Sunday Sum-Up
Someday I am going to look back through my bullet journal and wonder why I wrote "Who is the patron saint of umbrellas?". Or perhaps not. I have always had rotten luck with umbrellas. It's been a week of clouds and rain, and especially so on my day off. I decided to walk over to … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up
LotR Reread: In Which the Company Meets a Tall, Dark Stranger

Try a Chapter Challenge, pt. 2
Last week, I posted Part One of the 'Try a Chapter Challenge' and talked about the books I had chosen as part of the challenge.

LotR Reread: Home is Behind, Weirdness is Ahead
Chapter VI- The Old Forest I’ll be the first to admit that I find forests a little creepy. I’ve lived on the Great Plains all my life. We don’t do vast expanses of trees. Hiking through the forests of northern Minnesota and Colorado is eerie enough. How do you know there isn’t a bear … Continue reading LotR Reread: Home is Behind, Weirdness is Ahead
Try a Chapter Challenge, pt. 1
I've seen the 'Try a Chapter Challenge' on several BookTube channels, and because I have several books that have been sitting on my shelves for quite some time, unread and routinely forgotten about, I thought I would give it a try. The idea of the challenge is to read the first chapter from a book … Continue reading Try a Chapter Challenge, pt. 1
September Summary and October Preview
Farewell, September! Except for a mid-month heat wave, this was a pretty great month. Cooler weather, the official beginning of Fall, a couple of days off for short-range travel, and the chance to get a lot of things in order.
