Book Reviews – Second Half of 2025
Welcome back to the book reviews that no one really asked for and that I mostly post for myself. I read a lot of books this year – I actually completed my goal of 45 books, and in fact read 50 books this year! In the last few months, I’ve been going through a bit Continue reading

A life update, I guess
In February of 2025, I was accepted to the Arabic Studies MA program, specializing in Teaching Arabic as a Foreign Language (or TAFL), at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.

Book Reviews – First Half of 2025
I’ve been very busy/lazy/distracted this year, so I guess we’re back to doing book reviews every six months instead of quarterly. So this is going to be long, but oh well. You chose to be here, and you can leave whenever you want. As always, some of these reviews are stolen from my Goodreads, so Continue reading

Book Reviews – Fourth Quarter of 2024
Here are all the books I read in the last quarter of 2024. Unfortunately, I did not complete my reading goal for the year, but that’s okay. I read 31 books, and hopefully my reading slump is over and I can read more in 2025. Anyone’s Ghost by August Thompson (4.5 stars) I read this Continue reading

Book Reviews – Third Quarter of 2024
I’ve been in a reading slump for what feels like the whole year, so this is late and underwhelming, as far as book blog posts go. But here it is anyway. Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo (3-3.5 stars) I’m honestly not sure how to feel about this book. I absolutely loved Six of Crows and Continue reading

Book Reviews – Second Quarter of 2024
Another later roundup of the books I read in the last quarter of the year. I have still not been reading as much as I’d like to be, but I’m doing my best. On Earth as It Is on Television by Emily Jane (3.5-4 stars) I picked this book up at the Barnes and Noble Continue reading

Book Reviews – First Quarter of 2024
A little bit late, but here are all the books I read in the first 3 months of 2024. I’m very behind on my reading goal this year, but at least that makes it easier for me to write my silly little reviews, right? The Possibilities by Yael Goldstein-Love (4 stars) This was a very Continue reading

A Very Slow Runner’s First Half Marathon
On March 23, 2024, I ran the Riverton Half Marathon in Riverton, Utah. It was my first half-marathon ever, and my first race in years, so I wanted to share a little bit about my experience. Background I’ve been running on and off since my sophomore year of high school. I had a lot of Continue reading

My Favorite Things 2023
I was inspired to do this by my brother Phin’s post on his website a little while ago, and I thought it would be fun to do my own little version. I like to pretend anyone cares about my opinion haha 🙂 Books I read 51 books this year, but these are a couple that Continue reading
