Midnight Never Come By Marie Brennan "England flourishes under the hand of its Virgin Queen: Elizabeth, Gloriana, last and most powerful of the Tudor monarchs. But a great light casts a great shadow. In hidden catacombs beneath London, a second Queen holds court:...
Friday Favorites: Working from Home
This week's Friday Favorite post will be a bit scanty, folks. I've been dealing with a bad head cold all week - the kind that leaves you exhausted just by standing up long enough to take a shower. But between the [lots of] napping, soups, citrus, and meds, I've still...
Cold Hands Warm Hearts Swap
This year I participated in the Cold Hands, Warm Hearts Swap hosted by Ilene of Much Love, Illy and Sandy of Sandy a la Mode. The swap was created to keep hands warm as winter approaches and the weather gets colder, and to be a way for bloggers to make new friends...
Recipe: Homemade Chex Mix
Yes, that's right - homemade Chex Mix! All the tastiness of the store-bought stuff, but tailored to the bits you like. For example, none of those mini breadsticks or toasted bagel slices or rye chips. Unless of course you want them. I don't, particularly. If I had my...

Friday Favorites: Belts
I have fairly long legs compared to the size of my waist, so finding jeans or pants that fit right can be a bit of a problem. Generally, if they fit through the thigh and legs and are long enough, they are too big in the waist. What this means is that I end up wearing...
D.I.Y. Simple Home Humidifier
Ever wake up on a winter morning with a sore throat, even though you're perfectly healthy? Well, don't fret - you're likely not sick, just parched. The cold winter weather tends to dry out the air in a lot of homes, mine included. It also dries out my hands, but...
