I hate it when characters make epically stupid choices, it makes me want to throw the book across the room. Instead, I end up speed reading the stupid parts, which usually ends up with me DNFing the book itself. Ugh.
Bitch-space: 23 Jan 2024
And here we go with another episode of Bitch-space. Today, I’m. going to wave my hands, do a little hocus-pocus and attempt to dazzle myself with 15 minutes of creative writing, in the same mode as this. Look, Ma! No […]
Bitch-space: 22 Jan 2024
Here is me, once again writing complete and utter tosh (is that how you spell “tosh”? Is tosh actually even a word and if so, does it mean what I think it means? For some reason I want to make […]
#AmReading… Reverie

#ReadingChallenge update

#AmReading… A Spark of White Fire
It’s good, a space opera/fantasy mashup with gods and sentient spaceships, but… I’m conflicted. I made the mistake of reading the blurbs of the other books in the trilogy and I’m not getting happily ever after vibes, and that is not fun.
We all know how I ❤️ Happy Endings.
Reading Challenge 2024: The search begins
I didn’t make any resolutions this year but I did set myself some challenges. I find challenges a good way to build habits, or break them depending upon the need. Last year, I didn’t read anywhere near as many books […]
