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 made it past the crush of ARCs I had on tap for June! It ended up not being as troublesome as I … Continue reading State of the ARC: June 2021

Sunday Sum-Up: June 6, 2021
Summer's here. I already hate it. I mean, most of May it was around 60F, with rainy days and plenty of clouds and cool breezes and life was great. Then June hit and overnight it leaped into the mid 90s F, and it's awful. How long until October? In other, non-weather news, I got things … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: June 6, 2021

Sunday Sum-Up: May 23, 2021
Weird week around here. It was gloomy most of the time, then randomly gave us sun with gorgeous clouds- but never when I could get outside to photograph any of it. Or, I'd spend an hour or so wondering if it was going to rain or if I should just go for a walk, only … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: May 23, 2021

I ordered three things from Target online, as I couldn't get them in-store. They shipped all three items individually. Why, I don't know. It's a mystery. What else is a mystery about this order? Why one of the items, according to the tracking information, wandered around Minnesota for a few days before making it to … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: May 16, 2021
