So I’m borrowing this feature for today from imyril, who was herself tagged by another blogger, but the feature itself all began way back when with The Perpetual Page Turner. In lieu of new reviews, while I gear up for Wyrd and Wonder with as much reading as I can focus on, here’s an A to Z of me!

Got something a bit different for you today, folks! While I scramble around behind the scenes, preparing for Wyrd & Wonder and trying to catch up on review writing (this preparation business is serious, yo), let’s take a little break and look at a neat Kickstarter campaign that’s come to my attention…

So I blinked and missed February. Huh. Not a lot got written about this month (thanks, Anxiety), but I’m telling myself that this is OK. My disposition is a bit sunnier now, and plans are being made! Let’s take a quick look at what February did.
