February 16, 2023: THE STRIKE IS OVER! The HarperCollins Union has voted to ratify the agreement and will return to work on February 21.

We love to know what you’re reading but I’m also curious about what you’re watching! … Continue reading Whatcha Watching? Give us your TV, Film, and Streaming Recs! →
Welcome back to Wednesday Links! Y’all, I am tired! Not sure if it’s daylight savings time or getting into the holiday rush while working retail. It could also be both!

I’m a +1 and I certainly don’t mind … Continue reading Links: Kickstarters, Wildlife, & More →
