This is my second Classics Club spin since joining, so I'm quite excited to see what I get to read next! I have been steadily working through the books on my list (plus a backlogged review), but I still have the vast majority of them to go, so let's do this. My method of picking… Continue reading Classics Club Spin #33
I'll be the first to admit I'm not always enchanted with the content that WordPress pushes at me. Not just what it pushes at me, but what I actively seek out is sometimes predictable and uninspiring. I attribute this to WordPress's unhelpful search engine, the unintuitive way following tags works, and probably my own ineptitude… Continue reading The Saint Patrick’s Day Post: Celtic Pocket Guides Review
After a bit of a disappointing waste of time reading some random books I browsed from my local library before Christmas, I decided I might as well stick to the books I know I actually want to read. And when they're not on the library shelves, that's what interlibrary loans were invented for. I've been… Continue reading The Fox and the Hare: Recent Reads

And I'm not… Continue reading Red (Gail’s Version): 10 Books With “Red” in Their Titles

It's basically forced proximity. In space. How's that for a paradox.
Have you ever wondered why that show you loved, was unique, and had great characters or concepts got cancelled after one or two seasons? Especially while some high school drama that ran out of plot in its fourth year gets renewed for its twenty-second season with the original cast, now mid-fifties? Yeah, me neither. I've… Continue reading 6 Good Shows That I’m Sad Were Cancelled After One Season
What are book clubs for if not making you read books you never would have otherwise? Some you find you enjoy, and others... well, let's say I know my own tastes pretty well.
This is my first Classics Club spin since joining, so I'm quite excited to see what I get to read next! I have been steadily working through the books on my list, but I still have the vast majority of them to go, so let's do this. My method of picking which 20 of my… Continue reading Classics Club Spin #32
