First, why the hell is WordPress asking me if I'm a night person or morning person instead of the usual "type here to start a new block" instruction? That's fucking weird, WordPress. No. Second, I know I haven't done a real post in a while, but instead of excuses I have real reasons. SK and… Continue reading Update From the Thick of It

A Feline Drama in 4 Parts
Warning: contains naked cat belly. It's just an evening bath. Nothing to see here. It's FINE. We're all fine. NO I'M NOT WEARING PANTS. Don't you people keep saying pants are bullshit in this house?

How I Discovered Minerva’s Full Name
Ron (a twin in the horde) made this today and sent it to me. Getting the twins cell phones for their birthday appears to have unintended benefits. Or consequences. Both, really. I present "For Fucks Sake Minerva" aka Minerva, aka FFS Minerva. Um, it's possible I use that phrase too often or don't even realize… Continue reading How I Discovered Minerva’s Full Name
Traveling Chickens, Covid, and Teenage Sleepovers
Suddenly it's nearly June 15th, and the last month has been...eventful. Not that events excuse dropping the blog for a few weeks, but for a while there something had to go, and I saved up pictures and notes to write up later. Today is later. In May I went to Cocoa Beach, FL with my… Continue reading Traveling Chickens, Covid, and Teenage Sleepovers
Negatives and Positives: a Spectrum
So...I get quite a few spam comments that are filtered out by this platform (thank goodness) and I always review them before deleting because often they're entertaining. The recent spate of "is cbd oil good for..." followed by a variety of ailments have been fun to read. This one, however, made me shake my head.… Continue reading Negatives and Positives: a Spectrum
Review: Misrule by Heather Walter
Disclosure: I received an ARC for this book in exchange for an honest review. If you've been here a while, you'll remember my review of the first book in this series, Malice, and how I raved and raved about the retelling of the Sleeping Beauty fairy tale from the villain's point of view. I loved… Continue reading Review: Misrule by Heather Walter
In Case My Nose Disappears Overnight
Today's post has some hunting death and some realities of owning predators as pets that I know not everyone enjoys. If you're squeamish, please feel free to skip this post. fAngus and I have come to an agreement of sorts regarding his serial-killing proclivities, in no small part due to my houseguests being willing to… Continue reading In Case My Nose Disappears Overnight
Review: Immersed in Pleasure by Tiffany Reisz
I was prepared to dislike this story. Let me explain: I have real difficulty reading traditional "the only value a woman has is if she's virginal" tropes, particularly when they're virgins being exploited for their virginity alone. So, when I read the description of Immersed in Pleasure, I gritted my teeth and decided I'd read… Continue reading Review: Immersed in Pleasure by Tiffany Reisz
Review: The Mistress Files by Tiffany Reisz
This is the first in a series of upcoming Tiffany Reisz reviews: she has recently released a couple of novellas and re-released some of the Original Sinners supplemental stories in new formats. The Mistress Files is one of these: a novella of short stories that gives us more background into Mistress Nora (aka Nora Sutherlin,… Continue reading Review: The Mistress Files by Tiffany Reisz
Review: The Witch’s Heart by Genevieve Gornichec
I admit the cover for this one caught my attention immediately. Just lovely. I LOVED this book. If you like Norse mythology and/or witchy novels, go get this immediately. The only reason I wasn't done in a day was I started reading it on a family vacation, which meant putting it down to do silly… Continue reading Review: The Witch’s Heart by Genevieve Gornichec
