Come, dearies, and prepare yourselves for an ugly truth about the TBR: sometimes, just sometimes, it’s a place books go to die. More of a book graveyard, really. Or maybe not die.

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 […]

Look, I know Christmas is still months away, but it’s the early bookdragon who gets the book, right? I’m pretty sure that’s how that saying goes. So I love books. That’s no secret. But I also love not spending money on myself. I blame my Scots-Irish roots and also my grandmother, who I apparently inherited […]
Title: The Doll FactoryAuthor: Elizabeth MacnealPublication Date: August 13, 2019Publisher: Atria/Emily BestlerFormat: NetGalley eARC Goodreads Amazon Book Depository I will always show up for dark, scheming, less-than-sane characters who I would never want to meet in real life, thank you.
