Wow, I think we’ve hit the major meaty parts of this book. This third section of the book was probably the most packed with a ton of reveals, a ton of twists and turns, and a lot of stuff going on at once. Whew, it’s time to unpack this. As stated before, this post is…

Yep, I have a sci-fi list too. It’s not as big as my fantasy list, but I think there are some gems in this group that I’ll be getting into. This was a tougher list to create because I love science fiction books, but I haven’t narrowed down what I like from science fiction books.…

Welcome to the middle of the book! Actually, I’ve finished the book, but I’m sharing with you all my thoughts from the second section (pgs. 207-405) and let me tell you. A lot has happened. I’m going to dive into them now, but I need to warn you that this blog post will have a…

Happy Friday! I hope that everyone’s reading of The Priory of the Orange Tree is going well! I just got into it on Wednesday, finished the first 200 pages, and already working on the rest of the book. So far, it’s been dizzying with the amount of info and events going on. I’m enjoying the…

Obviously, I’m a little sad about this. The world has seen a lot of changes this year with the pandemic and that includes the loss…

At some point in September, I was on the Lionbrand website looking at different challenging sweaters to make. I could do a color-worked sweater or a cable knit sweater. I could start another top-down sweater or try my hand at pieces that I would need to sew together. The options for sweaters were endless, but…

Hi hello! A couple of months ago, someone mentioned to me that they would love to buddy read The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon with me. I couldn’t be more excited to read the book, but I’m having trouble remembering who I spoke to about it. But that conversation gave me an…

Happy Monday and happy last day of November! I can’t believe we’re here again! Around this time of year, I’m always feeling a little bit of fatigue from reading. I think it’s because the year is winding down and all I want to do is watch comforting movies and eat cookies and hang out with…
