I really wanted to love Mona’s Eyes. The writing is beautiful and I love the descriptions of the artwork. But the premise and the story meant to carry us from one piece of art to another is simple. Too simple for an adult. I felt like it would be a great book for a parent […]
Where do you see yourself in 10 years? Okay but for real. I’m horrible at seeing the future. I’m not even supposed to be here. But I am. So here we are. In ten years? Let’s hope I
What are 5 everyday things that bring you happiness? Happiness of things? Happiness in things? Every day, we do things, experience things, say things, see things, hear things, smell things, taste things, and more. Which of these things is eligible? The definition of a noun is “a person, place, or thing”. This implies that a […]
I’m currently waiting for files to export from my reMarkable paper tablet to my computer so I can actually use the tablet again. The disk is full and it won’t even save my writing right now, much less a whole new book. I just deleted 835 items. 835! And it looks like I still have […]

I was recently able to listen to The Story Keeper by Kelly Rimmer compliments of NetGalley. It took me a little while to come around, but I ended up loving it. A book that tells the history of the lives of the main character’s family within a story of a woman discovering her family’s history? […]

When I was a kid, my parents decided computers were a fad. It was the 1980s, and computers were increasing in popularity. We used them at school, and I knew a couple of friends who had one. It seemed magical how you could type something on a screen and have it print onto paper. The […]
You’re probably here because you want to buy a gift for me. I used to use Amazon for many, many things.

Also, it’s good to use Amazon as a search engine and when you find […]
