June was definitely not the greatest month in a lot of ways, I took a bit of a break from blogging (hopefully I am back with it now), and I definitely didn't read as much as usual. Five of the books on the list below I read at the end of May, after my wrap... Continue Reading →
Six for Sunday: Dream LGBTQ+ Ships
It's the last Sunday in June and the last of Steph's Pride-themed #sixforsunday prompts. This week is dream LGBTQ+ ships.

The only think I'm drinking at this time on... Continue Reading →
