Living Through COVID-19 Pandemic – Weeks 26, 27, 28, & 29

First off, sorry that I forgot to post for almost 4 weeks. To say it has been hectic is an understatement. This has been partly due to the effects of COVID in my area but also related to increase in workloads and preparation for my new property. I know I haven’t posting much book related…

Book Haul – I have Sinned!

Here’s the thing. I already knew I was going to break the ban this time. I had to go into town, I was feeling happy about life, I knew I wanted to visit Waterstones. I got some money for Christmas that I was going to put into savings but in a ‘spur of a moment’…

Top Ten 2019
