Sunday Coffee – Disturbing Themes

Posted on October 15, 2017 by Thistle

For the last month, I’ve been skim-reading thrillers. Not reading them enough to review them here, but kinda speeding through them when my brain needs something fast and furious to swallow down. Frankly, I’ve been disturbed by a lot of … Continue reading →

Sunday Coffee – Serial

Posted on October 8, 2017 by Thistle

I have always struggled with reading in chunks. If I’m going to read through a whole book, I won’t take more than three weeks to do it.** Even the really long and/or tough ones, like Pale Fire or Don Quixote, … Continue reading →

Posted on October 1, 2017 by Thistle

Sunday Coffee – Settling In (Again)

Posted on September 24, 2017 by Thistle

It’s taken me much longer than usual to get settled into this house (unpacked, furniture arranged, decorations up, etc). Usually that’s a three-to-five day job. It’s just such a relief to get everything out of boxes and to know where … Continue reading →

Sunday Coffee – Starting Again (Series Edition!)

Posted on September 10, 2017 by Thistle

As I mentioned last week, the turning point of the summer came on July 31st. Three major things happened that day. First, I got a call about a job I’d applied and interviewed for at CVS and was offered the … Continue reading →

Sunday Coffee – Summer of Nightmares

Posted on August 27, 2017 by Thistle

Good morning from my new back yard in San Antonio! Well, my backyard last Sunday, when I planned to write this post, and when it wasn’t hurricane-weather outside, heheh. Only then I got interrupted partway through the post, and…well, you … Continue reading →

Sunday Coffee – Break

Posted on June 4, 2017 by Thistle

Over the last couple months, especially this last month, I’ve had less time to spend on blog-stuff, and less motivation to go along with it. This has only increased as we’ve started remodeling our basement. With the boys getting out … Continue reading →

Sunday Coffee – Rereads and Minis

Posted on May 28, 2017 by Thistle

It’s been a strange reading month for me. I’ve read a lot, far more than usual, and reviewed very little. The majority of that is due to rereads. After Readathon last month, I felt like diving back in to some … Continue reading →
