Sunday Coffee – Yes and No
Society teaches women to say yes. To everything. That is a very, very hard lesson to overcome. I remember once, back in middle school, when we went through the drive through at some fast food place and they gave my … Continue reading
Sunday Coffee – Happy Mother’s Day!
Morning to you all! I had a rough night – family emergency that’s now over and well but which resulted in very little sleep – so I’m once again keeping my Sunday post short. Hopefully there’s a nap or three … Continue reading
Sunday Coffee – Readathon Wrap-up
It’s Sunday morning. Readathon just ended. I’m beat. I stayed up until almost midnight because my audiobook really drew me in. Then after I finally got in bed, the hotel shoved a paper under the door in a very loud … Continue reading

One of my goals this year was to make some good headway into the Wheel of Time series, with the ultimate aim being to get to those books that Brandon Sanderson wrote. There are fourteen books in the series. Sanderson … Continue reading
Sunday Coffee – Birdsong
One thing about growing up in a place is the way background noise becomes ingrained in your subconscious. Even if you don’t necessarily like a place, your brain imprints things that you might not even think about. I grew up … Continue reading
Sunday Coffee – Vacation Talk
Hello everyone! After three weeks of (mostly) silence, I’m back! It was a much-needed break and a good vacation, but now I have a lot to catch up on. To note, I went ahead and marked all posts in Feedly … Continue reading
