Sunday Sum-Up: April 11, 2021
It's been a rainy week around here. The first couple of days of the week were sunny and warm, and then it clouded over on Tuesday, started raining Wednesday afternoon, and kept raining until Thursday night. Then it rained again on Friday night. It's all rain, rain, rain. But this weekend has been absolutely lovely. … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: April 11, 2021
March Summary, April Preview
Yes, I know. We're a week into April, but sometimes I don't realize we're in a new month until we're a week into it. That's how I roll. Anyway. March. A good reading month, overall. Warm weather, lots of rain, otherwise not typically March-like because it's usually cold and snowy or full of thunderstorms. Now … Continue reading March Summary, April Preview
Birthday/March Bookhaul
So March was my birthday month, which means that I bought myself some books, and I received money (ostensibly for whatever, but we all know it went toward books), so there were trips to the bookstore for me, as well as a pre-order that I placed a couple of months ago. I bought some of … Continue reading Birthday/March Bookhaul
Sunday Sum-Up: April 4, 2021
I got my first Covid vaccination shot last week! At a grocery store, because 2021 is weird like that. I dressed up in my (mildly) frilly Steampunk-esque skirt and Edwardian replica shoes and hairstyle. It was glorious. One step closer to something like normal! I'm scheduled to get my second shot in a little under … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: April 4, 2021
StoryGraph Saturday: On Time and Water
StoryGraph Saturday is a weekly thing where I randomly choose a book from my To Read pile on StoryGraph and show it off to both remind myself that it’s there and to show it to you, Dear Reader, in case you might find it interesting, too. On Time and Water by Andri Snær Magnason, translated … Continue reading StoryGraph Saturday: On Time and Water
The Medieval Queens Book Tag
I saw this on One Book More, and could not resist doing it myself. Medieval queens being rather on brand for me and all. The tag was created by Jess from Jessticulates, so a Huzzah to her for creating it! Empress Matilda (1102-1167) After her father, Henry I, died naming her his heir, Matilda’s cousin, … Continue reading The Medieval Queens Book Tag
Sunday Sum-Up: March 28, 2021
It's been a quiet week around here. I'm still enjoying the fact that my work hours have shifted an hour backwards. It still feels a little like we're skipping out of the last hour, but we're getting used to it. It's nice to see the sun when we leave. When there is sun. It was … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: March 28, 2021
State of the ARC: March 2021
State of the ARC is a meme hosted by Avalinah’s Books in which we round up our ARCs and attempt to wrangle them into something approaching order. Sometimes it’s like herding cats. I have a flock of ARCs coming in in April and May. There are so many intriguing books coming out this spring! So … Continue reading State of the ARC: March 2021
Sunday Sum-Up: March 21, 2021
I have lived in Nebraska all my life, and thus have experienced some strange weather. Christmas Day tornadoes. Softball-sized hail. Derechos. Thundersnow. All sorts of weather weirdness. But Monday brought my first encounter with muddy rain. A dust storm in Texas sent dust and dirt high into the atmosphere where it combined with a storm … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: March 21, 2021
