Have you read From Blood and Ash by Jennifer Armentrout? I waited and waited to read it, not sure why. But I loved it so much, I promptly checked out A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire from Libby. Then I loved it so much I wanted to cry that Libby didn’t offer A Crown ofContinue reading “The Maiden and her Guard”

Reading Challenges
I loved when ATY did the prompts for the Wedding theme; something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue. That time I went with Pride and Prejudice (old), Pride and Prejudice and Mistletoe (borrowed), Unmarriageable (blue) and Pride (new). This year the prompts are 3 books relating to past, present and future. I played aroundContinue reading “Reading Challenges”
Digital Scrapbooking

Renovating 407: The Master Bath
The 70s were a good decade. I mean my parents were married. I was born. My brother was born. But that decade is long gone and needed to be long gone out of my house too. This bathroom is on the smaller side, it’s not an en suite type of bathroom. It works for meContinue reading “Renovating 407: The Master Bath”
