Well, well, well. Look who finally decided to show their face again after all this time… It’s me. It’s my face. Yeah, it’s been a while hasn’t it? Sorry everyone. I honestly wasn’t expecting to disappear like that and I feel awful for doing it. The truth is that things got a little overwhelming in... Continue Reading →
Managed to make it almost six months before I had to post another one of these. I'm counting that as a win. First off, thank you to everyone who reads my rambling updates. As I (ominously) mentioned in my last post, there are some changes coming, and I wanted to share them with you all... Continue Reading →
Lately, all I've wanted to do is disappear into a cozy book. And The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency was on the case.

There's nothing worse than realizing I've been stuck in a big old reading slump, and it takes something really special to kick me back into gear. Enter, Shards of Earth by Adrian Tchaikovsky: the hero in my hour of literary need!
Thank you very much to the author for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
