Hello, all you lovely readers and lurkers. Obviously things are still “under construction” here. I know the direction I want things to go, but life is busy.

I’ve been doing some “spring cleaning” in the middle of winter. It’s bitterly cold here; the area got almost a foot of snow a couple weeks back.

February Reading Wrap-Up
Hello, everyone! I have been busy this month in terms of reading, so I’m excited to share my wrap-up for the month of February. Side rant: I do not like the system of 1-5 stars. I feel it’s just not enough of a scale to accurately rate books, especially with how subjective reading is. I feel it’s more helpful to find…
