“Where can I start?

The Now Habit: A Strategic Program for Overcoming Procrastination and Enjoying Guilt-Free Play by Neil Fiore

January 7, 2023 by Halbs 1 Comment

A couple of year ago I had a (very) full-time job, graduate classes, young kids, etc. It was a lot. And for some reason I wasn’t able to get stuff done anymore. It wasn’t that I didn’t have time; it was that I just couldn’t bring myself to do certain tasks. I think it was mainly because they weren’t clearly defined or they were too large.

“‘Willfully withholding. Unnecessarily inaccessible. Not delivering on its premise.'”

Bunny by Mona Awad

July 3, 2021 by Mobius_Walker 2 Comments

You know those moments when you’re battling a fever, you’re in and out of fitful sleep, and you’re not entirely sure what is real and what is imagined? Those fever tinged experiences that you just want to be over but time stretches way beyond what it should be allowed to stretch? That was what reading Bunny was like.

    As a long-time nonprofit professional, I'm intrigued at the mixing of fantasy and fundraising. Plus, what a gorgeous cover!

    on What if Cinderella was a handsome Jewish man and the prince was a determined and beautiful heiress?
    I remember enjoying this one. And you’ve reminded me that I have an arc for the third book.

    I haven’t read this one but I got sucked into vampires early, probably around 2nd grade with a kids series...
