Top Ten Tuesday (4/18/23)
Happy Tuesday my lovelies! It’s been quite the day so far, so this post is up later than I would have preferred, but sometimes that’s just the way it is.

Book Review: Fairy Tale by Stephen King
Legendary storyteller Stephen King goes deep into the well of his imagination in this spellbinding novel about a seventeen-year-old boy who inherits the keys to a parallel world where good and evil are at war, and the stakes could not be higher—for their world or ours. Charlie Reade looks like a regular high school kid, great at baseball and football, a decent student. But he carries a heavy load. His mom was killed in a hit-and-run accident when he was ten, and grief drove his dad to drink. Charlie learned how to take care of himself—and his dad. Then, when…

Book Blogger Hop (4/5/23)
Oh MAN, it’s been so long since I’ve participated in one of these! Back in the day (this blog is now… 13 years old?) I used to participate in the weekly hop all the time! It’s a great way to meet new friends, and a lot of fun to read other people’s answers to the question. I can’t wait to join in again! So let’s go! This week’s question is:Do you spend your lunchtime reading? Ah, for the first time in my life I’m actually going to have to answer no to this question. Now, let me elaborate. Once upon…

Can’t Wait Wednesday (4/5/23)
Happy official Spring y’all! Or, at least it is here hahaha. I’ve been waiting for ages for the weather to get nice enough to throw open the windows all day, and we’re finally there. While the rain might come back at some point to throw off my plans, so far I’m very much enjoying the nice weather. If it stays consistent, it’ll be planting season soon too. I can’t wait! My book choice this week is one that I’ve been eyeing ever since I saw that T.J. Klune had a new book out soon! I LOVE KLUNE’S WRITING. Yes, it…

Hello, and happy April my friends! I’m currently at the beginning of a twelve day break from work, and it was something that I desperately needed. I’m not even going to lie. I feel like since late last year I’ve just been scurrying from item to item and not actually taking a break at all. (As you can tell from my lack of posts here.) So I’m going to use this time to pre-write some posts for all you, finish the books I’ve been reading forever (I’m looking at you Hell Bent), and just rest. I actually am writing this…

A Rainy Tuesday Indeed
It is once again a very rainy Tuesday, and I’m LIVING FOR IT. I know that most of LA is over the rain now. But I remember living here when it used to rain like this all the time and I honestly missed it. I know it can be a nuisance, but it’s also so cozy too. And not having to water my garden and all my outdoor plants constantly is also a win hahaha. I can’t wait until it starts to warm up a bit, and my roses bloom. I’m sure that they’re very thankful for all of this…
