Another week has come and gone, and it was fine. Nothing terrible happened, nothing amazing. Just a nice row of days with a bit of stress from work, which was nothing I couldn't handle with the application of coffee or a cookie at the end of the day. I stopped by the used bookstore downtown … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: January 23, 2022

The Rings of Power: Thoughts on the Teaser Trailer
Though I've known that Amazon has had a streaming show based on The Silmarillion for quite some time, there has been so little information available about it that I had shoved it to the back of my mind to make room for other pop culture. I don't find it fun to speculate about a show … Continue reading The Rings of Power: Thoughts on the Teaser Trailer
Books About Books
I love a good book about books. There's something comforting about other lives lived in books and knowing that somewhere out there, there are other people who share the same love of reading as me. Also, I'm always trying to get LA from Waking Up on the Wrong Side of Fifty to add more to … Continue reading Books About Books
Sunday Sum-Up: January 16, 2022
Last week was much better than the week before. No minor disasters, and a small snowstorm on Friday. Not too bad at all! Thanks to things being postponed due to rampant disease, I spent most of my evenings at home, reading, and watching Dune, which came out on DVD on Tuesday. I did go out … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: January 16, 2022

Sunday Sum-Up: January 9, 2021
I'm so glad last week is over. I had a lovely weekend. Three days off with nothing to do and weather that encouraged people to stay home (snowy and cold). I got extra sleep, I baked, I read, I got caught up on some TV shows. Overall, a great weekend. The rest of the week... … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: January 9, 2021

2021 Favorites: Fantasy
We come to it at last. My favorite genre: Fantasy. I don't know what it is about magical worlds that so captures my attention, but if I had to choose only one genre to read forevermore, it would be fantasy. I read a lot of great fantasy books last year. Most of my favorites of … Continue reading 2021 Favorites: Fantasy
2021 Favorites: Science Fiction
Once upon a time, I wanted to be an astrophysicist. But math and I do NOT get along, and so being a science fiction fan is the closest I'm going to get to space. I'm okay with this. There is significantly less higher math involved with reading science fiction novels. So in no particular order, … Continue reading 2021 Favorites: Science Fiction
