Wrap-Up: March 2024

Monthly Reading Wrap-Up (Mar 2024) A little bit later with March’s wrap-up but I guess I’ve at least been posting about other stuff so I can cut myself a little bit of slack! 😉 March a decent reading month overall. A few more re-reads than in January/February but the weather was pretty miserable so obviously I was in need of some comfort reads. March 2024 1. Match Me if You Can by Sandy Barker…

Wrap-Up: January & February 2024

Monthly Reading Wrap-Up (Jan/Feb 2024) I’ve been seeing loads of these types of wrap-up monthly posts floating around recently (mostly on Instagram and Reddit) and I’ve been so behind on updating what I’ve read in the last couple of months so thought it would be fun to do my own version on my blog!

Stacking the Shelves – a weekly meme hosted by Reading Reality what’s the buzz: weekly round-up and book haul I think this is the longest hiatus I’ve ever taken from my blog since I first started it – not intentionally, mind you – but sometimes life happens and things fall by the wayside without you even noticing.

What Kind of D&D Character Would I Be?

Dungeons and Dragons Character Quiz I found this awesome little (well, not little because there are a LOT of questions – 140 to be exact – obviously needed for all the permeations of outcomes) quiz which sorts which race, class, alignment, character level, and ability score you would have if you were transported into a Dungeons and Dragons character. This is very apt for me just now as I’m…
