Pictured…my very boring desk at work. Thank you Ale for the lovely goodies, especially the socks (I teared up a little, I’m not going to lie.) This community is the best! Smoochies.
Thanks, Allison O!
Book mail is always the best mail! Many thanks to Allison O. for sending me the books below and for this gorgeous watercolor card. We have some seriously talented people in CBR. I love that both books have a feminist edge!
Its Jolabokaflod time!!
Happy Jolabokaflod, everyone! As is tradition, we all just opened our Cannonball exchange books, and everyone is over the moon. Big thanks to avivaguthrie, debcapsfan, blackraven, and fainting violet for filling our home with Stuart Gibbs and World War II and glorious graphic novels (Mockingbird!) and narwhals and horses and unicorns and book plates and Homegoing and Born Confused! You all rock and we couldn’t be more grateful for everything. Happy holidays!!

And guess what? I WON!(J/K… we all won.) My amazing Santa, CoffeeShopReader got me the best gift, The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook, which, like, is even better because my Santa last year got me the sequel and […]

And yes, I loved it just as much this time as I did the first time I read it back in 2006. And yes, I cried just as much this time as well! John writes a memoir of life with his dog Marley. But the book looks at much more than just the antics of a dog. […]
A friendly kick in the pants
A huge thank you to Crystal Clear for jump starting my next CBR, which will hopefully be more successful than this one was. I read 21 books and managed to review none of them, so there’s no where to go but up!
