Subplots & Storylines – January 2020

It’s 2020 and high time for a new S&S banner, right? Ta-da! 🙂 Hard to believe the first month of the year is DONE, but here we are. It was a mostly good one in my corner of the world, minus a few tired days and some sickness passing through the house. I read great books, got back to working on WIP, met up with several friends, and revived my bookstagram (which had been languishing for months).

One of the loveliest things about January, though? The days are getting longer. Right around the winter solstice, daylight hours are SO short here, from about 8am to 4pm. But now the sun starts climbing closer to 7:30 and doesn’t set till after 5… which means my daily work commute is no longer in the dark. SO HAPPY.

First up in this month’s Subplots & Storylines: silver screen reviews on a web-slinger, a raider of tombs, and motley shows!

Books of 2019

Happy New Year, bookdragons! It’s that time again—the time for chatting about all the things we read in 2019! Most bookdragons I’ve met are curious creatures, always poking their noses into others’ bookshelves and looking for more reads to add to their hoard. So I’m happy to oblige.

Buckle up, because I have 45 books to roll out for you, along with mini reviews (yay!) and geeky readerly stats!

Subplots & Storylines – November/December 2019

Okay, everyone’s saying it, but I have to agree—how crazy is it that this decade is over?! Looking back, the 2010s contained the most transformative part of my life so far… the decade in which I grew up. (Hey there, fourteen-year-old me.) Most of you would probably say something similar.

Buuuut let’s save the ruminations about 2020 for another post! We have just enough time to chat about the end of 2019, or more specifically, what November and December looked like in my little corner of the world.
