Mar
2020
I put together a short book tag for International Woman’s Day. Anyone who wants to, jump in, I’ve still not fully figured out this tagging business. I choose to stick to books by women and about women for this one, but there are no hard and fast rules here. I

I was planning to write up a review today, but life got busy and reddit got … interesting, taking up all my evening. Still, I did this little bit of math for this thread by Krista D Ball, referincing that tweet with the advice for authors to read ONE book published

2020
Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish and is now hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. Each week a new theme is suggested for bloggers to participate in. This week’s prompt is an easy one, which is great because I’m too into my book atm to do much. I’m
Rip-Off – edited by Gardner Dozois

Rip-Off is a very interesting project. An anthology of 13 fantasy and sci-fi short stories starting from the challenge of ripping off their favorite opening line for a classic piece of fiction. For this review I’ll talk a bit about the ones that stood out to me more. The stories

This has been a month for lists. I made lists, and lists of lists, and top ten lists, and currently working on my bingo round up lists. You need lists? I'm your girl. I went to a one day calligraphy course which was lots of fun, exhausting too, but I've

A spoiler free review of The Demons We See and The Nightmare We Know, the first two books in The Darsk Abyss of Our Sins series, by Krista D Ball. I inhaled The Nightmare We Know, finishing it less than 24 hours after I read The Demons We See. I
Top Ten Tuesday Characters I’d Follow On Social Media

Feb
2020
Book characters I’d Follow On Social Media sounded easy, but this is turning out to be a tough one. Mostly because my age is showing, and I’m not really familiar with the cool new social media. I decided it might help my indecision to try and figure out one character/social
The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells Review

Feb
2020
I listened to all 4 available Murdebot novellas in a row, so I’m not gonna try to review each separately (my memory gets instantly fuzzy) and just keep it all vague and spoiler free. Also, I loved this series, and the more I think about it now, while writing this

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish and is now hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. Each week a new theme is suggested for bloggers to participate in. That Artsy Reader Girl posted a handy definition for a book hangover: 1. The inability to start a new book because

This review does not contain spoilers for the earlier books, for reasons which will soon become clear. A bit odd of you to be reading the review for the end of a series you haven’t read, but you do you. I finally finished listening to The Heartstrikers series by Rachel

2020
This is my “random noblewoman” Cosplay mistcloak from Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson. I really wanted to cosplay a character from a fantasy book and this was really the obvious choice for something easily recognizable. For full artistic freedom, she lives sometime between era 1 and era 2, just so I could go with the kind
