Monthly Wrap Up: July 2018
July has been another busy month for me with lots of social engagements and a whirlwind of doctors appts -- some planned and some unexpected!

This Week in Reading: Apocalypse and Magic Powers, More Dresden, Historical Fantasy, and Fantastic Curses.
Another busy week last week! I did manage to read a couple of books but, as usual lately, didn't finish all of the books on my list. I didn't get a chance to start Star Touched by A.L. Kaplan yet, so this is still on my list from last week. I really am looking forward … Continue reading This Week in Reading: Apocalypse and Magic Powers, More Dresden, Historical Fantasy, and Fantastic Curses.
