For the first time in a very long time, I have nothing bookish to share. Oh, I’ll get to what I’m reading this week, but my reading last week was so uninspiring it left me without a book to review today. Quite honestly, I feel drained. My ability to enjoy reading faltered in the early days of the lockdown as the COVID numbers rose across the country. Then the economy ... Read More...
What I’m Reading in June
Hello, June and welcome, summer. I’m not sure what to expect here in Michigan, but so far, humidity seems to be a very real thing.

That, despite having nowhere to go I read fewer books this month than any other month this year? I have no answers, except that we’re not in Kansas anymore. Normal is another world and anyone who thinks they can click their heels when these ... Read More...
Almost, But Not Quite: Mini-Reviews
