Mid-Month Wrap-up for December
So it's been a slow month. I'm trying to keep up and do a little bit of reading here and there as I can. I do have a few things to talk about though, and a few little digital purchases to list! So a few things I've picked up on sale, received one as a... Continue Reading →
Thoughts : Buddhism: An Introduction to the Buddha’s Life, Teaches and Practices by Joan Duncan Oliver
I knew next to nothing about Buddhism. Pretty much the base level of pop-culture references plus a few fly-away facts I'd picked up while studying Japanese in college. One afternoon while picking up my holds I broke my own library rules and browsed the new non-fiction releases shelf and grabbed this just for fun. Frankly,... Continue Reading →

Graff Source : Library BookTL:DR : Hits hard, but is very important Thoughts: Even know, weeks later, this book is lingering on my mind.

Thoughts: Moan: Anonymous Essays on Female Orgasm
So. This is a topic of which I can safely say I've not read any non-fiction about. I've read plenty of romance with plenty of moans, plenty of orgasms but nothing within the non-fiction realm that really looks at people's experiences or opinions. I figured there is a first time for everything though right?! Moan:... Continue Reading →

My copy in particular had a large printed emblem that... Continue Reading →
November & December Haul
  I managed to unhaul two bags worth of books in my recent ‘catalog my books’ project. I’ve stopped buying books new unless I’ve tried it (library checkouts, samples online) previously. The used books though, that’s where I hit a hole. These are usually things I’ve heard about or sound interesting or I’ve already read.... Continue Reading →
Thoughts on Old Things! A Double Book Wrap-Up
My reading is slow, so slow this spanking new 2018 so the new format I'm going to shoot for here is similar books talked about together in bunches of twos and threes. There will not be videos for the foreseeable future, but I have hopefully returned to this for the time being! Onward! Let's look... Continue Reading →
