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've had a nice break from reading ARCs lately, and while I found a few more to add to my NetGalley shelf, I … Continue reading State of the ARC: December, 2020

Sunday Sum-Up, December 27, 2020
It's the last Sunday Sum-Up of 2020. Here's to hoping that 2021 is a better year than 2020 was. I had a good Christmas, as far as Zoom Christmases go. We got online together around 9:30 on Christmas morning, and once my parents got their laptop oriented so that they weren't silhouetted by the sun's … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up, December 27, 2020
Big Books for 2021
There are some big books that have been sitting on my shelves for a while, just waiting for me to get around to giving them the time and effort they deserve. I'm not intimidated by big books. I'm fine with reading them. I mean, this year I read a 600 page biography of Thomas Cromwell, … Continue reading Big Books for 2021
Anticipated 2021 SFF Releases
So. 2020 is nearly over, and while the turning of the year won't solve many of our problems, ringing in the new year gives us all a chance to shake off the old one and feel like we can start anew. While the rest of the year was pretty much a dumpster fire, I read … Continue reading Anticipated 2021 SFF Releases
Sunday Sum-Up, December 6, 2020
At work, we're not having to work Sundays for the first time in forever. Since at least before I started working there, and that's been a long time. I love that I'm not working six days a week in December, but I don't love the reasons for it. But it is nice to be able … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up, December 6, 2020
State of the ARC: November, 2020
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. Earlier this year, I made a vague goal to reach fifty reviews for my NetGalley account. For a long time, I didn't think … Continue reading State of the ARC: November, 2020
Goodreads Monday: Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art
Goodreads Monday is a weekly meme where we randomly select a book from our Goodreads To Be Read list and share it with the world. It’s been hosted by Lauren’s Page Turners, but I’m not sure if that blog is active anymore. Please enjoy this preview of what I want to read in the future! … Continue reading Goodreads Monday: Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art
The End of the Year Book Tag
I couldn't find out who began this tag once upon a time. I've just seen it pop up in several places in BlogLand and on BookTube, so here we go. Photo by Ann H on Pexels.com Are there any books you started this year that you need to finish? Two that I can think of: … Continue reading The End of the Year Book Tag
Sunday Sum-Up: November 15, 2020
I did not, in fact, end up with a hangover after overindulging in wine last weekend. But I was incredibly loopy on Saturday night, and though I was still coherent, I am quite thankful that my friends put up with my crazy texting. Otherwise, it was a decent week. A mix of good and bad … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: November 15, 2020
