March Book Round Up

I am going to try something new for my book round ups. Instead of uploading all the book images and inserting them as a tiled gallery here, I will use the monthly graphic available from my StoryGraph account, so it’s more consolidated. StoryGraph is an alternative to Goodreads and right now, I am using both. You can feel free to follow me over on StoryGraph if you’d like! My username is shown in the graphics. Goodreads is more linked to my real name so I won’t be sharing that. But they’re identical in what I am tracking right now. March was actually a pretty solid month for reads. I read 11 books!

This time I also vended ebony hairbrushes at a table primarily for my friend Alex and her venture, NS Mercantile, selling vintage spanking implements – primarily pervertables. I share Alex’s love for all vintage spanking implements, but my personal interests are focused on hairbrushes – ebony and otherwise. I helped her with her stuff and added several of my own brushes to the count. However, this post will focus on getting ready for a spanking party. I get a LOT of questions about this. One of them is about packing and what to bring.
