Reading Recap: End of November
We’ve reached the end of November! It’s hard to believe that we’ve already reached the final month of 2024, and yet here we are. Even with all the chaos of Thanksgiving and then falling victim to a migraine the next day, I managed to read another two books this past week. I heard about the…

Reading Recap: November Continues
I bring you another week’s worth of reading recap as November continues! After feeling some motivation after last week’s reading, this week I got to two titles that were big on feminism.

Fiber Arts Post – Frogging Again: The Never-Ending Sleeve
Yup, I’m still on the sleeve of the Hopsmere Cardigan. Yeah, I mean the first sleeve. Even more frustrating, I’m going to have to rip back a good ten inches of work.

Reading Recap: November’s Start
November’s start is now behind us. I got two books read from cover to cover, even though I was reading more slowly this week than I usually do. I went a bit heavy on the doom scrolling. This week I’m intend to redouble my efforts to avoid that, so the next list might be longer.…

Reading Recap: The End of Spooky Season
I can’t believe that the end of Spooky Season has already come and gone! I had a lot of fun with the titles I chose. I might make it a tradition to keep horror themes in all my reading throughout the month of October. It set the perfect vibe for Halloween and the deepening autumn.…

Spooky Season Reading Recap: Week Three
It’s hard to believe that Spooky Season Week Three is already over with and in the books! I got a bit less reading done this week than my average has been as of late. Both my kid and I got sick, and I ended up with an unexpected workload in addition to all my usual…
