Sometimes I feel like I’m getting nothing done, at work or academically, and then my weekly Grammarly report from the college really puts things in perspective

October was the first time I missed my monthly reading goal, but the three books I did read were all fairly solid! I waffled about some of these ratings but I enjoyed all of these books (for wildly different reasons).

Nearly forgot to post my September #BookSky update, in which Dracula ate up my entire month. Some good, fun stuff, and lots of audiobooks. Time for a pizza party.

I’ve been training for this question, I just didn’t expect it in a conversation about Halloween costumes for a toddler. #EarlyModern #AcademicSky

Time for the August #BookSky update: I had to work hard to carve out reading time this month as I ramped up school year prep projects at work. Still managed four books though, and audiobooks continue to be my preferred method of winding down in the evening.

When you get mad that the new tutor training modules aren’t updated, this is literally who you’re mad at

July was a month of conferences, traveling, and BOOKS. I am looking forward to my fancy pizza, and to sharing some of the books I read this month with friends.

5 books in June! Or 6, if you count the fact that Monk and Robot was two novellas in one volume. Still, I enjoyed fancy pizza with a friend yesterday. #BookSky

May was about sharing books with friends. Most of what I read last month was borrowed from or recommended by friends both old and new! I’m eating fancy pizza this weekend.

I read 7 books in April! This was a good month of reading and my highest ratings of the year so far (ended the month with two 5-star reads!). I also spent far too much money at Indie Bookstore Day events, so my TBR is sorted for… a while. Yay reading!

I missed my March post for many reasons, but I still read 4 books! This is the first time in a while that I’ve not done my SAA travel reading binge, probably because I was speed reading all my seminar papers on the plane 🙃

Not #Caturday, but a midweek #AcademicCat snap, in which we discover that Snug likes to read but can’t come to grips with the fact that this book is upside down.

6 books in February! Half audio, half in print, including Clytemnestra (which I loved) and a riveting mystery that I read to my friend’s one year old, entitled “where’s my panda?” #BookSky

I am sad and frustrated for my community after yesterday’s primary election, but today the Tutors and Writing Fellows voted on a spring door dec theme, so at least I got to make this cute momentary distraction.

Every week, my staff meetings include a “weekly updates” section for student managers to share news. There’s also a “director updates” slide and, by popular demand, a new “Snug updates” slide.
This week, Snug’s updates include a progress check on her newest trick, fist bumps. #AcademicCats

Also, I met my reading goal, so guess who’s buying a pizza for my self-designed and definitely not adult BOOK-IT program
