Book Review LOL, another one of my attempts at audiobooks biting the dust. I started listening to this, but I was so impatient to continue that I went ahead and grabbed a Kindle copy. Linda Howard’s books are hit or miss for me—some work brilliantly with a tight-knit plot, a heroine to root for, and…
Okay. Time wants to slow down now. How are we one week ff the end of June for pity's sake? If feels like five minutes since I was writing my last update and I have achieved nothing since then. I mean, I've done work and stuff, and my team would possibly argue that what I…
