The Wheel of Time Haul

Let me show you why I love Pangobooks. I’ve already talked about this in several posts so I’m not going to go into a ton of detail, but I started The Wheel of Time years ago and I dnfed it. Since I dnfed it I sold my copies in my Pangobooks shop. I bought book […]

Walking the Chief Ladiga Trail

In my little part of the world there is a pretty popular bike trail called the Chief Ladiga Trail. It is thirty-nine miles of paved trail that connects four towns together and connects directly to the Silver Comet trail at the Alabama/Georgia line. It’s a beautiful trail that brings a lot of visitors to my […]

Monday Reading Check In

Happy Monday! It’s a warm, rainy day here in Alabama, but I hear we have some cold weather coming back in this week. Thankfully, we had a great weekend, and I was able to get some gardening done. Like always with the return of the warm weather my reading has slacked off a bit. However, […]

The Dragon Reborn Review

Like I mentioned in my DNF Diaries post I thought I had dnfed this series for good. However, I got the itch to pick it back up in February. I’ve now purchased the entire series.

Goodreads Monday: 3/2/2026

Goodreads Monday was hosted by Lauren’s Page Turners. It’s now hosted by Budget Tales Book Blog. All you have to do is show off a book from your TBR that you’re looking forward to reading. I don’t know why I want to read this. Sci-fi usually isn’t my thing. I also said I didn’t plan to start […]

Books I’ve Wanted to Buy on My Buying Ban

So, I started a buying ban this month after The Year of Less inspired me. I did allow myself one book a month and I wanted to buy used when practical. I’ve stuck to it pretty well, for the most part. However, I’ve had to stop myself from several impulse purchases. So, here are the […]

DNF Diaries Revisited: The Wheel of Time

Welp. I’m almost 200 pages into The Dragon Reborn. Apparently, I’m starting The Wheel of Time again. Let’s talk about why I dnfed it and what I think of it now. Why I DNFED The Wheel of Time. I read The Great Hunt back in 2022, so it’s been a minute since I’ve even thought […]

Coffee 101: Vanilla Syrup

Guys, I spend too much money on coffee. That’s really no surprise. One of my goals is to start making my coffee at home more often. I went to my local grocery store to stock up on flavored syrups and I found nothing. That’s the joy of living rural. But the great thing is coffee […]
