I’m on holiday and have been doing a reasonably good job of not working. I’ve been reading a lot. I have, in fact, exceeded my yearly reading goal by several books already! Go me! And! Yesterday I cleared off my at-home desk, which was emotionally very good for me. And! …no, that’s about it. I’ve been watching the entire MCU Captain America storyline and am up to Falcon & Winter Solider now, though I haven’t started it yet. But, as I said before, part of being on holiday is teaching…
Recent Reads: The Angela Marchmont Mysteries (Kobo || Amazon (affiliate) || B&N) God almighty, I haven’t done any recent reads posts in nearly a year, which is crazy because I’ve actually BEEN reading. I’ve burned through this entire series in the past couple of weeks. Very enjoyable, if you like 1920s-era cozies. In fact, in the past year, I’ve read almost everything Clara Benson has written, and they’re all good fun. I’d recommend starting with the Angela Marchmont books, which I didn’t.

I managed not to nap yesterday, went to bed at a reasonable hour, and was RUDELY awakened by my alarm this morning, despite imagining I might actually wake up a bit early due to all the…
This is the start of a series of picoreviews inspired by a rewatch of the entire MCU Captain America storyline, which I’ve been wanting to do for a while and finally have. A reCap, if you will. O_O The Cap movies are my favorites anyway, start to finish (Black Panther vies for a top 3 slot depending on how recently I’ve seen it, but I never wibble on the Cap films being in my top 5), so rewatching it all hasn’t been a hardship. Except Age of Ultron, but we’ll…
time, what is time, i have no time, how do i get more time, if only i didn’t need sleep so much. also, yes, I know, this is a bit late in the month for a State of the Cate, but what can one do about tiiiiiiiime. Right, okay, so. Uhm. May was very productive, in huge part because I retreated to a friend’s house and wrote 50,000 words. Then I got sick with a head cold and was just sick enough to feel sorry for myself and not get…
