Through my liberal practice of DNFing, I mostly read books that I enjoyed. There were still a few books that disappointed me. I read each of these books in its entirety without enjoyment. The Ruthless Lady's Guide to Wizardry by C. M. Waggoner I have mostly wiped this book from my memory. All I remember… Continue reading Top Ten Least Favorite Books of 2022
I'm unlikely to discover a new favorite in the final days of December and if I do, I'll write an addendum. These are my top ten favorite books I read in the last year. The Councillor by E. J.

I have been doing my best not to think about climate change. Then we got 80-degree weather for almost a week in the middle of October. I would not like to be confronted with this reality, thank you. Autumn's a really hard season for me. On the one hand, I love the colder weather and… Continue reading October Wrap-Up: Starring Seasonal Depression
Well. It's been a couple of weeks, that's for sure. I have been trying to ward off full-on panic for about a month with mixed success. As I mentioned in my last post, my brain is soup.

I miscounted. I swore I'd written about my top ten DNFs of last year. Turns out I forgot one. (I guess I got too riled up about Payback's a Witch.) My tenth 2021 DNF gets its very own post. Meet Cute Diary, you're up. Apologies in advance to those who liked it. I sure didn't.… Continue reading Top Ten DNFs of 2021: Surprise addendum
Happy December! As always, I'm not quite sure how we got here! Last month was jam-packed with write-ins, family dinners, and karaoke. It was so packed I'm going to start with some life updates. Life Updates I got my first tattoo. Don't worry about it. Originally, my writing group had talked about getting matching tattoos.… Continue reading November Wrap-up: Turning the corner
Am I doing a book tag for a book I haven't read yet? I AM. If it helps, I own the first volume! (I'll read it...eventually.) This tag was created by El @ El's Book Reviews, Andee @ Mouse Reads, and Finn @ Evidently Bookish. I found it at Althea is Reading. Here we goooooo...… Continue reading Cute Mutants Book Tag
