Another week, another bunch of books that are all over the place! There were even more I read this week that were... *ahem* out there... but I decided to just include the ones I had something to say about/particularly enjoyed. And with fairy stories (beg pardon — goblin stories), murder mysteries, and romance across the … Continue reading Reading Roundup #48: Beefcake & Fairy Tales
Hello, friends and neighbors! It's been fairly quiet around here — in fact, I wondered if I would have enough to talk about for a Roundup this week, but I managed to squeeze in a few goodies. During a week with ups and downs, revisiting an old favorite and crossing off two more that have … Continue reading Reading Roundup #46: Timing is Everything
I'm playing catch-up this week because the past two weeks were so Much that I had no energy for blogging. But my brain seems to be recovering, so while I have its attention, let's review! It's a bit of mixed bag this week, but all of these stories have one of my favorite things in … Continue reading Reading Roundup #45: The Art of Longing
When I tell you this was a great week for reading, I mean it was a great week for reading. These books are about the lengths to which we'll go to protect ourselves and those important to us – and the people who are right there with us through it all. If you're looking for … Continue reading Reading Roundup #43: Sneakin’ Around With You
Ah-ha! Thought I was skipping the Roundup this week, did you? Well, I'm not! Honestly, I just got busy with work this week and forgot about it until today.

We've got a good dose of romance, of course, plus … Continue reading Reading Roundup #42: Fantasies Makes the World Go ‘Round

The Ghost Bride by Yangsze … Continue reading Reading Roundup #41: Spooks and Spectres
If there's one thing that reliably complicates war and politics, it's love, as our leads find out this week. Maybe your new partner is the mortal enemy of your father... or maybe he's just a messianic figure, leading your people into a new age (I think that'd be complicated, right?). Or maybe she's just a … Continue reading Reading Roundup #40: Passion & Politics
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
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
