I’m still reading – I just rather fell off the Summer Reading list published previously. Here’s what happened. After finishing Lady of Misrule and experiencing, let’s say, disappointment (see my review), I found that the Lady Jane Grey bug was still batting away at me.

Summer Reading 2019 – Book Review #1
Not so long after writing my post, I pulled out the tablet to line up the summer reading selections. Inasmuch as I’m wont to happily chase the white rabbit down his trails, I thought that I’d pick something which would end right then and there. It was a nice thought.

Problem was I just could not get into it - the MC didn't… Continue reading Reading Update

Happy 2019
And Good Riddance to 2018 (and 2017 and 2016 for that matter). Thought I'd give a quick update on current events here in Maeveyville. The Hubs and I have been sick for two weeks - both concurrently and consecutively. Neither of us has a particularly fabulous bedside manner, so things have been both snotty and… Continue reading Happy 2019
