Friday Fandom and a Few Musings

Ongoing Reading Challenge I have a huge stack of library books which I am working my way through, but I haven’t finished many of them, and realized today that a few of them I probably won’t finish at all. This makes me sad, but also glad I found those books at the library. What IContinue reading “Friday Fandom and a Few Musings”

Fandom Friday: Reading, Listening, and a Newish Idea

This has been a week of downs and ups. My mom-in-law spent some time in the hospital. But, as always, I was doing some reading (partly because that’s how I deal with stress or happiness – either way, reading increases my happiness and relaxes me, so I don’t find it to be a chore). ReadingContinue reading “Fandom Friday: Reading, Listening, and a Newish Idea”

Fandom Fridays with Chair Dancing, Reading, Watching, Listening, and Beginner Walking

CHAIR DANCING? What kind of image do you get with that? Well… whatever you just thought of, that’s your imagination at play or at the work of play. For me, chair dancing means dancing in my chair. Why? Well, I injured myself last November and I’m still healing. When I look at that last sentence,Continue reading “Fandom Fridays with Chair Dancing, Reading, Watching, Listening, and Beginner Walking”

Fandom Fridays and Changing Things UP

Originally, I intended Fridays to be Spec Fic Fridays with informational posts about fantasy creatures, sci-fi and fantasy tropes, and such. I changed my mind. It happens. I don’t mean to be frustrating to follow, but I realized I had bitten off too many different things at once with my grandiose plans to post onContinue reading “Fandom Fridays and Changing Things UP”
