Welcome to Speaking Of… my cozy corner of the internet where books, coffee, and chaos happily coexist.  As a mom of three toddlers, I balance my endless TBR with sippy cups and storytime, which means you’ll find the occasional Toddler Tuesday featuring our favorite children’s books right alongside my adult reads.

I’m a reader of all genres, but I’m especially drawn to fantasy, mysteries, and uniquely crafted stories that surprise me. I have a soft spot for books that mix dark humor, clever twists, and a touch of heart, the kind that feel both wildly imaginative and deeply relatable.

Here, you’ll find Book of the Month and Aardvark predictions, Wine Down Wednesday and Murder Monday reviews, Throwback Thursdays, and plenty of bookish chaos in between. Whether it’s a gripping thriller, a laugh-out-loud rom-com, or a tender family read, if it tells a great story, I’m in.
