Though it’s not yet consistently cold outside, the temperatures around here are pretty erratic at the moment. As such, of course our HVAC unit went out during one of the cold spells. It took a few weeks to get it up and running, but we have AC and heat again — rejoice! I bought a heated blanket last year and I’ve been living underneath it almost every night. It’s so cozy!
Read MoreHappy fall reading season! Though I’m a serial mood reader, I love, love, love creating a fall reading list. There’s something about fall/spooky season that brings out my desire to read books that represent (or kind of represent) the vibe of the season. For the next few months, catch me curled on the couch with a good book, a hot coffee (or a chai latte like I’m sipping now), a sweatshirt, and a big comfy blanket (always). Believe me, I WILL turn the air conditioning down to achieve prime fall cozy. Last year, I read every book on my fall reading list — let’s see if the same results are in the cards this time around!

That being said, I do love me some holiday reading — there’s something about a feel good Christmas romance… even a Christmas murder mystery (thriller lovers, you get me here). In the weeks leading up to Christmas, I like to hunt down a few seasonal reads to add to my reading list, and this year is no exception. Here are some books you’ll find me reading this holiday season.
