Lee Welch’s Mr. Collins in Love
I am about halfway through the novel and love it. I was not expecting to read a Pride and Prejudice-inspired m/m romance soon or maybe ever, but the sample drew me in, and I have been immersed. It’s a breath of fresh air, just how relatable Mr. Collins’ struggles are, as well as how relatable Continue reading

Deep in my cup
Deep in my cup, I have those enlightened thoughts that philosophers in Chinese dramas have when they are drunk, but my drug of choice is caffeine, which I have learned in recent years is dangerous to me at the levels I would care to have it at.

Fairy Tales from French Salons
Over my vacation last week, I wanted to find out the origins of the tales anthologized in my Barnes and Noble 2016 edition of Beauty and the Beast and Other Fairy Tales. This and my B&N 2015 edition of The Snow Queen and Other Winter Tales are close to my heart, as Snow Queen was Continue reading

I bought a Gameboy Advance SP in Pearl Blue a few weeks ago, and it has just shipped from Japan, so I should get it in another week or two. I’ve been waiting for it impatiently, but the extra waiting time has given me more time to research and purchase games. I currently have three Continue reading

Writing and reading on my Palm Centro
Today I booted up my Sony Vaio for the first time in a little while to hotsync my Palm Centro, and now I’m installing some updates on it. It’s running better than I thought it would. If I don’t open a browser, it functions quite normally, so to circumvent that need, I’ve been downloading software Continue reading

Twenty Books Every Woman Should Read
Advertisement from Street & Smith [text]. In edition of In Love’s Hands, by Bertha M. Clay, c. 1914. I was intrigued by this list of “twenty books every woman should read” in a text I read recently retrieved from Project Gutenberg. I wondered what kind of books were the standard for what “every woman” should Continue reading

Brave, painful year
As I look back and see little activity here or otherwise I recognize that it was a brave and painful year. I found strengths and measures of fortitude in the depths of my soul to keep going. In the end, it all collapsed like a house of cards when I realized I can’t go on Continue reading
