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.

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

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
Sunday Sum-Up: March 14, 2021
There were two themes to the past week: Wind and Rain. It was windy for the first part of the week and has been raining for a solid day, and will continue to do so for the next couple of days. That's March for you. Despite the wind, though, a friend and I went for … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: March 14, 2021
Sunday Sum-Up: March 7, 2021
Quiet week around here. Sunny. Warm. Productive. Birthday-like. While it wasn't on the exact day of my birthday, I went downtown on my day off. I had two missions: go to the chandler to check out their new oatmeal stout candle, and then visit the adorable bakery in that neighborhood to buy myself a piece … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: March 7, 2021
February Summary, March Preview
In spite of the excessive cold and what felt like near-constant snowfall, February was actually a pretty good month. I read a lot of books. I got a lot of things done. I did a lot of baking. The cats were happy to snuggle (they aren't usually). So I have basically nothing to complain about. … Continue reading February Summary, March Preview
