    Book Review: The Personal Librarian by Marie Benedict and Victoria Christopher Murray

Not that literature ever goes out of style, but that I…

    Happy #FistBumpFriday

    30 July 2021 / 0 Comments

      HAPPY #FISTBUMPFRIDAY Everyone who doesn’t have a pandemic puppy raise your hand. *keeps hand down* Yep, we adopted a dog last week and her name is Lola. Now that I’m back at work on a regular basis, I thought Bleu would like some company during the day. Bleu is all crickets chirping. I mean, she hasn’t snapped at her but she hasn’t exactly welcomed her with open arms either. Lola has been trying to lick her, but Bleu keeps turning the proverbial other cheek. The pictures above were taken after I went to the store and bought them matching beds. Bleu kept curling up in the smaller bed instead…

    HAPPY #FISTBUMPFRIDAY Do you remember {in the before times} when I used to do a little something called #FistBumpFriday? I didn’t start it, but I certainly had fun with it. It was a way for us to share a bit of happiness in a world that seemed full of everything but… I don’t know why I stopped, but I thought I’d bring it back. So here goes, some things that made me happy this week: New music: Anywhere Away from Here by Rag’n’Bone Man & P!nk I discovered Rag’n’Bone Man earlier this year and, y’all, his music is a whole vibe. I love the sound of his voice, it’s both…
