Hello and welcome back! After seeing snow last week, I think I can finally be hopeful spring is here. It’s been in the 60s and 70s lately. My brother and his wife are visiting next month and he does not do well in anything 65 or below. However, spring in New England can be so hard to predict. I’ve had rainy, frigid Memorial Day weekends plenty of times. I told him to start making sacrifices … Continue reading Links: Super Readers, Gaming Tie-Ins, & More→
Welcome back! How have we all done with the snowfall? We got about two feet and my partner broke our shovel trying to break up some ice. And of course, all the local places are sold out of shovels. Fingers crossed our online order arrives before the next snow forecast. Also, I finally read by first Cate C. Wells. Katie, who participated in the After Dark quarterly recs, gave me some suggestions on where to … Continue reading Links: Nail Polish, Owls, & More→
Hi, everyone! How’s it going? My partner and I recently celebrated our anniversary in two parts. Part one: finding a cool local cocktail bar that serves gourmet hot dogs and grilled cheese. Part two: eating a charcuterie spread in bed while we watched Dropout programming. Hell yeah! I also left my phone at home and was left alone with my thoughts on my commute. However, it was the perfect excuse to open my kindle (and … Continue reading Links: Twilight, Crafting, & More→

Happy Wednesday, y’all! Also, happy Pride! As a bi/pan woman, giving support and hugs (if you want them) to all my fellow queer folk this month especially. It’s been a rough 2022 for LGBTQ+ people and I hope this Pride can be as restorative and healing as it can be celebratory. Please know that you are valued, loved, and treasured. It also wouldn’t be a Links post if I didn’t complain about the New England … Continue reading Links: Upcoming Romance, Darcy, & More→
It’s Wednesday! The week is half over! Firstly, let me thank everyone for the “staying cool” suggestions in the last links.

Since I’m traveling, it’s hard to have a concept of time right now. Spending time with my family is like my very own torturous Groundhog Day. Hope you all are staying safe and comfortable, depending on whichever season you’re experiencing.

They are a little backed … Continue reading Links: Masks, National Parks, & More→
Hey there! It’s links time! This is where we just post and talk about interesting things we’ve seen on the internet recently (or not so recently).

I can’t work or read without something playing in the background, though it can’t be music. The National Parks Service has … Continue reading Links: Book Clubs, National Parks, & Jane Austen→
Happy Wednesday! I have a healing tattoo of my cat in space and supposedly Boston is getting its first snow this week. I’m not ready and sincerely hope that doesn’t happen.
