A Tale of Two Podcasts, or How Two Stories Kept Me Sane on a Difficult Road

Old Gods of Appalachia Logo - Respectfully pilfered for this post.
April 3, 2021 ~ mommahu ~ Leave a comment

I've recently had to travel for some of those grown up reasons you might know of when you're a child, but that end eras for adults. Probably a maudlin and overly wordy way to put it, but I suspect, if you're reading this, you're old enough to to know what I mean. Anyway, I rented … Continue reading A Tale of Two Podcasts, or How Two Stories Kept Me Sane on a Difficult Road

Just Like Everyone Else – I’ve Got Burnout

March 22, 2021 ~ mommahu ~ Leave a comment

Hey, y'all. Man, life has been hitting me hard. I have this tendency to turn inwards regarding pain and hard things and depression.... I think this flattening, this near dystonia, is more common than it has been. Us non-neurotypicals have been joking (see like 90% of the corner of Twitter that I inhabit) that it … Continue reading Just Like Everyone Else – I’ve Got Burnout

Review – The Starless Sea

A well-loved, worn out copy of The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern
February 21, 2021 ~ mommahu ~ Leave a comment

THE STARLESS SEAErin MorgensternBeautifully imperfect story about Story. Photo by Pixabay on Pexels.com I've had this ARC for more a year and a half. I was really looking forward to reading it. A coworker passed me her copy, but she's super hardcore about her book usage, and what I got was in 7 pieces. (ARCs … Continue reading Review – The Starless Sea

RNG and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern

December 4, 2020 ~ mommahu ~ Leave a comment

I've just finished up my latest read - The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern, expect a review soon - and I've used online random number generators to pick my next two books. To be honest, I tried a few times, just out of curiosity, but these are the first and the last choices. I was … Continue reading RNG and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern

Review – Untamed

November 30, 2020December 1, 2020 ~ mommahu ~ 1 Comment

UNTAMEDGlennon DoyleGreat thoughts couched in personal narrative. It's hard for me to separate how I feel about Untamed as a reviewer and how I feel about its place in my life. I picked it up at just the right time, when life was swirling into a deep eddy of chaos and uncertainty. I needed help, … Continue reading Review – Untamed

Grief Pause

November 25, 2020November 30, 2020 ~ mommahu ~ Leave a comment

Dad died, and that's obviously affected things. I'm reading, thinking of writing, making some headway, but also sometimes not. More soon.

November 21, 2020November 21, 2020 ~ mommahu ~ Leave a comment

EMPIRE OF WILDCherie DimalineA First Nation's Rogarou tale of lost love and salvation.(CWs below) You know, I wish I had picked a different title to start with here. I read Cherie Dimaline's Empire of Wild over the course of several months. That ARC *lived* in my backpack, just waiting to be picked up again. It … Continue reading Review – Empire of Wild

Notes on WordPress – Pressing Frustration

November 20, 2020November 21, 2020 ~ mommahu ~ Leave a comment

I've yet to get started on my big plans for this site. Part of it's Real Lifeā„¢ - I'm managing one my offspring's last year in high school - he's virtual schooling at this point, which is fine, but he's always here, and this has been a hard year, so I get interacted with a … Continue reading Notes on WordPress – Pressing Frustration

Adventures in Reviewland

November 13, 2020November 21, 2020 ~ mommahu ~ Leave a comment

2020 is certainly a year for the books, but for me, not one for books. One of my greatest frustrations this year as a bookseller has been a lack of time or energy for reading and reviewing books. Real life was hard, somehow reading was also hard. One of the perks of being a book … Continue reading Adventures in Reviewland

New Life Ahead

November 9, 2020November 21, 2020 ~ mommahu ~ Leave a comment

Well, in true 2020 style, I'm off on a new adventure. I'm on sabbatical from the indie bookstore I've worked at for a decade. The turn of the year will mark the end of my time with them. Time for a change. I'm excited about the possibilities. And it is refreshing to have time to … Continue reading New Life Ahead
