Isn't that how it always goes? With the library being open for curbside pickup, I've been able to start some books on my to-read list and well as get through a mountain of tv shows and movies! The library has definitely helped take me to other worlds and realms during these unusual times. Where did [...]
Ever since this pandemic hit, I have had the ability to work from home. I consider myself extremely lucky to be able to say that as others are not as fortunate. I have been staying with only a few select people seen on the regular/semi-regular and have been using my bits of free time to [...]
Ah yes, the weekend is here! For most, the weekend is a time of relaxation and plans and events, but for me there is always some work to be done! However, when I do have the random weekend off, I make sure to fill it with calm and pajamas. As we get ready for Halloween [...]
Here we are again, ready to begin a new adventure! This past Saturday, I held our monthly book club, and yearly annual raku pot painting party, to discuss Stiff: the Curious Lives of Human Cadavers by Mary Roach. I was so pleased to find out that all who had finished or begun the book had [...]

Good evening and happy Monday to you! Perhaps you had a most splendid start to your week or a rocky one, we've done it. Made it through yet another manic Monday. So, what else is there to do left for today, but cap it off with a little bit of mystery? Do you ever get [...]
Finally through all of my audiobooks and having finished a book for last weeks book club, I find myself with a night off of deadlines.

I have previously written about Chief Inspector Gamache, but [...]
