Absolutely No Shelf Control

What had happened was...

[20 books arranged on a piano bench, from left to right: Death of the Author, Kills Well With Others, Savor It, Scot and Bothered, Say You'll Remember Me, Flirting Lessons; a horizontal stack from top to bottom - Break Point, Murder by Memory, A Wager at Midnight, Believing in You, One in a Million, Let Me Be the One, Wild Side, The Perfect Rom-Com, The Usual Family Mayhem, Love on Paper, The Charlie Method; and 3 more books from left to right - Stealing Home, Breakaway, One on One]

So my nearest library branch needed to close in order to complete some urgent building repairs. At first, it was supposed to take two days, but that turned into seven days. So my book requests accumulated during that time.

Did I pursue the super practical option of reading all of the other library books in my possession in order to clear the way for this growing and delayed bumper crop of loans?

No I did not.

I borrowed ebooks from my county's library system, and more physical books from a library branch in the adjacent county.

[a bookstack of 6 books from top to bottom: Mister Hockey, Head Coach & Virgin Territory, Mile High, The Right Move, Pucking Sweet, Pucking Wild]

My hockey romance binge reading continues as every day the #ALLCAPS frenzy for the Washington Capitals gains momentum!

Deadlines for multiple projects loom closer and there are episodes of The Bitchy Quill podcast to record while the first day of The Write Women Book Fest is only 83(!) days from today.

So until at least August, my blog and socials posts will probably offer only photos of books, bookish things and BAC (Book Acquisition Compulsion) confessions.

Always sending you good vibes for overall health, peace of mind & some pleasure every day, especially during these challenging times.

Tapping into Your Power

The following two books celebrate powerful characters who overcome their fears to manifest their greatness for the benefit of themselves, their loved ones and communities. So satisfying. [2 books from left to right: A Witch's Guide to Magical Innkeeping by Sangu Mandanna, Direct Descendant by Tanya Huff] A Witch's Guide to Magical Innkeeping by Sangu Mandanna contemporary speculative romance Berkeley, July 2025 Sera's story of navigating otherness was worth the wait. The advantages, responsibilities, and consequences of being powerful are explored with nuanced observations, humor, and compassion. Themes on distinctions between family by blood, choice, and intention weave throughout this poignant tale about paying attention and recognizing personal details as fundamental to the evolution of one's perspective on who and what are valuable. One of my favorite passages from the end of chapter nineteen: Like this was a thing that had, somehow, become...

Beach Reads That Sizzle (in Many Ways)

It's a miracle that so many actual and imagined human young survive into adulthood, and then on to old age.
