updates on what goes on in daily life
Hi.
I truly do not remember the last time I posted. I’m sure it was some not-so-great attempt at being consistent and posting what I thought I was supposed to. Hopefully, this year won’t go that way. I’m not making any promises; that always seems to be the kiss of death on the blog.
I figured this would be a good time to reflect on EJREADS as a whole in the year 2023. Spoiler alert: there isn’t much content to reflect on.
Happy New Year?
How weird does that sound? 2022 is over already? It couldn’t possibly be; personally, I feel like time hasn’t been real since I graduated last spring. The wild thing, though, is that so much has happened since then.
Let’s recap:
In 2022, I….
This year was a rollercoaster.
In 2023, I have no idea what life will bring, but I do know I am trusting the process. That’s a hard thing for me to do. But, I know that in life, you take parts of everyone and everyday with you to grow. I plan on taking every part of the last year with me. The joy I had in my unemployment, the passion I rediscovered of writing, the comfort I found in reading, the strength I had and the refusal to fail, all of it. These are important parts of me and who I want to be moving forward.
That said, in 2023, I hope to…
This list isn’t perfect or comprehensive, but it is a start of what I need to focus on this year.
Happy New Year, friends, let’s hope we all survive it together.

Life after college is weird.
When I was a kid, I had a very specific plan for my life. I was going to go to NYU, live in New York, live my life in my 20’s with my cat in a crappy apartment that I would, of course, be able to afford with my wonderful job at a publishing house. If you are also in your 20’s, I think you know where I’m going with this…. Obviously, nothing went according to plan.

Take a shot for every post I start with “Long time, no talk” or “It’s been a while” or even worse, the dreaded “I’m back!” Continue reading “let’s talk burnout”
Hey friends.
Long time, no talk, huh? It feels like it’s been ages.
Hello and Happy Holidays, friends!
I know this is kind of late (is New Years late? I don’t really know the appropriate amount of time for this but oh well), but I wanted to share with you the books I was fortunate enough to recieve for Christmas!
This year has been a long one, huh?
Let’s talk about reviews.
If you’re a bookish content creator, you know that reviews are not the easiest to make. It takes a lot of time, effort, and preparation. If you aren’t, you have no idea. I had no idea until I started.
Happy Swiftie Sunday!!!
Okay the title is a little misleading. Technically, I haven’t been reading more, but I have been having longer sessions of reading…if that makes sense. Instead of reading a few chapters at a time, I’ve been reading about 150-300 pages in a single sitting. How? Folklore.

I want to start out by saying that I am not here to accept any apology or comment on any apology that is not mine to do so. What happened this year with the Reading Rush is not something that affects me the same as it does others. The purpose of this post is simply to spread awareness of what happened for those who are not active on Twitter or who are just unaware.
That said, the Reading Rush no longer has my support.
