A fAngus in a basket… Oh, is this your clean bedding? I had no idea! What’s over there? Is that a ghost in the corner? Just…look away from the cat in the basket, human!
Review: Make Your Own Magic: A Beginner’s Guide to Self-Empowering Witchcraft by Amanda Lovelace
I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. Let's get this out of the way first off. I'm solidly Gen X. Sigh. I do not understand the lack-of-capitalization-in-prose trend. It's not a criticism of this book: Amanda Lovelace is known via her (utterly fabulous) poetry, which I've reviewed… Continue reading Review: Make Your Own Magic: A Beginner’s Guide to Self-Empowering Witchcraft by Amanda Lovelace
Every Title I’ve Tried for this is Filthy. Also, please ignore our carpet.
This is not a real post because school hasn't ended and things have been just this side of insanely busy for the last howevermany weeks (good Goddess how is it JUNE already? I still have a zillion unintended snapdragons to plant!) and I have three reviews to write. Yes, the run on sentence reflects what's… Continue reading Every Title I’ve Tried for this is Filthy. Also, please ignore our carpet.
Review: The Lake of Lost Girls by Katherine Greene
I received an ARC of this novel from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. In 1998, four girls from a South Carolina small town college disappeared without a trace, including Lindsey's older sister Jessica. Jessica was the absolute center of the family's universe, and to say she was their father's favorite would be a… Continue reading Review: The Lake of Lost Girls by Katherine Greene
Review: A Dark and Drowning Tide by Allison Saft
I received an ARC of this novel from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. Lorelei Kaskel is venom-tongued, fiery tempered social outcast and misfit in her kingdom, her university, and her nonexistent social and professional circles. A reluctant folklorist under the wing of one of the King's chief advisors, Lorelei is in a state… Continue reading Review: A Dark and Drowning Tide by Allison Saft
Book News
I have a cover!! I love it. I can't wait to do a big cover reveal whenever I'm allowed. I also got to see a draft of the forward, written by an author I had at the top of my "if only" wish list when asked for anyone I'd prefer the publisher ask first. The… Continue reading Book News
A fAngus Follow Up
I'm working on a book review and some other bits of news, but in the meantime Mr. fAngus had a bit of a photo shoot last night that produced some entertaining expressions. He wasn't trying to look like a disdainful supermodel, but that's what ended up happening after Ragnar and Minerva ran by making noise,… Continue reading A fAngus Follow Up
How I Offended fAngus This Week. Also, an Essay Published!
fAngus, who is nearly seven (and no, I don't know how old that makes him in cat years because, unlike dogs, cats don't enthusiastically share their actual age with folk they consider staff) has always been a contrary little dude. He prefers not to snuggle, thank you very much. He spent most of his time… Continue reading How I Offended fAngus This Week. Also, an Essay Published!
Just…Dogs and Dogs Adjacent.
Yesterday was 70 degrees, so I took my laptop on the deck and found this goober on my chair. Please note how she refuses to look AT me, because I'm telling her to get the hell off my spot so I can work. FYI, there's a second chair she could've used. It’s a running joke… Continue reading Just…Dogs and Dogs Adjacent.
Review: Sleep & Sorcery: Enchanting Bedtime Stories, Rituals, and Spells by Laurel Hostak-Jones
I received an ARC from Netgalley in exchange for my honest review. My only problem with this book is not actually a problem unless you're trying to read more than a chapter at a time: it was so wonderfully relaxing I couldn't read it without getting sleepy, which brought on more than one unintentional nap… Continue reading Review: Sleep & Sorcery: Enchanting Bedtime Stories, Rituals, and Spells by Laurel Hostak-Jones
