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 →
Book Access When Stuck at Home
So many of us are trapped indoors per safety regulations - please stay inside, guys don’t be dumb. And even if you’re getting out because of work or care obligations your library might be closed. So here is how I wanted to talk about accessing books while at home. I’d like to add this works... Continue Reading →
Self-Isolation Recommendations: Just a little light reading
So it’s a bad time in the world, we can all agree on that. So I thought I’d make two posts - one talks about how to get easier access to books while trapped inside and one about some easy and light reads to get into that will help distract from the mess of the... Continue Reading →
February Wrap-up Pt 1
The first full month with my daughter was a learning experience. We had to find our new normal - for the time being, till I return to work - and heal up. I swear those first two weeks of her being home were the hardest thing I've ever done (including childbirth), but we're starting to... Continue Reading →
Thoughts: Turning Darkness Into Light by Marie Brennan
My reading is restricted these days almost exclusively to my Kindle. So I'm not being too picky when it comes to things that look interesting - and are on sale. Turning Darkness Into Light by Marie Brennan is the start of a series that follows up the Natural History of Dragons series she completed a... Continue Reading →
Series Thoughts: Fruits Basket
Everyone should be impressed - I have managed to finish a series. This is unusual for me, especially during such a stressful time as the past 4 months have been. I got lucky and was able to get most of the series through my library and the last 5 volumes my friend let me borrow... Continue Reading →
Thoughts : The Epic Crush of Genie Lo by F.C. Yee
I'm sure the title of this one was meant to be a double meaning sort of thing. "Haha, look, she has a crush on someone who is epic and also she can crush things in an epic fashion!" But I 100% think that missed it's mark. I remember hearing about this originally and thinking -... Continue Reading →
Thoughts: Exit Strategy by Martha Wells
I'm terrible at keeping up with series. Unless they're a comic series where it's a fast read you can bet I hardly ever do finish it. I am more than happy to admit that's because I don't want to be disappointed by follow up books. If I enjoy a story I don't want to read... Continue Reading →
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 →
Comics & Manga Wrap-up for January 2020
Most of what I read this month was Fruits Basket, though I picked up a few other things in my down time between reads. I also decided to DNF a series over the course of a month, ah well! I’ll start off with the single volume I read, Volume 5 of A Bride’s Story... Continue Reading →
