So last week I posted a review of Prince Harry’s memoir Spare and it’s attracted a whole new spate of fellow readers. Welcome! It’s also attracted a lot of people with nothing better to do than post nasty comments about people so famous they’ll never meet either of us, and to those folks I say;Continue reading “[LAST WEEK IN BOOKS] Love, Immigration, and Leave Prince Harry Alone”

[LAST WEEK IN BOOKS] Check In With Your People
Happy Halloween, fellow readers. This week’s diverse bookish news update will be brief.

[LAST WEEK IN BOOKS] Taika Waititi? I Guess So…
I haven’t done a Last Week In Books post in almost a year.

Last Week In Books: I Don’t Want To Sell You Stuff For Christmas
*SIGH* You may have noticed things have been a bit sparse around here lately. I haven’t posted on the blog since November, and while Facebook, Instagram and TikTok have been ticking along steadily, to be honest, I haven’t been posting with my usual joie de vivre. There’s a couple of reasons for this, but theContinue reading “Last Week In Books: I Don’t Want To Sell You Stuff For Christmas”

[Last Week In Books] Immigrants, Refugees, Colonizers, and Serial Killers
Hello fellow readers! I turned lots of pages last week because I broke my phone. The resulting all-analog experience has me wondering…how did any of us ever live without a computer constantly in the palms of our hands? If the last week of my life is any indication, apparently we read far more books. InContinue reading “[Last Week In Books] Immigrants, Refugees, Colonizers, and Serial Killers”
