I feel as if I'm shooting myself in the foot by making this announcement and committing to follow it up, especially with how busy I currently am as well as how I've had trouble keeping up with my blog as it is with only three/four posts a week. But I'm the type of person who … Continue reading Blog Announcement: Camp NaNoWriMo 2018
Month: June 2018
Reading Wrap-Up June, 2018
So, it's the end of the month again and I've read a dismal seven books this month...even worse than the eight last month. I've been so busy I haven't bothered spending time reading and many of the books I start, I cast away in disgust. I'm pretty sure the amount of books I DNF this … Continue reading Reading Wrap-Up June, 2018
A Garden
(This is the garden of George Washington on his estate: Mount Vernon. I visited this place nearly a decade ago and recently I dug up all my pictures from it.) “My garden is my most beautiful masterpiece.” ― Claude Monet

No, I wasn’t the type of person who believed such an apocalypse was scientifically feasible, but I did enjoy the idea of it and read/watched tons of books/movies about it. That being said, when I came across this tag yesterday, I knew I … Continue reading Zombie Apocalypse Book Tag

However, this book wasn’t actually on my TBR, though when it came out six years ago I told myself to read it and yet I never did. … Continue reading Book Review: Mr. Churchill’s Secretary by Susan Elia MacNeal
Cake Flavored Book Tag
A couple months ago, one of the blogs I followe, Zezee with Books, did this tag and it looked so delicious (pun intended) that I put it on my list of tags to do eventually. But, typical of me, I forgot about it until I was going through the book tags I’d bookmarked on my … Continue reading Cake Flavored Book Tag

Suffice it to say, there have been many times in history that just that happened. Whether by accident or by unjust hands, this is my list for famous incidents when … Continue reading Famous Times Books Were Burned
A rose by any other name
“An idealist is one who, on noticing that a rose smells better than a cabbage, concludes that it makes a better soup.” ― H.L. Mencken (I got a kick out of this quote, though I've always considered myself a realist.)
