This Sparks Joy! Autumn 22 edition

November 21, 2022

I sat down to draft this post and my mind went entirely blank. I could have spent the last three months alone in prairie country for the amount of tumbleweed blowing through my brain. Thoughts? Memories? Anything? Nope. All I got was the human equivalent of ++?????++ Out of Cheese Error. Redo From Start.* Having … More This Sparks Joy! Autumn 22 edition

This Sparks Joy! Summer 22 edition

September 17, 2022

Starting with the last of the summer joys first because Netflix released Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman on 5 August and as of the date of posting I have watched the main series three times and the bonus episode twice times. It is wonderful. Dreamy* even. I cried multiple times, with episode 6 using the most … More This Sparks Joy! Summer 22 edition

A Year of Reading Frugally: The End

November 30, 2021

So, first things first, The List has now been updated to show exactly what I finished (F), what I’m currently reading (C), what I started but haven’t picked up for while (S) and also which ones I’ve chosen not to finish (DNF). It will remain static from this point on as I want it to … More A Year of Reading Frugally: The End

A Year of Reading Frugally: Months Nine and Ten

September 4, 2021

One thing I am learning from this challenge is that my purchase of physical books and audiobooks are far less impulsive than my e-book buying. As such I’m finding that The List is mostly populated with e-books and when I look through I now cannot quite fathom what the initial attraction was. This lack of … More A Year of Reading Frugally: Months Nine and Ten

A Year of Reading Frugally: Months Seven & Eight

July 24, 2021

I’m still finding the challenge fulfilling and, delightfully, the fear I had of missing out on books if I don’t buy them immediately seems to have gone away for good. The List isn’t being ticked off as fast as I’d like (more on that later) but it continues to provide me with one excellent reading … More A Year of Reading Frugally: Months Seven & Eight

A Year of Reading Frugally: Months Five and Six

May 19, 2021

When I decided to start this challenge, six months ago, one of the things that seemed obvious to me (and one of the main reasons I created it in the first place) was that my TBR pile would be smaller at the end of it than it was at the beginning. The logic was sound … More A Year of Reading Frugally: Months Five and Six

A Year of Reading Frugally: Months Three and Four

March 7, 2021

I have, and yet have not, struggled with the challenge over the past two months. The easy part has been not buying new books since I discovered that book buying was more of an anxiety response than I had originally understood. Instead of being tied to a fear of missing out if I didn’t purchase … More A Year of Reading Frugally: Months Three and Four

A Year of Reading Frugally: The First Two Months

January 10, 2021

I have to say that, so far, this challenge has been both enjoyable and very easy to stick to. I’ve not yet found myself feeling as if I don’t have anything I want to read and having the list to work through has added a purpose to my reading that I’m finding very helpful at … More A Year of Reading Frugally: The First Two Months
