Happy Boxing Day, bookish friends! Whether you celebrate Christmas or not, I hope you had a lovely day and that your winter is filled with comfort and cheer. I was on my own this year, so I celebrated by reading romance novels, watching reruns of I Love Lucy, and working on this delightful Bookish Christmas … Continue reading Bookish Christmas Tag
I visited family this past weekend, and while I love them, they do interfere with my reading! It's rather unsettling actually. I need my alone time! 😂 But I'm safely ensconced in my own little apartment once more, and I did manage to sneak in some good books last week and in the past couple … Continue reading Reading Roundup #39: Closing Chapters
We're taking a few dark turns, this week – some humorous and some horrific – and it's a roaring, adventurous good time. But the true thread running through it all is actually family: the ones who stick by you, the ones who hurt you, and, most important, the family you choose for yourself. Sometimes that … Continue reading Reading Roundup #38: All in the Family
I like to think I read pretty broadly across genres and classifications, especially in the past few years, but it's also true I have my favorites. When I want comfort, familiarity, and faith that I'll find something I like, I usually reach for historical romance, murder mysteries, or 19th century novels by women authors. But … Continue reading Gateway to the Unknown: Recommendations for Genre Exploration!
Hello! I am back! It's been a strange couple of weeks but with lots of reading – so much, in fact, that I'm cutting out a few titles I don't have much to say about and just focusing on the good stuff. Because, much as I love dragging a book that deserves to be dragged, … Continue reading Reading Roundup #37: Bickering Ever After
We're a little late this week because I've been too busy reading to be writing! But I'm here now, and I have some goodies for you. I'm going to try to speed through these because I have even more books waiting as we speak. Jump in and hang on because here we go! Paladin's Grace … Continue reading Reading Roundup #35: Magic of the Heart and Mind
There is a trope we in South Korean drama-watching circles call "noble idiocy." It's basically what happens when Character A decides all on their own that Character B should not be with them for Character B's own good. Maybe Character A is ill. Maybe they're a soldier on the front lines of a war. Or … Continue reading Reading Roundup #31: Theories and Tropes
I always like to look for some thread running through my week's reading, and I can usually find one! But this week, each book is pretty different, even if two are murder mysteries in the bunch. We have a high-octane YA scifi-adventure, a frantic race against time (and the courts), a shadowy period mystery, and … Continue reading Reading Roundup #29: A Rising Danger
Well, the vacation is over, and it's back to work! A few things blew up in my absence, and coworkers, as ever, are out to make my job harder, but the good news is, I still have my books! Truly, disappearing into a good book and forgetting the rest of the world, even for a … Continue reading Reading Roundup #27: The Unpleasantness at High Lonesome
Happy Wednesday! I ran away this week, and I was so busy sight-seeing and devouring delicious food, that I didn't finish many books. But the ones I did read were all enjoyable, and just what my tired brain needed. And as promised, things are getting murder-y again. *ominous chuckle* "Lord Peter Wimsey" books #2-) by … Continue reading Reading Roundup #26: Vacation Reads
