Genkii just brought me a lizard. My indoor only -not-a-hunter cat brought me a lizard. A teeny-tiny little thing. I squealed (benefits of being a female, no one is shocked when I react strongly to things like a lizard in my living room). So he drops said lizard (with a look of surprise) and it scurries under… Continue reading Life Memories: Lizard

Review: The Rain Wilds
I kind of LOVE Robin Hobb. This is the second series I've read by her and I enjoyed it just as much as the Assassin's Trilogy - maybe even more.
