of 2025 and I look forward to seeing everyone in 2026!

So good to see you back again, Dee! I’m also reorienting myself back towards bookish social media (my blog; Goodreads) to avoid both getting bogged down with AI slop and distraction – so that I can get back to reading more deeply and intentionally!

Welcome back! I never left blogging- still going strong with posting reviews. As long as the authors and publishers keep sending me books, I’ll keep writing reviews! Can’t believe come spring it will be 13 years.
Congratulations on getting your second masters and good luck on the PhD.
