Webtoon 2021 Summary

Well, I did say the reason I didn't read a lot of novels this year was because I was reading webcomics instead. And luckily Webtoon came along with a yearly summary to prove my point. 179 Series! That caught me by surprise, but going through my subscribed list... it probably shouldn't have. I'm not going …

Mini Reviews: November 2021

Review: The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

Addie LaRue is a beautiful book if you go in with no expectations. Perfect for a relaxing holiday.

Yearly Wrap-Up: December 2019

Unbelievably this blog is still going after two years. Post frequency has slowed down dramatically, but they still trickle through. I'm still behind on my TBR list, but 2020 is the year we will fix that. (Winks ominously.) I have read less this year and I blame podcasts. I've discovered quite a few really good …
