I'm relieved my bestie didn't freak on me and go "what the crap is wrong with you?" when I decided that me and this opportunity are gonna have to go our separate ways. Because of privacy, I'm not divulging much about my work or the company. The big thing is I was in the running … Continue reading Passing up what could be a good opportunity, only to hope for a better one…

Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice & Fire #1), by George R.R. Martin
My Copy: 9780553593716 (image from bn.com) I was not planning to read this book yet. I hadn't even planned to buy it until last month because I wanted to get ALL the books before reading them one at a time. But seeing as how this book originally was published in 1996, and we're in 2020 … Continue reading Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice & Fire #1), by George R.R. Martin

Blitz Q #122: What the heck is “wire fraud”?
I've watched tons of true crime programs in the past few decades, and recently as I tried to clean (or get some rest while sick), I've had American Greed on.

Anansi Boys, by Neil Gaiman
My Copy: 9780060515195 (image from bn.com) I almost quit reading this one. I was around page 126 and maybe it was being sick all week, but I was tempted to quit because of the depiction of one of the characters.
