I had become one with the plumbing.Percy Jackson, in Percy Jackson and the Lightening Thief by Rick Riordan, p. 93 Good evening, friends! Another day has gone by and what a productive day it was!

Well, g'day friends! 'Tis the season for readathons, isn't it? So, earlier this week I shared for you my TBR for the O.W.L's Magical Readathon that I'm participating in this July (as of this moment, I am reading my second-to-last book!) but I'm also participating in The Reading Rush which starts on Monday, 22nd of [...]

Let's be honest, unless you [...]
Well, hello there. How are you? I know, it's been a while since I've done just a sit down and chat type of post. But here we are! And for those who celebrate, HAPPY EASTER! My easter was yesterday, so I've had two weeks of non-stop chocolate. Not that I'm complaining. Those Lindt Easter Eggs [...]
If you have been following me for a while, either through my blog or my Twitter, you may have an inkling as to my overwhelming and whole-hearted love for the author Nalini Singh. One of the most impactful characters she's ever written would have, in my own opinion, to be Elena Deveraux of the Guildhunter [...]
