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!

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!!

It’s the Cannonball Read 10 Holiday Book Exchange! I didn’t get ANY books reviewed this year (and because of stupid “1Q84,” I also didn’t quite meet my reading goal this year… I’ll probably only get to 49/52), but I love this community and still played the book exchange game! 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 […]

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!

Y’all I got some booooooooks!!! I got a sweet little button and a sticker but I got some books and let me tell you about that sweet little number on the bottom right. I’ve already read it. Hella times, in fact. I fucking love that book. It was my introduction to Lois McMaster Bujold and everyone should read her because she is the literal best. And this book I’ve already read? I love it the best of these. Because I gave up a lot […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.
Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.
Dixie on Track Her Down by Melinda LeighI am just starting Track Her Down and I have read them all in order till now and thought I...
Roland of Gilead on How can you give us the gift of a crazy character named Rando Thoughtful and then just as suddenly take that gift away? We need to talk, Uncle Stevie.I came across this randomly years after it was written because I was searching "Random Thoughtful. But I have the...
Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
