Guten tag, lieblings. I’ve been absent because I’ve been “writing” my “novel”… I’m so behind, guys. So so behind. I don’t think I’ll make the 50k minimum this year, but it’s my own fault. November 1st came and I had no idea what I wanted to work on, so I just picked a random story…

I was just going through some old blog drafts and found this picture from 2016 – my love, Titus Ignatius Andronicus, Book Cat, the best cat who ever lived. He even had a witty little quote for me. God, I miss him 💔 – xo, R

Ahoy hoy, gentlefolk, it is I, your friendly neighbourhood book-blogger, and I’m back once again with the words. Things are good, things are bad, things are meh – life is gumbo and I am merely eating what I’m served. That’s a horrible metaphor, but whatever, I’m so tired, let’s just go with it. Today is…

I myself am carving out a joyless existence sans embroidery AND feline companionship, what even is life. Today I’m nonverbally reviewing An Elderly Lady is Up to No Good by Helene Tursten, yay for…

Did absolutely no TBR reading this weekend, due to the indescribable agonies suffered by 50% of the human race. Biology is a bitch. I did watch a lot of Netflix, though. So there’s that. So I’m talking about a book from July that I read, and to my surprise, actually enjoyed quite a bit. It’s Social…

So I know I spent the last blog post yammering on about the six books I meant to read this month… but I accidentally read a book that wasn’t on that list. And yes, it was about the conception of the antichrist. That’s right, kiddos, Halloween is in the air, let’s talk about one super fucked…

Question for you all, dear readers. Have you ever feared being crushed beneath the ever-growing tower of books you intend to read? Wonderful, glad I’m not the only one. I had a brilliant idea that I would suspend all new book acquisitions, both from the library and from the bookstore, for the month of August.…

Blessed be, my witchy babes. Onward with the blogging… amazing how much time a girl has when she’s not planning a wedding, isn’t it? Today, I’m bringing back an oldie: the Fun-Size Review, in which I talk about a recent read in less than 100 words. I just finished one of my most anticipated summer…
