WOMS: A Most Agreeable Murder
We're back in the Regency Era this week with another murder mystery, you might say an agreeable one? It's Julia Seales A Most Agreeable Murder! This one had been on my TBR for a while, but my library never had it available. It was always checked out. I suppose it was/is quite popular. After waiting and waiting in a queue, when I went book shopping with a friend one Sunday, I decided to buy this book and give it a chance. (I normally don't buy books I haven't read yet.) I'm so glad I ...
A Neurodivergent’s Battle
The first thing that went wrong that morning was I overslept. Turning over to see the clock read 8:03 AM instead of 7:00 made my stomach lurch.

WOMS: When the Moon Hatched
This week as promised, it's a return to fantasy with Sarah A. Parker's When the Moon Hatched. When I last wrote, I mentioned I had made a brief return to fantasy, which I would soon review.

Despite my frustrations with the fantasy genre as a whole, especially trends that were still present in this book, overall I was pleasantly surprised, and impressed, with Parker's latest novel. I ...
The Case of the Missing Hero
Let's take a break this week because I want to share something rather epiphanous, at least for me. Though I may have shared some of these thoughts before, I’m not certain I divulged them with the same clarity. Recently, I tried a return to fantasy as I stumbled upon what appeared to be a next great hit of a series full of wonder and adventure and maybe even a little bit of romance. Of course, I'll review that book soon here, but something struck me as I dived deep into its pages and ...
