Spoons and What I Do With Them

I think for this first day of Blaugust I want to talk a little about how I’m spending my time these days. I would be remiss if I didn’t start with why I have so much time to spend, so I’ll just explain where I am health-wise first. The Spoon Question Very often I’ll mention “not having enough spoons” for an activity and be asked what that means. Other people have explained this better than I can. But in essence,…

Inn-Between Books: Fantasy With A Dark Core

Inn-Between Books: Fantasy With A Dark Core

Years ago in the book blogging world, I recall a weekly feature literally called: “It’s Wednesday! What Are You Reading?” It did what it said on the tin, you’d just talk about what you’re reading that week. Heck, it may still be around, I don’t know.

12 Books For 2022 Challenge

Hello blog friends! Today I wanted to talk a little about this “12 Books for 2022” challenge I took on back in December. The template by @shadowbooker on Instagram was going around on Twitter and while I usually fail horribly at challenges and readathons, finding them more pressure than fun, I figured heck it. It might be interesting to see what people recommend and you know what, it was! Yes, I’m a tiny bit late with this but I make…

Reading Become My Comfort - Dragons and Whimsy
Reading Became My Comfort

Reading Became My Comfort

Hi blog friends! Right now like the perfect time to switch off and just talk about books, so I’m going to do just that. Turn off the news, grab a cuppa, and let’s have a little chat. How have you all been? I’ve been mostly good. Found myself unable to write for several months and I’m still kind of there, but sometimes you just need to ride an urge into the sunset while you have it, you know? So here…
