Hello, lovely readers! Remember me? Remember fun? Let's pretend I'm sitting on a chaise relaxing by the lake in this photo. Ha. I survived the 2,200 mile drive from Ann Arbor, but am now ensconced in a utilitarian, extended stay hotel that is to put it kindly, dreary. My poor husband tries to manage Zoom calls at 5am with me sleeping in bed 3’ away. The fire alarm went ... Read More...
June Reading Recap
June. What a month. Normally, this is a recap of my reading, but no matter how I try to stick to the subject of books my brain refuses to cooperate.

Good Rich People is the story of a privileged LA couple, Graham and Lyla, Graham’s even more ... Read More...
Daughter of Smoke & Bone
I don’t know about the rest of you, but it’s requiring more and more effort to calm my reading brain. Between watching the real footage of the January 6th insurrection and trying to negotiate a cross country move I was as finicky and unhappy as a baby with colic. Nothing helped—not bright and shiny or smooth and slow—so I tossed all my preferences out the window and went with ... Read More...
