For those who aren’t in the know, I am a huge geek. This weekend is the release of Dr. Strange and the Multiverse of Madness and to say I’ve been waiting years for this is an understatement. I was raised on a healthy diet of Star Wars, Star Trek, X-Files, Musicals, PBS, British sci-fi…you get the idea. I … Continue reading Cosplay All the Way
April conventions
Hello friends. How has your April been? I know I missed a week this month, a week where I would normally post my bi-monthly musings, but I had just gotten back from a convention. It was the first convention out of state I’ve attended since 2019 so it was an exciting time. 221B Con, a … Continue reading April conventions
Mr. Darcy’s deeds.
Welcome back friends! No, I haven’t gone anywhere, I just…apparently took a week off to recuperate from my first out of state convention in 2 years. I’ll post about that next week but for today let’s discuss something light and fun to read, Engaging Mr. Darcy by Rachel John. This is going to be short … Continue reading Mr. Darcy’s deeds.
America’s Retail Wasteland
There’s something unnerving about abandoned places. Buildings, houses that you know at one time were teaming with light and laughter and people and now they’re shadows. Masses of empty, forlorn, forgotten places where everyone is gone, and it is just a ghost of its former self. While abandoned houses are both creepy and beautiful, there’s something … Continue reading America’s Retail Wasteland
The Personalities of Writers: J.D. Robb
Happy April everyone! This is not an April Fools Joke. I never got the hang of April Fools Day. So, let’s dive in! I’ll never post a review of Nora Roberts’ body of work, or new releases, because, let’s face it, there are more professional and much better paid critics who are paid to read and … Continue reading The Personalities of Writers: J.D. Robb
When you’re everything for everyone but nothing for yourself.
Last month two anticipated books on my pre-order list dropped and I was so excited. So apologies for a BOTM book not being mentioned this month but Alexandria Bellefleur’s final chapter in her trilogy just dropped and like that, I dropped everything to read it. Okay, listen to it because Lauren Sweet reading these three … Continue reading When you’re everything for everyone but nothing for yourself.
Second hand anxiety
Audiobooks, or programs like Audible are wonderful for readers. It opens worlds for people who can no longer read or have reading disabilities. It allows us to read multiple books at one time. It allows us to read books during times when we normally couldn’t. On the drive to and from work or driving anywhere for that matter. While … Continue reading Second hand anxiety
Sowing the Seeds of a new favorite series.
I love a good detective story. I am not usually all that up on futuristic science fiction though. But give me a good murder mystery and an equally detective/ murder cop who gets thrown in the middle of an investigation and you have my attention. Until this month, my go-to murder cop was Lt. Eve … Continue reading Sowing the Seeds of a new favorite series.
Spring (not) Cleaning
According to Phil, we have six more weeks of winter. As of this post, it’s actually more like two or three weeks left. Plus, one more week until Daylight Savings Time and we lose that extra hour but gain and extra hour of sunlight each day. It’s a trade off I’ll happily take. It’s been a little … Continue reading Spring (not) Cleaning
Some Like it Spicy
From a British baking show to the American cooking show. I wasn’t expecting a theme this month, but here we are. Love and other Disasters by Anita Kelly is my Book of the Month Club review for February. A sweet, utterly lovely story that, instead of dealing with a large amount of contestants, it focuses … Continue reading Some Like it Spicy
