Gardening Is Good For The Soul
I know I went a bit MIA this week. I promised myself that I’d be kind to my reader brain and, since all I wanted to do was do a re-read of The Bear and the Nightingale, I haven’t had much inspiration to fuel any posts.

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? (1/14/19)
Oh, wow. How the heck have 13 days of the year already flown by? It feels like the first two weeks of January barely count at all, because everyone is trying to get back from vacation, get back to real life, and settle back into the work they left behind. It’s been a weird transition for me, because I feel like a new person this year. I’ve been calmly keeping up with my goals, and reading like a mad woman. I think books are my definite solace this year, and it helps that I’m taking breaks when I need it.…
