Flashback Friday: A Trilogy of Magic and Love

Nothing more horrific than a muscle spasm
I didn’t post anything last week. Nothing. Nada. I even missed Flashback Friday. :/ Instead, these two kitties kept me company: I had a perfectly good reason though. In the middle of a combo massive upper respiratory infection & ear Read More…
Flashback Friday … A Wizard of Earthsea
My 6th grade reading teacher, Mrs. Terrell, swore to us that A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K. LeGuin was the best book in all of fantasy literature. I recall finding that statement rather dubious, especially having read Anne McCaffrey, Read More…
