Housebroke by Jaci Burton

Housebroke

Housebroke is a perfectly charming romance that is lighter than air and that has very little active conflict. There is no reason for this couple not to begin registering for wedding gifts by, oh, say, Chapter Three. This is a lovely couple whose problems consist of one of them having too much money. In other words, a non-problem. For goodness sake, Hazel, open the dog shelter of your dreams and get on with the relationship … Continue reading Housebroke by Jaci Burton

Welcome back to Wednesday Links, where we are in full grump mode! You know that anticipation right before a holiday break, but then everything just seems to be going haywire. That’s where I’m at! Anyone in the same boat? In major news, Toast let me pet his belly! Linus doesn’t even let me do that. Toast still isn’t sure what petting actually is, but he’s trying and sometimes, he’s just not into it and that’s … Continue reading Links: Golden Retrievers, Star Wars, & More

Welcome back to Wednesday Links! For those who had a long weekend, was it relaxing? One of my best friends was back in town from Los Angeles and I had such a good time seeing her. I also started listening to audiobooks while I game. Shoutout to Agatha of the She Wore Black podcast for inspiring me to give this a try. I tore through a 10hr book in a little under two days. Now … Continue reading Links: Art, Pet Adoptions, & More

Welcome back to Wednesday Links! I’m currently on a social interaction hiatus and wow, does it feel great not to make plans for a while. I’m also not as motivated to leave my home when it’s above 85 degrees. No, thank you! In monumental news, our shy Toast (the cat we adopted in May who was rescued from a hoarding situation) walked up to my hand and gave it a sniff. It’s the first time … Continue reading Links: 90s TV, Strikes, & More

Welcome back to Wednesday Links! Last we talked, I mentioned my wine and cheese class. We had a spectacular cheese made by an Australian cheesemaker and it was made from buffalo milk. It was so good; we definitely brought some home, along with the truffle popcorn they paired it with. My social calendar feels pretty full the next few weeks. I’m one of those people who will make plans, dread it up until the last … Continue reading Links: Dogs, Elmo, & More

Hey all! A nice little short and sweet Links post for your mid-week blues! I had a lot of social activities last weekend. Lots of one on ones, meeting new people. It’s exhausting! I’m also attending a wedding this weekend. My battery is running low and I feel like I will probably crash when it’s all over. I’m an introvert in the sense that socializing really drains me and I need to recharge. Anyone else feel … Continue reading Links: Dolly Parton, Kitchen Goods, & More

Hey y’all! It’s Wednesday Links time! I love picturing us all gathering around. What do you think the vibe is today? Are we going cozy with lots of blankets and pillows? What about something with nature? The weather has been nice in New England and I’d be town to blanket fort it up in a magical tree house! My birthday is coming up! I’ll be 33! Wowee. One birthday present has already arrived from my … Continue reading Links: Dogs, Witches, & More

Hello, friends! I am back in New England! Definitely missed the fall weather and my own damn bed. Linus, my precious monster cat, acknowledged my return for all of 20 seconds. I’ll take it! I so love the food in Austin and had some of the most delicious breakfast tacos. Their food truck “courts” down there are just my kind of jam. Every time I visit, I feel like I get closer and closer to … Continue reading Links: Horror, Squid Game, & More

Welcome back to Wednesday Links! This is where we talk about and share neat links from around the internet. Did you know it’s June? And have I mentioned that I really dislike summer?

Hey hey! It’s Wednesday! How have you all been? The last couple weeks have been an absolute blur. Not sure why. The weather has been stupidly nice here and, so far, not an allergy to be had. Fingers crossed they’ve flown the coop for good!
