Book 913: Word Nerd – John D. Williams, Jr.

Book Cover of "Word Nerds" with Amazon Affiliate linkI have no idea where I stumbled across this book. At first, I thought it was The Allusionist or 99% Invisible podcasts, but can’t find any mention of it on their sites and there’s nothing on NPR, aside from a review which I usually avoid, points to where it came from. I also didn’t purchase it from Amazon or any other online book retailer, so I must’ve randomly picked it up in a physical store and not tracked the purchase.

I’m glad I picked it up though! Not because I play SCRABBLE, because I’m not great at it, but because it just had a great title and subtitle and I figured it’d be an interesting read and it truly was.

December Recap 2021

What a year! I’m not going to reminisce on yet another year spent in WFH and watching idiots around the country protest things that are designed to keep them safe. And honestly, I’m debating on if I’m going to do my usual Year-End recap (it’s a lot of work!).

I had big intentions of finishing 5 more books than I actually finished and getting them posted before 12/31, but when work gave us an extra week off (even though I had to work for a chunk of it) my schedule and plans got tossed out the window.

November Recap 2021

No clue where the year has gone, let alone the month. November was insanely busy and full of major happenings that I’ll be reeling from it for quite a while.

The month started out with a visit to the Fiber Festival of New England where I got up close and personal with the animals that produce the fiber I work with when I knit. It was really cool and a lot of fun and I didn’t go too overboard with buying stuff 😀 More photos at the end!

October Recap 2021

This is going to be a short update. If it wasn’t it wouldn’t get poste for another two weeks. October went by quick with an apple orchard visit early in the month, a trip to NC to spend time with family in the middle of the month and a flurry of knitting to end the month. November has kicked off even faster and I’m just crossing my fingers I’ll be able to keep reading over the next two months!

Book 875: Souls Aligned (Tasier #2) – Arian Williams

Book cover of "Souls Aligned" with Amazon Affiliate linkWhat a dangerous opening line! For some reason when I said yes to this book, I mean I did read the first one after all, I didn’t realize a chunk of it would be taking place in Boston.*

It’s always a gamble with me when it’s in a town I’ve lived in or have been to frequently. Thankfully, Williams didn’t disappoint, but that’s because she kept everything super vague and general, which I’d rather an author do than screw up something everyone who’s been in the city for more than an hour knows.
