Well, squiders. We were supposed to be on a cruise tomorrow. But, alas, that’s not happening, for obvious reasons. Sad times. So, a little over a month and a half ago, I went to another library book sale. Cuz I
Used Book Store Finds: A Different Light by Elizabeth A. Lynn
Hey-o, squiders! I thought this was one of my library book sale books, but it had a bookmark in it, so it turns out that it was one of the books my spouse bought me on my birthday when he
Brain Dump
Ye gods, squiders, I am exhausted. I am drinking coffee but it is doing nothing. Opening night tonight, hooray! I took a really great selfie of myself in costume the other night, but our director said something about wanting to

Foundational Books: The Ancient One by T.A. Barron
Good afternoon, squiders! Today we’ll discuss The Ancient One by T.A. Barron. (To be fair, we’ve discussed before. It was part of our Adventures of Kate readalong in 2016.) My middle school had a program where they’d pick a local
Foundational Books: Wait Till Helen Comes by Mary Downing Hahn
(What, they made a movie of this too? I missed that completely. Wonder if it was any good.) You know I love ghost stories, squiders. And Mary Downing Hahn is perhaps the best children’s ghost story/horror author out there. (She
