Yes! I am finally bringing back the wrap ups! Not sure I’ll bring back my weekly schedules, as not planning my posts in advance has been working for me this go around. But I like wrapping things up after a good week! What am I reading? Black Flags, Blue Waters: The Epic History of America’s […]
This is a pretty atypical post for me, but I’m excited, so who cares! Today is the release day for Shami Stovall’s fifth installment in the Frith Chronicles, called World Serpent Arcanist. You can find the Amazon listing here! For the record, I am not being paid to promote this book, author, or series, I’m […]
