March books: 5/5 (The Deck of Omens) Happy Wednesday, squiders. I have managed to drag myself away from BTS’s 2.0 music video to write you today’s blog post. Like many avid readers, I have more books than I may ever
Shannara Readthrough: Armageddon’s Children
March Books: 4/5? (Armageddon’s Children, obviously) Howdy, squiders. How’s life? If you’re new around here, or even if you’re not, here’s a quick recap. The Wishsong of Shannara was the book that introduced me to epic fantasy back when I
A Surprising Weekend
March Books: 3/5? (Drop Dead Sisters) (I’m also most of the way through Armageddon’s Children, which is, as I was warned, pretty dang awful. I may need to decompress with something else before I read any more.) Last week I

Making Progress (But Slowly)
February Books: 2/4 (Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom) (I read Crooked Kingdom in three days. Been a while since I’ve plowed through a 500 page fantasy novel.) Sorry for the Saturday post, squiders. But I’m sick of talking about
More Drama But On We Blindly Stumble
February books: 0/4 (Doing great. Have read four volumes of manga, though.) (Sarcasm!) The drama thing continues to take up all my mental and emotional energy, which is so, so dumb. The worst of it is that it took something
Why is There Always Drama (and January Thoughts)
January Books: 5/4 (Weird Parenting Wins) No February books as of yet. Sorry I missed my second update last week, squiders. There’s been ~*~drama~*~ with my volunteer commitments, which is always so dumb. We’re all adults, why can’t we act
