Whew, did anyone else feel their motivation fly out the window when summer temperatures showed up a little early? The news around here in the desert southwest is being REALLY CAREFUL to remind everyone that it’s NOT summer yet … just Spring. Of course, they’re also regularly reporting heat advisories and reminding people to quit... Continue Reading →
In November of 2023 I posted a little dive into my TBR for everyone. Since then, I've been asked about my progress quite a few times by people who saw that post. So, let's revisit, shall we? (For original: click HERE). As of today, I officially have 140 books on my TBR. That’s after reading... Continue Reading →
It’s officially MAY. Temperatures in my neck of the woods are regularly going over 90 degrees Fahrenheit and headed for that dreaded 100. Things in my day job are headed toward a big upheaval that may cause me to spend more time there, which is always scary. But, that’s not the point of this blog... Continue Reading →

I keep telling myself I’m going to post to social media more, actually film some of the (amazing, if I say so myself) TikToks I... Continue Reading →
You Shouldn’t Have Come Here by Jeneva Rose A Mystery/Thriller, 2023 by Blackstone Publishing, 350 Pages What I Didn’t Like: That opening scene was a LOT like the opener to the Urban Legends movie. That’s not the last cliche thing in this book, either. The book starts like a romance novel with everything that drives... Continue Reading →
Gearteeth by Timothy Black A Fantasy, 2012 by Dreamsphere, 411 Pages What I Didn’t Like: Weird formatting, which won’t affect my rating but did affect the readability. The chapter breaks don’t register in a Kindle and there’s no table of contents to use to judge chapter length. Also, there was a break in the middle... Continue Reading →
Well, July is over. We’re officially, inarguably, into the late half of 2023. Shocking, right? It’s time to take a look at what I managed to get done in July and make plans for moving forward in August. Let’s talk goals. If you’ve been following along with the blog then you already know that for... Continue Reading →
