Well this short story was an improvement from yesterday, that’s for sure. My make-up however, is a different story (pun intended). I look a hot mess this afternoon, mainly because I’m in between naps and Christmas parties. Although it looks like I had a rough night, I didn’t, I just got back from yoga and haven’t showered yet. Does that make me the worst youtuber ever? Probably.
So thankfully I liked today’s story more than the previous two; it’s a quirky little number that got me thinking, and I’m still pondering it now. I also have a surprise for you chocolate lovers (especially you, FictionFan!), because I just received a hefty Christmas gift that will most certainly lead me into the beginning…
Each Fall I send an email to the major publishers I review for, asking them for their holiday specific titles. I do this because I need to plan for my radio segments early, but I also love reading for the specific season. If it was a normal year I would recommend these books as hostess…
It’s January, so what better time to begin the process of self-improvement? I actually read this book in December with the expectation that I’d be writing my new year’s resolutions shortly, so learning new lessons on productivity seemed particularly well timed. I’m not sure I learned how to be more productive personally, but I definitely…
When a Ruth Ware books lands on my doorstep, I get excited. I’ve read every single one of her books published, and really enjoyed all of them. Because she’s writing in such a crowded genre, I’ll recognize certain tactics of suspense, or a stretch in truth or reality here or there, but overall I can…
With so much anger, division, and suspicion flying around these days, a book about cults seems extremely timely. How do people become so entrenched in their individual views, that they begin to isolate themselves from their loved ones? When someone struggles to maintain a sense of normalcy, to fulfill their daily obligations to their job…
I’m squeaking this video in at the last minute here, which is probably a sign of things to come as Christmas draws nearer. But doesn’t the tree look so nice, all lit up as it gets darker outside? One of the few benefits of not recording this video earlier in the day I suppose. Anyway,…

Sounds good! And I think you look lovely :D I was somewhat distracted though by the fact that my cats decided to go mad and chase each other during it – a thing they haven’t done for about 5 years. I think they must be fed up with me saying how gorgeous your cats are… ;)
There is a short story collection I love, love, love about houses that leave out lots of great bits, and your video reminded me of it. It ties in moms in a way I haven’t seen before, a way that doesn’t suggest all mom’s stories are the same or must be “women’s fiction.” It’s called For Sale by Owner by Kelcey Parker.
cats can be so jealous sometimes…
oohh that one actually sounds familiar!
PLEASE READ IT.
