Patron submitted an official book challenge on one of my books the other day. By one of my books, I mean in my collection BUT it also turns out one I myself had ordered in late 2018. And at the time I did think about potential ramifications but I believe (and still do) that itContinue reading “Book Challenge”

10 of Swords… Again
As I had mentioned previously, tarot cards fascinate me. Not as in a doorway to contact people beyond this mortal coil. (Though if Mr. Rogers wants to pop in and have a cup of tea and chat, I am totally fine with that). And not in a tell me the future sort of thing. IContinue reading “10 of Swords… Again”
It is ok; it is in the Vault.
You can put that book on hold or ask from it another library. I won’t say anything. How to raise weasels or how to cook weasels. How do divorce your spouse or how to find a lost spouse.

Uncommon Type
Book review… why are you shocked? I told you I might do this… granted not a mainstay but still. And in full disclosure #1, I put this on hold because I heard that he was playing the role of Mr. Rodgers and we all know how I feel about him… Ok, disclosure #2, I haveContinue reading “Uncommon Type”
Setting the playing field
I read this book on vacation and well, wow. Ok, there are parts I wanted to smack the author on the head for being a stereotypical cookie cutter Millennial (Gen Y whatever!). But the rest… nice reset. The gist, if I may cull it down for you, is that you are giving a “F” (andContinue reading “Setting the playing field”
