My BOTM box arrived! This month I picked The Hunting Wives, When the Stars Go Dark, and Arsenic and Adobo! Now I just have to decide which one to read first...The last couple of days have been good for book mail! My copy of Rule of Wolves arrived (eee!), as well as the preorder goodies for it! As an added bonus, a signed bookplate from Anne Bishop also arrived, so I am a happy nerd over here. ❤March was a pretty good reading month for me! I doubt I'll do as well in April - I have a lot of gardening to get done!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐On Thursdays we read purple. But no, seriously I think that some of my purple covered books are my favorites.Goodreads

Review: Celestial Watercolor
The core concept behind this art book is actually fairly simple, though brilliant. The goal is to help teach readers how to paint the night sky. And frankly, the cover alone indicates how much authority the authors/artists have here (read: a lot). Continue reading
