It's book tag time!!! Persuasion is one of my favorite novels (and tied with Emma for my favorite Jane Austen novel), so imagine my delight when I learned Amrita – of Amrita by the Book – created her own tag to go with the buddy read she's hosting! Hearing Amrita's own answers was a lot … Continue reading The Persuasion Tag: A Jane Austen Book Tag

Reading Roundup #8: Murder by Death!
Ready time was sadly limited this week, but I managed to devour a few more Gaslight Mysteries, and I've several books in-progress that I'll finish soon – hopefully in time to include them in next week's Roundup! "Gaslight Mystery" books #2-4 by Victoria Thompson: So... I'm kinda obsessed with these books now. Sarah and Frank … Continue reading Reading Roundup #8: Murder by Death!
Reading the Alphabet: D is for Daddy-Long-Legs
This week, we're reaching for an old favorite – the ever-so-charming Daddy-Long-Legs by Jean Webster! I discovered this book as a child, rummaging through my grandmother's books (in fact, I believe my copy was her mother's copy first!), and though it's nothing much really – just a bit of comic fluff – it holds a warm, … Continue reading Reading the Alphabet: D is for Daddy-Long-Legs
Reading Roundup #7: Can You Do the Fandango?
Why yes, we have been busy this week! The best thing about work holidays is all the reading time! And with the exception of a Bridgerton marathon on Christmas day, I didn't waste a minute of reading time (not that watching Bridgerton was a waste, of course). We've got an old favorite in the ranks … Continue reading Reading Roundup #7: Can You Do the Fandango?
Reading Roundup #6: Christmas and Trouble
Merry Christmas Eve Eve! It was a fairly light reading week for me, but now that I'm officially on break for the holidays (huzzah!), I'm hoping to dive into that pile of TBRs on my bedside table. Still, even if this week was light, it was fun. Girl of Nightmares by Kendare Blake: You know … Continue reading Reading Roundup #6: Christmas and Trouble
Reading the Alphabet: C is for A Christmas Carol
Did you see this coming? Because I didn't! I put off writing this Reading the Alphabet installment because I just couldn't work up the enthusiasm for any of my potential "C" books. And then I looked at my list, looked at the calendar, and realized... well, it must be fate, right? Or at the very … Continue reading Reading the Alphabet: C is for A Christmas Carol
Reading Roundup #5: It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like… Cressmouth?
As promised, we've got some more variety this week! I'm still working my way through the "Troubleshooters," but I also dipped my toe into fantasy and even horror. Plus a little historical Christmas romance for funsies. Once Upon a Duke by Erica Ridley: I'd heard good things about this one, but I'll be honest – … Continue reading Reading Roundup #5: It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like… Cressmouth?
The Book Addiction Tag 2020
Two things you should know about me (among a few others, sure, but we'll start with these): 1) I'm an opportunist when it comes to book-talk, and 2) I'm a fan of the booktube channel Amrita by the Book. So when Amrita did a video for The Book Addiction 2020 tag, I decided I'd hop … Continue reading The Book Addiction Tag 2020
Reading Roundup #4: Troubleshooting with the Scarlet Pimpernel
Hello hello! Last week was pretty hectic, so, as you may have noticed, I didn't post my weekly review in my Reading the Alphabet series, but that doesn't mean I wasn't reading. There's not much variety in this week's post, but I've already got a few reads going that should mix it up next time. … Continue reading Reading Roundup #4: Troubleshooting with the Scarlet Pimpernel
Reading Roundup #3: Christmas With the Rakes
Welcome to Decemberrrrrrrr! Mother Nature decided to usher in the new month with a cold snap, so I've been huddled up inside with hot soup, soft blankets, and cozy romance novels – including a couple of Christmas books! But don't worry, it didn't get too warm and fuzzy in here because I balanced it out … Continue reading Reading Roundup #3: Christmas With the Rakes
