Posted September 15, 2020 by Wendy in Personal, recap / 0 Comments

Can we just decide that it’s my brand to always be perpetually, awfully late on monthly recaps? Life, I swear. I will never be caught up. So I decided to combine this into a mid September life check in as well so it’s a little more current 😉 August was a fun month of a lot of outdoor activities: backpacking, hiking, trail running and drive in movies! Considering that the beginning of September, especially this last week here in the […]

Phoenixes and Alchemy: Ashlords by Scott Reintgen

Posted September 7, 2020 by Wendy in Reviews / 0 Comments

Why Did I Read? As many of you may know, two of my all time favorite books is The Scorpio Races and Red Rising. So when Ashlords has those two books as the comps? I was wary to say the least!

Why Did I Read? It’s about two writers who clash and turn out to be neighbors with the other and make a bet due to their writer blocks.

My Thoughts: First things first: take those preconceptions of what you think this book will be and toss it out the window! Because I was definitely under the impression this would be a hate […]

Hey friends! I combined my June and July recaps because wow, things have been crazy busy and I never managed to get my shit together for a June recap so here we are. 😀 Honestly, my June was pretty uneventful – I literally just scrolled through my camera reel to be like, what fun things did I end up doing in June and came up with a blank. All my pictures are of food. HA. So more of the same: […]
