***NEW BLOG FEATURE KLAXON*** It’s a New Thing! Introducing… the RiRi’d Review. I reread books. A lot. Like, I think I reread as many old books as I read new ones. Someone one asked me why bother to read a book again if you’ve already read it. That person disappeared one foggy night on the…

Ayyyyyyy how goes it, my deliciously crumbly shortbread biscuits? I myself am in a bit of a funking funk, to be honest, and the only thing to blame is summer (okay and myself, jeez, lay off, I’m a delicate thing, you know). Bloody summer, most extra of all the seasons, with literally zero chill (lol);…

It feels so weird to be writing this blog without my lil reading buddy trying to sit on top of my lap and giving me evils when I try to type over his head. Guys, I miss Titus so much. It really is such a profound loss. But I know Book Cat would want me…
