Apparently, I’m determined to ignore all kinds of guidelines this week. First, I posted my reading habits two days late and only now am I going to attempt a November reading recap. Suffice it to say it was a hell of a month. I know for some people out there the election was a non-event, but I also know more people who got completely knocked off the track by the result. ...

A Month of Favorites: This is How I Read
I’d forgotten about this fun meme, A Month of Favorites, from Estella's Revenge, GirlXOXO and Traveling with T. It’s an especially nice idea for this year, when looking around the online world is a dangerous game of chance—you could find adorable kittens or you could come across more depressing news from an orange troll.

I don’t consciously discriminate against it, but if faced with two books and one is fiction and one is not, I’m going to dive at the fiction. This is scientifically borne out in my reading stats for 2016: ... Read More...
Comfort Reading
This fall has been the winter of my discontent with the election making me want to pull up the drawbridge to my psyche and mentally barricade myself in a safe place.
