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

Tag: Twenty Questions
Mary at Mary and the Words tagged me yesterday, so I'm going to do this today. She saw it on Jessica's blog, The Awkward Book Blogger, and from there could not track down the original source.

Tolkien Tag
Look! Another tag! A Tolkien Tag at that! I'm sure you're all shocked that I'm doing one. I'll just wait over here while you get over this great shock.

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

Because when I went grocery shopping the other day, I needed to pick up buttermilk for the Irish soda bread I plan to make later today. I wandered to … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: December 20, 2020
Sunday Sum-Up, December 13, 2020
So one of my co-workers was (gently) teasing me because I had bought the cats a package of super fancy treats for Christmas (1. Yes, I bought my pets Christmas presents, and yes, I know they probably won't care; 2. They have more toys than they can play with and plenty of soft and cozy … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up, December 13, 2020
