I think I’ve had a quintessential New England August, all that’s really missing was the Cape and/or the beach. Knowing how many people would be going that direction as summer winds down we went to the opposite direction to western Massachusetts and north to Maine. I’ll get to all of this at the end of the post, because we also saw “BODY WORLDS & The Cycle of Life” at the Museum of Science – Boston, “Gender Bending Fashion” at the Museum of Fine Arts, and John Williams night at Tanglewood. SO MUCH CULTURE.

July Recap 2019
I have no idea how August is here. I mean July was super busy and I actually got to read a lot, so I do, but summer feels almost as if it’s done even though I know we have another month (holiday wise) and almost two according to the seasons, but whoa time, slow down please.

Nine Years of Blogging
Nine years ago today I started this blog.
It has been an interesting and sometimes long slog. I don’t have a lot to talk about in the state of the blog, with a new job starting in December I didn’t get to do any of the enhancements I was hoping to do.
I saw a bunch more bloggers disappear and/or shift to bookstagram/booktube. I’m both happy for them because they found a venue they enjoy, but also like meh because I rarely watch videos about books and most of the bookstagram posts seem to be more about the photo and staging than content or creation.
April Recap 2019
It was a busy ass month. We had so many visitors, work was busy, and my allergies were horrible so I ended May feeling like a wrung out old dishcloth.
We had 8+ visitors in the span of 10 days. It was great to see everyone, bu we’ve got to figure out better timing next time! They just all happened to be passing through Boston at the same time, so most we only saw for 1-2 days/nights, but it was still a lot. The plus side was that we went to Harpoon one weekend and had some of their delicious pretzels!
March Recap 2019
March was incredibly busy, mostly thanks to a week-long cruise to the Caribbean. So it was relaxing busy—that’s a thing right?
The best part though, was when we got on our plane to Florida it was snowing and then we were in the Caribbean for a week. FANTASTIC. In addition the annual video game exposition, PAX East, came to Boston and we went this past Sunday.
