Mid-grade has been so hit or miss for me lately, […]
It’s time again to ask ourselves the three W’s:Would you soul-pact with an animal?What animal would you choose?Would you commit the taboo? Wait, no, that’s not right. We ask these three W’s:What are you currently reading?What did you recently finish reading?What do you think you’ll read next? WWW Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by […]
It may come as no surprise that I have a really short attention span, and so books have about 30 seconds to grab my attention between the blurb and first lines before I wander off to chase butterflies. This is assuming, of course, that I find a random book in the wild, not one that […]

That’s a bit dramatic. It’s more like purgatory. Eventually, they’ll be read. Probably. What I’m saying is sometimes books get put on my […]

I’ve actually had the suggestion made to me that I start charging for entry, and if that didn’t include having people traipse through my mess, I would consider it. I mean, that pretty much sums up my August perfectly. We are now up to five kittens, four dogs, three cats, and two outside strays. Send […]
