Just a quick note, as I am tired as all hell.
We were able to meet up with both J and Marina today.
Move is… progressing. So many boxes to unpack.
I just read through the last quarter of Imogen Hermes Gowar’s The Mermaid and Mrs. Handcock. Review will be posted as time allows.
I need sleep. G’night Wonderlandians.

Overview:
Blurb: When she finds herself rather bored with hum-drum England, the Honorable Miss Phryne Fisher decides to jump ship, a bit literally, to return to her homeland: Australia. Once there, she finds herself a few friends and a new maid. And then she finds a couple of communists, a few new and one old enemy, and nearly gets herself slightly murdered for being just a little curious about the king of cocaine in Melbourne. It’s the first book in a series and one I desperately wish to continue reading.

Question of the day: if you could only read from one genre for the rest of your life, what would you pick? What would you absolutely avoid?
By the Gods, today was a thoroughly busy day!
I love me a good, fluffy, cozy mystery book. It’s like a cartoon in print. Plucky heroine, Scooby-Doo style mystery, and usually a plot that could be getting you blitzed if you were playing an adapted version of the Hallmark Christmas Movie Drinking Game.
So what am I doing? Adding to my to-read pile with EscapeWithDollyCas.com’s 2019 Craving for Cozies Reading Challenge!

Question of the day: what small act of self care do you do when you’re feeling down?
I’m having a rough day, mentally. And physically. Just… sad and tired and run over by my damn menstrual cycle. Give me chocolate, hugs, and a gorram shoulder rub.
It’s been five weeks and I still feel a low-grade twinge of panic, of who died now fear, every time my cell phone rings.
In my quest for #200Books, I’ve been hunting down reading challenges.
