Welcome back to Wednesday Links! We are rushing right up to Thanksgiving. I think my partner and I are going to do an “all sides” Thanksgiving again. It was so much fun last year eating mashed potatoes and stuffing and green beans. My partner was diagnosed with Celiac Disease in January, so if you have any good gluten-free Thanksgiving dishes, please let me know! … Laura sent a couple related links in!

Hello, everyone! How are we all? Recovering from all the delicious food? Lamenting the loss of the long weekend? I had my latest Covid shot and wow did it do a number on me. Glad I got it, but this has been the worst for me in terms of side effects. My partner and I made some yummy sides. My favorite were some hot honey diced carrots. I could eat a whole bowl by myself. … Continue reading Links: Dog Shows, Fantasy, & More →

Now, we begin the slow march (or rather brisk step) toward the final holidays before the new year. How are we all feeling? … Continue reading Links: Advent Calendars, Fiber, & More →
Welcome to Lightning Reviews! This is where we post our shorter reviews for books that don’t warrant over a thousand words to discuss! We have three different titles from three different reviewers.

Wrong Number, Right Woman came to me at exactly the right time. I was ready for a romance with zero angst and adorkable characters, and boy howdy did this deliver. It’s so gentle and sweet, it’s like a warm hug and I enjoyed it very much. Denny is a thoroughly lovely, super-awkward butch lesbian. She’s co-raising her niece with her sister, works at a grocery store, and has a giant crush on her niece’s cute … Continue reading Wrong Number, Right Woman by Jae →
