Do I start with cat news and pictures or end with the cat news and pictures? Decisions, decisions… If you missed the story about Jorts, the not terribly bright orange cat, it’s here: https://www.cnet.com/how-to/jorts-the-cat-unraveling-the-wild-saga-of-the-internets-kitty-du-jour/ and was pretty much all over the interwebs for a day. Jorts is adorable. And kinda dumb. But adorable. George is […]
This is George showing off his “murder mittens”. But he really doesn’t take them out on much of anything except the occasional roll of toilet paper if we’re not vigilant. Freddie, on the other paw, has been going a bit overboard on his “dominance grooming” routine, to the point where he’s given Lucifer a couple […]
As a contrast to last week’s picture of Hecate in supreme disgruntlement, this week she’s showing off her skills as a mighty huntress. There are toy mousies everywhere in the house, so obviously her humans are no good at hunting them down. She has to show us how it’s done. And in case you’re wondering, […]
All the current Giveaway Hops end on Tuesday. Every single one. Just in time for the month of December to bring the Winter is Coming Giveaway Hop. 2021 is winding to a close, whether we’re ready or not. Have you finished gobbling up your Thanksgiving leftovers yet? We gave just a bit of the plain […]
There’s a fine line between being happily busy enough and enjoying the sound of deadlines as they go whizzing by. A line I usually discover right after I’ve crossed it. And that would sum up things this weekend, as it seems like everything in the universe is due today or tomorrow. And the bathroom remodeling […]
There is a certain amount of trepidation at Chez Reading Reality this weekend. The bathroom remodelers are supposed to be here Monday morning to start a job that we signed up for SIX months ago. The supply chain snafu snafus everything. We are looking forward to getting the work done, because we haven’t been able […]
Did you remember to “fall back” last night or this morning? And does this make sense to anyone anymore? Really? It was a GREAT reading week. I loved every single book. Isolate and The Riverwoman’s Dragon were both wonderful, but that was to be expected. They are both by authors that I read regularly because […]
Happy Halloween! I want to say that this is a picture of George in a costume, but it’s not nearly that well planned. This is George, attempting to “help” his people sort the laundry. He dove into the pile and then burrowed his way back up from the bottom. This picture is the result. George […]
It’s only Sunday and it’s already one of THOSE weeks. Nothing terrible, just another epic book hangover and a late night followed by not nearly enough sleep. Some worlds are just too fascinating to leave in the middle and too traumatic to get over at the end. C’est la reading vie. There might not be […]
This week’s schedule held up better than I expected. And that one will be back a bit closer to the publication date. There’s an actual nip in the air here in Atlanta. It actually feels like “fall” enough to start wearing long sleeves. It’s lovely. But speaking of fall, the leaves are falling like rain […]
