26th Apr 2019 by Norrie

It’s the first time I actually remembered to do this and usually end up at the airport, not being able to connect to their wi-fi […]

9th Apr 2018 by Norrie

Well, sure as hell, this lady – this one here, the one with the blankie – has got some issues. Like for instance she’s got no impulse control to speak of. None whatsoever. I mean, who goes on to Amazon and ends up with 44 books in the span of about two days? What-what? In case you haven’t guessed, yours truly, that’s who. But of course, it’s spring sale time, and Amazon had some awesome monthly deals for Kindle in March […]

New Year, New Books

1st Jan 2018 by Norrie

This morning the Goodreads Reading Challenge opened for 2018, and feeling empowered by last year’s success, I pledged another 65 books for this year. So, […]
