Spoilers before we begin, it's more than 52 books. This post was meant to go up yesterday, as my usual year end wrap up, but I was felled first by the news of Betty White's passing, and then by the Mother of All Migraines. I had an excellent reading year, and the Bookstagram project that … Continue reading 52 Book Pick Up: Episode 2021

Second Verse, Same as the First
I didn't go back and read what I wrote at the end of Our Year of the Collective Dumpster Fire 2020, because it didn't really matter. Just like it doesn't really matter what I write about Our Year of Dystopian Hellscape 2021, because you all lived it too. So let's get straight into the Year … Continue reading Second Verse, Same as the First
Anthology Announcement
After a long hiatus, I am back with a short story acceptance! It's been a weird year(s) for writing, and I've definitely gone through phases of mania where I start twelve different projects, quickly followed by depression where I finish none of them. So I'm especially pleased to announce that my slightly Dickensian, ghost doggo, … Continue reading Anthology Announcement
Fifty Book Pick Up: 2020 Edition
In this, the Year of Our Collective Dumpster Fire 2020, I almost did not make it to my goal of 50 books. My reading suffered until late in the year when a new project with a friend gave it a necessary boost. Shameless plug-- if you're on Instagram, check out @Andanotherthingreaders for all your YA … Continue reading Fifty Book Pick Up: 2020 Edition
Moving the Goals Post
I probably ought to have just crossed out the 0 and replaced it with a 1 on my 2020 list of things I wanted to accomplish this past year, because I hit very few of them. I think that's probably true of everyone. I didn't, though. I erased the whole thing and we're going to … Continue reading Moving the Goals Post
Eligibility Post 2020
Actual footage of me trying to write anything this year: Like most of us, I struggled with producing new work this year, and as a result I only have one publication to remind you of in this year end post. (I actually had to google that it did come out this year, because it happened … Continue reading Eligibility Post 2020
M1R (Make One Right): Giftmas Blog Tour
2020, right? Okay, that's done, because it's December, and you've all been here living the same year I have so there's no need to go on about what an off year it is. I've been exceptionally lucky that I haven't suffered in the extreme ways that some other folks have-- my job is "essential" so … Continue reading M1R (Make One Right): Giftmas Blog Tour
Pretty Bookish Things
I don't know about the rest of you, but 2020 has not been a particularly productive year for me. My writing has suffered, my reading has suffered, the only thing that really hasn't is my knitting because for a few months at the beginning of the pandemic that was ALL I had the motivation to … Continue reading Pretty Bookish Things

With a focus on YA, especially SF/F, And Another Thing Readers explores and analyzes one book per week with reviews, curriculum and … Continue reading And Another Thing Readers
Light a Light: Giftmas Blog Tour 2019
I'm a generally curmudgeonly person during the holiday season. There are approximately three albums of Christmas music that I can tolerate, I am not a fan of surprises, and don't even get me started on tinsel. I think this stems from too many years of traditions that weren't really mine with forced family members who … Continue reading Light a Light: Giftmas Blog Tour 2019
