But social distancing stops at the internet door, and so I’m here to share a bit of what I’ll hopefully be reading over the next couple of …
The Deverry Readalong continues apace, and February saw me reading Darkspell for the first time. Things get darker and more dangerous, both in the past, the present and presumably in the future, for our Wyrd-bound heroes – and I’m here for all of it.

It’s time for a new mission here at Dear Geek Place – and this one’s a doozy, but it’s also definitely a long-term goal. And it should help me clear a big chunk of my bookish backlog! Sounds awesome, right? Welcome to the Great Series Read Project.
It’s been a heck of a month, and not really in the best way. Spring is struggling to appear here, and it’s taking a bit of a toll on my moods – but the upside to having to accept being largely stuck indoors for a month is that I get to indulge in all the books/tv/films I can stand! Let’s review February.

I’ve been a bit more selective for this one, only managing to pick five characters I’d follow – but there’s a nice variety of social media sites here as well as characters! So let’s introduce ourselves… Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish, and is now hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This weekly list feature …

The new year is here, and I wish everything felt shiny and new. On a personal level, I do have a refreshed outlook, and a newly-tapped sense of determination not to let the bastards grind me down.
