Long overdue update on the Goodreads Challenge

Long overdue update on the Goodreads Challenge

The blog has been quiet, I know, especially on the book front. April has not been a great month. As you may or may not know, I was in an accident on 29 March, in which my car was completely written off. So aside from the minor injuries I had, I was supremely...

Team Trinity launch and signed book giveaway

I always get the warm & fuzzies when someone says they enjoy my blog, particularly when it's someone I admire. The fact that they read my meandering musings at all makes for happiness. So I was absolutely thrilled that when I finally met Fiona Snyckers after years...
