The second half of April was just slow. I read quite a few graphic novels but the novel reading slowed down. For a few weeks in there I didn’t have a dedicated eReader, which honestly bummed me out (till my hubby treated me to a new one) and I just didn’t have a lot of... Continue Reading →
OWLS Wrap-up or Blowing a TBR out of the Water
I knew when I made that TBR that I wasn’t going to be able to stick to it. I may have still managed to pass some classes though! Let’s take a look and see. So my TBR as I recall posting it: Dragon Heart Wolf Hall The Dinosaur Lords Thrawn A Land so Wild Prophets... Continue Reading →
Thoughts: Daisy Jones and The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid
We're swerving way out of my usual range with this one. You know those books you immediately think 'That's not for me' but every one goes on and on? Eventually you break and try it? That was this one for me and boy howdy did I have a strong reaction. Daisy Jones and the Six... Continue Reading →

Thoughts: Shades of Milk and Honey by Mary Robinette Kowal
This has been on my TBR for ages. I love Jane Austen - no surprise there, I think a great deal of bookish readers my age do, and I love magic so combine those two flavors and you have a winner. I unfortunately never managed to get my hands on a copy so while feeding... Continue Reading →
February Haul/Unhaul
This has been a slow month. I had a baby on the 27th of January so I haven't been out of the house much or done much shopping. I've also read a lot of things on Kindle as opposed to any of my physical books so that's limited my intake as well. But let's see... Continue Reading →
