Book Challenge

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. How to tell rare coins from fakes. How to make fake coins. Fifty shades of grey. TheContinue reading “It is ok; it is in the Vault.”

In the Cards

In my youth I was very intrigued by the idea of Tarot cards. Granted initially, it was their forbidden nature.  A very religious household: they were the sign of the devil, use of which encouraged demons to be released upon the world and even touching them might blacken my soul beyond redemption. Is it anyContinue reading “In the Cards”

Aged with Time

One of my favorite things is finding a new author, reading a book by them and then finding out it is one in a series and there are 10 books just waiting in the wings for me. My co-worker and I were talking about when you first read a later book and have to goContinue reading “Aged with Time”

You Can Stop

And it is ok. For more years than I am willing to share with you, I did not abide by this. But I do now. I used to fight and finish every single book I began. Even the ones I was a chapter in and was like uh this is going nowhere and I hateContinue reading “You Can Stop”

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”
