The week where time stands still
Am I the only one who constantly feels like the week between Christmas and New Year moves like absolute molasses? I always end up working. Everyone else is pretty much always on vacation. It just feels like I’m this little island who is waiting patiently for everyone else to return. *sigh* Ah well. At least it gives me time to plan for the blog in 2023. As you can tell, 2022 saw this blog sitting on the back burner a LOT. This was the year we went back to work in the office, and the little work/life balance that I…

The Holiday Season Crazies
Ever since November started, it feels like things have been crazy busy. Which, in a way, is great! It’s made work fly by and also made it so that I had the best time at Thanksgiving. However since I’ve been so unorganized as well a lot of stuff has fallen to the wayside. Including, alas, my reading. I was aiming for 52 books this year and I’ve only made it to 46. That’s pretty good though, in my opinion! And since I’ve had more gems than duds, it’s hard to be mad about it. Now that I have some planners…

Book Review and Giveaway: The Guardian by Jen Colly
Prepared to die...fighting to live. Savard was in a mood to die, but when a human insists on saving his life, death is no longer an immediate option. He knew of no species – human, vampire, or demon – that could see him while in his invisible Spirit form. Unique to this world, this woman's singularity was a danger to the entire vampire race. Waking behind bars in an underground vampire city was not how Sera envisioned her night drive ending. She has come to expect nothing from those who pass through her life, but this man, dying on the…

A Common Cold
Being the responsible human I am, I went to go and get my COVID booster and my flu shot before I went on vacation. I knew I’d be seeing my baby niece, and so I was like “Let me just make sure I’ll stay well!” to convince myself to get shots. Friends, I was so proud of myself. And then I got a cold. Oh, and this cold. Awful. As I type this I keep having to take breaks to sneeze and wipe my eyes. It looks like I got punched in the nose. Ack. It’s a whole mess. I…

A bunch of utter nonsense.
Yup, that’s what this post is. A bunch of utter nonsense. I wanted to post in here but I couldn’t figure what I wanted to write and so… you get this bit of rambling. Or, perhaps I could tell you what I’m reading right now? Yes, let’s do that. It feels less boring than going on about my garden plans for this weekend. Haha. I’m in that mode again where I’m picking up many books and reading them simultaneously. It’s been a long time since I’ve been here, and it honestly feels kind of weird! Also nice, in a way.…

Book Review: Book Lovers by Emily Henry
Nora Stephens’ life is books—she’s read them all—and she is not that type of heroine. Not the plucky one, not the laidback dream girl, and especially not the sweetheart. In fact, the only people Nora is a heroine for are her clients, for whom she lands enormous deals as a cutthroat literary agent, and her beloved little sister Libby. Which is why she agrees to go to Sunshine Falls, North Carolina for the month of August when Libby begs her for a sisters’ trip away—with visions of a small-town transformation for Nora, who she’s convinced needs to become the heroine…
