If you are a regular on this blog, you might know that fantasy is my favorite genre. But it would be foolish of me to assume it’s yours as well. I do blog about other things, to be sure, and have written in other genres (CIRCUS IN A SHOT GLASS, woot!)

Some people judge other people for what they wear. While I don't judge people by what they wear or read, I am a… Continue reading What are We Reading?
