New Arrivals!

I haven't been focused on acquiring books lately because I've been trying to get down my TBR pile (ha. ha.), but there are always new things coming out and books that I'm interested in checking out so I have picked up a few new things here and there. I've only gotten one new ARC - … Continue reading New Arrivals!

This Week in Reading: More Mysteriousness, Apocalyptic Plagues, Monstrous Gentlewomen, and Eli Monpress

So, as I predicted I'm still working on finishing up two books from last week's list. At least I feel like my goal was realistic knowing how busy I was going to be. But still, I think I had a pretty good week (I did actually read more--got a bit distracted by some romance) and … Continue reading This Week in Reading: More Mysteriousness, Apocalyptic Plagues, Monstrous Gentlewomen, and Eli Monpress

This Week in Reading: Ghosts, Mysteries, More Dresden, and Apocalyptic Plagues

Friday Favorite Five: Guilty Pleasure Reads

  Favorite Five Guilty Pleasure Reads First of all....I still haven't had time to make a new banner. Whoops! Eventually. I kind of dislike the term 'guilty pleasure'. Because as far as books go, why are we made to feel ashamed of the things we like to read? If you like something, you like it. … Continue reading Friday Favorite Five: Guilty Pleasure Reads

This Week in Reading: Finishing up Chaos Mages, Lady Astronauts, Ghosts, Witches, and even more Mages!

Harris, Traitor's Blade by Sebastien de Castell, and most of Practical Magic by Alice Hoffman all in audio. I also read Record of a Spaceborn Few by Becky … Continue reading This Week in Reading: Finishing up Chaos Mages, Lady Astronauts, Ghosts, Witches, and even more Mages!

The Fancy Tea Party Book Club

I've been meaning to write a post about this for a while now but keep getting distracted. Whoops!   I'm not only obsessed with books, but I'm a bit obsessed with tea and tea cups and other assorted china. I love going to antique stores and picking up new things for my collection. Well, after … Continue reading The Fancy Tea Party Book Club

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! But, some of that is starting to wind down a bit and hopefully August won't be quite as crazy. I'm disappointed in the number of reviews I got out this … Continue reading Monthly Wrap Up: July 2018
