I knew The Picture of Dorian Gray was super gay, but no one told me it's the gay version of "we live in a society." 😂

Another indie book review! This time for "Grave Cold" by Shannon Knight.

Grave Cold | Indie Reviewmargaretadelle.wordpress.com Let's talk about dead people. "Grave Cold" by Shannon Knight is a NA sci-fi-fantasy about a young woman living in a futuristic version of Portland. She's plagued by visions of ghosts and is believed t...

Just learned that people with PCOS are much more likely to get headaches and that explains a lot.

Just realized there was a review request from January I'd never responded to. 😬 Turns out I still suck at response times.

The owned TBR is currently sitting at 36. I know I should still be getting new books to keep myself from burning out. But the idea of getting my TBR down to actual zero before the end of the year is SO TEMPTING.

Since it's Disability Awareness month, here are some of my favorite books with/about disability!

Book Recs for Disability Awarenessmargaretadelle.wordpress.com Since July is Disability Awareness month, I'm coming at you with some of my favorite books either about disability or with disabled characters. No magical cures or "look how sad their life is" book cl...

Just decided to download the Little Free Library app. Surprised it took me this long, tbh.

Another indie book review! This time for "Hands of the Carver" by Laura Diaz de Arce!

Hands of the Carver | Indie Reviewmargaretadelle.wordpress.com They always come back. Today's indie book review is another returning author from my booktube days! Or, more importantly, an author I reviewed who turned into a close friend that still sometimes sends...

The July TBR is here!

The July Resetmargaretadelle.wordpress.com If it feels like I've been avoiding this blog it's because I have. In May, I had given up all idea of a TBR in order to focus on my mental health. In June, I decided to do a secret Roll for TBR game. ...

I love the concept of Blind Date with a Book but I'm so rarely interested in what I find after I pull the paper off.

In the middle of listening to Rebecca. I'm gonna need to read a super sappy romance after this to make up for the terrible way Maxim treats his new wife. 😡

Tonight's activities include crocheting and listening to an audio book while in shelter from the Tornado Warning.

The bookish community needs audiobooks so we can all realize when we've been mispronouncing names. Shout out to Elatsoe, in particular.

I finally sewed my own kerchief today. One step closer to sewing my own underwear.

Refilled my drink at the restaurant and then promptly went to get an iced coffee. It's Pride, I can lean into bisexual stereotypes if I want. 😂 💗💜💙

Discovered my old Nook still works the same day I discovered Barnes and Noble suspended all support for it. Planned obsolescence is the enemy of green living.

Another indie book review! This time for the sci-fi "Embers," by EJ Fisch!

Embers | Indie Reviewmargaretadelle.wordpress.com Look, I like my sci-fi with laser gunfights and ANGST. Note: This is the fifth book in the series and we'll be getting into a lot of spoilers for the previous four books. You can check out my video re...

Time for a new post! I am back at a TBR Zero challenge to finish what I started the first time.

Back in the Zero TBR Trenchesmargaretadelle.wordpress.com Awhile ago, I made a post explaining how I got my owned TBR from 420 books down to around 50 in a year and a half. It was quite the feat (and mentally exhausting) but I finally managed to build the ne...

We've officially reached regular status at our local coffee kiosk. The second we pulled up, the woman opens the window and asks "Want your usual mocha?" 😂

At a Mexican heritage festival, watching wrestling and eating a churro cheesecake. My summer is going great, is what I'm saying.

My hyper literal brain needs this answered: Do writers *honestly* believe the characters can "take over the story?" I thought we all understood it was our minds subconsciously finding patterns and verisimilitudes within the story's logic we hadn't thought out before.

Feeling like a boomer because I had to remind the kid mowing our lawn twice to actually move the lawn furniture and mow the grass underneath it.

I am officially back into the TBR Zero Trenches. I want to see my TBR as *actual* zero just once in my life.

Another indie book review! This time for the literary fiction, "West Falls Revisited," by DH Schleicher!

West Falls Revisited | Indie Reviewmargaretadelle.wordpress.com Y'all want some non-linear story telling? "West Falls Revisited," by DH Schleicher is a literary novel about a small town that is still reeling from the murder of a child in the decades past, as well ...

My favorite part the later Amelia Peabody books is the complicated relationship between mother and son. The first time Ramses told her "I love you" had me 😢🥺

My husband was bringing all the groceries inside in one trip. Me: Do you need any help? Him: How dare you
