Request a book review

I love to read, and books have been a constant companion to me through all stages of my life. I love being immersed in the story and feel like I truly know the characters and their struggles. I also love to learn new things or gain a better knowledge of something I already know a bit about and I love to share my thoughts on books.

The downside of being a book lover is that I can’t devote every waking hour to reading. I’d like to think that in my younger days, I did but with a family and responsibilities for my own business, the one thing I need more of is time. That’s why it’s extremely important that you know I’m only one lady! I don’t have a team to help me read, review, and write the book posts here on the blog. It’s all done by me and so I must be picky and think of my free time as time well spent.

Before you fill out the form below, I’d like you to know these things as well:

  1. If I’m interested in the book, I will reach out to arrange the delivery method.
  2. Filling out the form does NOT GUARANTEE a review will be given.
  3. If I say yes, please allow for a 60-day turnaround before you email asking about the book review/when you can see it, etc. Once it’s complete, I will send you the link and tag you on social.
  4. If I say yes, and the review requires a deadline, PLEASE for the love of chocolate and peanut butter, tell me in the comment section. I give you a space for it, use it up!
  5. My receiving the book also does NOT GUARANTEE a review. I really want to share the books I love because I know my audience. We’ve been together a long time, so I don’t want to break that trust.
  6. I will make every effort to give a review. Please know that review will be an honest one. (Unless I truly couldn’t finish it.)
  7. I will accept books in the following formats: Kindle, (Mobi or PDF), hardcover, and paperback. I really love to hold a book in my hands so I always aim for a hard copy over digital.

Thank you for taking the time to read and fill out this form. It’s my goal to make this process as easy as possible.

Hi there!

I’m Nikki and I’m thrilled to have you here. I’m powered by a good chai latte, loads of chocolate, and humor. Here at Know-it-all Nikki, I dish up honest conversations about self-care and mental health. I also share living with a congenital heart defect, my love of books, knitting, midlife, and life as a Buckeye exploring The Last Frontier. So, pull up a seat, grab your tea, and let’s spill some tea, have a lot of laughs, and a few good cries. To learn more about what makes me tick, CLICK HERE

Some people would see this and say, "my God what a Some people would see this and say, "my God what a mess!" But I know the truth; it's September 2nd and I am one day late to making new batches of chai latte and hot chocolate mixes.
Why? Because #itsfallyall 
I know it may be sweltering where you are but for me, this is the unofficial start to my favorite season. Does that make me a basic bitch? Maybe, but I don't care.

That's right! There's a new post on the blog! I've That's right! There's a new post on the blog! I've wanted to write this one for awhile but wasn't quite sure how I felt. Then a conversation with a friend on Monday turned on the light bulb in my head and it was... EUREKA 💡. Has this ever happened to you?

When you're trying to find something to eat for lu When you're trying to find something to eat for lunch and didn't bring the big bag in to carry your wallet and phone, you decide you want a plastic basket like the one(s) @heatherspinsayarn and your daughter from another mother has. And once you have said basket, you get your lunch and checkout...

But THEN you decide the basket oils perfect for taking only the essentials into the library so you fill it with your WIP, the jerky your bought, pens, your journal, phone, wallet, and keys. And now you feel all minimalist even though the big bag is still in the car with everything else. 🤣
I decided today to clean out my bag. And by "bag", I decided today to clean out my bag. And by "bag", I mean the giant @landsend tote bag I received when I went to the last ever GOOD Type-A Mom conference in 2017.

1 office clamp
1 small paper clip
1 really awesome microfiber eyeglass cleaner (I can share a link if you want it)

My office has no door. If I'm in the middle of wor My office has no door. If I'm in the middle of work, a phone call, or the @stitchingthemilestogether podcast there are extreme measures I need to take in order to get some privacy.

The curtain is held closed by office binder clips (not just for files and potato chip bags anymore!) On the other side if the curtain is a baby gate because dogs are like moose and they will not be held back by binder clips.

Not the most flattering picture I've ever taken so Not the most flattering picture I've ever taken so you MUST know how much I love and miss Nickles Maple Twist Sweet Rolls. These were a staple growing up in Ohio and my kids love them too.
.
Now, of course I can't find them here in Alaska so when @heatherspinsayarn talked about ordering them for the station, I may have let out the saddest, lowest sigh on the planet. Heather pitied me so much she sent me a maple twist sweet roll package.
.
She requested a picture and this is probably the best evidence I can provide. I promise the moment I began chewing, I was smiling like a fool (with my mouth closed of course). .

After an abysmal birthday month, it's time to rese After an abysmal birthday month, it's time to reset some things and get myself into a better headspace. 
.
But it isn't easy and I believe the words we use have the power to influence our mental health. Notice I use the words "Good choices"? That's because the word HABIT has negative connotations for me. 
.
It's doing something that I have chosen to do, over a habit I am enforcing on myself. I will be writing about this next week so be sure to check out the blog!
