Hello, my lovelies. It’s Sunday evening, much much later than I usually write these. Somehow the day got away from me, lost in a haze of books and Bookclubs and cookie baking. And dreadfully disappointing football. The week seemed to go by rather quickly, which is weird since I don’t really remember doing much. I… Continue reading Sunday Post: January 16, 2022

Week Twenty Seven: Eight Perfect Hours
Have you ever had eight perfect hours with someone you didn’t know? A first date, a train trip, an airport in a storm? I have. His name was Dante, and he was a friend of my brother’s who was invited to an end-of-summer cookout at my parents’ house. We were in our twenties, both in… Continue reading Week Twenty Seven: Eight Perfect Hours
LTB: Book Buying Bans
This week’s topic comes to us from JILLIAN THE BOOKISH BUTTERFLY who asks: DO BOOK BUYING BANS WORK FOR YOU? Prompts: The book community is full of consumerism. People want to not just read their favorite books, but own them as well. Sometimes this can get…a little out of hand. How do you control your… Continue reading LTB: Book Buying Bans
BBH: New Genres?
This week’s question comes Sam @ Another Book On the Shelf who asks: Do you have a genre you haven't read before but would like to? Not really, no. I have genres that I think I should read more of (Science Fiction, Non-Fiction) and I have a goal this year to learn more about (and… Continue reading BBH: New Genres?
Top Ten Tuesday: Ten Authors Who Deserve More Love
This week’s topic was supposed to be “Ten Most Recent Additions to My Book Collection,” but I haven’t bought more than a handful of books in the last eight years, so that is kind of a non-starter for me. I am on a very limited income, so I’m an all-library all-the-time girl these days. So,… Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday: Ten Authors Who Deserve More Love
Sunday Post: January 9, 2022
Hello, my lovelies. This week, the 52 homestead was transformed into a daggone winter wonderland! It’s been three years since we had any appreciable snow here in the DMV—at most, we have gotten a dusting here and there. But this week, we got close to a foot, between two different storms. I rather enjoyed it.… Continue reading Sunday Post: January 9, 2022
Love Your Library: December 2021
16 books this month, 1 #ARC, 10 from the library and 5 from Kindle Unlimited. My Christmas RomCom project results were…uneven. I loved four, liked three just fine, and thought that three were…eh. To be fair, I did not give it the full month (next year, I will plan better) and there were a ton… Continue reading Love Your Library: December 2021
LTB: 2022 Goals
Hi! How’s everyone doing today? Me, I’ve had a head cold for…well, I guess just four days, but wow, it feels like longer. And the medicine I am taking is making me sleeeeepy, so it will be a miracle if I don’t just, you know, narcolepse out of this post. If narcolepse isn’t a verb… Continue reading LTB: 2022 Goals
Week Twenty—Six: Duke, Actually
I had planned another book for this week’s review, but I got sick instead. The symptoms were similar enough to Omicron symptoms that I did get tested; results aren’t back till Sunday but a rapid test today was negative, so I’m going to stay isolated till Sunday, but I’m pretty sure that it’s just a… Continue reading Week Twenty—Six: Duke, Actually
TTT: Auto-Buy Authors
So, this is later than I try to post a This week’s Top Ten was supposed to be “Most Anticipated Books Releasing In the First Half of 2022”…but I sort of did that list three or four weeks ago with the “Books on My Winter 2021 To-read List” list. So, back to the archives, where… Continue reading TTT: Auto-Buy Authors
