2020. I have to say-- the first five months of the year have been the longest five years of my life. Books have been for me, like never before, a refuge from the madness of the world. The more accustomed I grew to the strictures of stay-at-home suggestions and business closures thanks to the spread … Continue reading May Summary, June Preview

Sunday Sum-Up: May 31, 2020
Remember last weekend, how I wanted a reset to see about having a better week? Well, I had a better week, mostly. A rainy holiday weekend, easy days of work, and I've been sleeping better. So for me, a great week. Obligatory Mina Photo: Don't let that adorable face and those big eyes fool you. … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: May 31, 2020

Bookshelf Tour, pt. 2: Nonfiction
We're continuing with the bookshelf tour! This bookcase is the second one in my little studio- the one where my nonfiction lives. I don't have as much nonfiction as I do fiction, and I'm less likely to keep nonfiction once I've read it. My nonfiction titles are loosely arranged by the Dewey Decimal system, though … Continue reading Bookshelf Tour, pt. 2: Nonfiction
Bookshelf Tour, pt. 1: Fiction, Memoir, and Poetry
Thank you to those of who voted in my little poll from a while back. You voted for a bookshelf tour, so here we go.

April Summary, May Preview
April passed far more quickly than I thought it would! Though my home state didn't have a shelter-in-place order, everyone was staying home anyway and most things were either closed or offered curbside service only, so most days I would go to work and then go home. Once a week I'd go to the grocery … Continue reading April Summary, May Preview

Sunday Sum-Up: May 3, 2020
So as it turns out, when I have shortened hours at work, am stuck at home, and am not working on a 70,000-word story, I have a lot of free time. So I read. A lot. I did other things, too, but reading was the bulk of my week. Obligatory Mina Photo: The windows have … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: May 3, 2020
