Booklr Questions – Which book character do you most relate to?
Which book character do you most relate to? Having recently read a lot of Douglas Adams books, I find myself relating to Arthur Dent more than I would like. Granted, I haven’t been to travel the universe with nothing but a towel and my bathrobe, but I do feel very out of place. More often…
Read MoreBooklr Questions – Do you read Fan-fiction?
Do you read Fan-fiction? When I was in high school, I used to read a lot of fan-fiction about some of my favorite TV shows, like Mobile Suit Gundam Wing. My favorites were the ones that centered on Heero Yuy, one of the five primary gundam pilots. These days, I don’t really read fan-fiction anymore.…

I’ve finished up this month’s Project Quilting Focus Through the Prism challenge over the weekend. This month’s theme was Log Cabin blocks.

The books I remember most from my…
Read MoreBook It – Galactic Guides
7 months into this reading challenge, and I’ve read more great stories than one person deserves to read in a year. That’s thanks in part to using a reading challenge that’s expanded the types of books I’ve been reading. You can see the goals for my reading list on the 2015 Reading List from PopSugar.…
Read MoreStar Trek: DS9 Print
My husband and I were watching an episode of Star Trek: DS9 the other night, and it inspired me to make a print. In the episode “Civil Defense,” Quark quotes the 75th Rule of Acquisition: Home is where the heart is, but the stars are made of latinum. I just knew I needed a beautiful…
Read MoreWIP Wednesday
I seem to be a real slacker about having WIPs to share, but I do have a new one this week. I’ve been working on this month’s Project Quilting Focus Through the Prism Challenge, which is log cabins. I finished my piecing on Sunday, and spent a day of so trying to decide what bit…
Read MoreBooklr Question – Have you met any authors?
Have you met any authors? I haven’t met any famous authors. As much as I love to read, I’ve never been one for going out of the way to meet authors of the books I love. Maybe it’s because I don’t live near a large city, where most book signings are held, but it’s more…
