Bonus: I was on a podcast!

Oh oh oh! Also! In addition to my book round ups, I started the year off with a fun project, recording a podcast episode with the lovely folks at Sips and Smacks, on – among other topics – vintage ebony hairbrushes. Rex and Adalia were a lot of fun to chat with and I felt like I could have talked to them for hours. As it was, I talked for an hour with them! I am feeling very self-conscious about my rambling and hearing my voice on an audio recording like this, but I’ve been told I did a good job so I am choosing to believe that.

If you want to listen, you can do so on their website (linked above) or anywhere you typically listen to podcasts, or at Apple Podcasts.

I’d love to hear what you think!

September Book Round Up

I am SO BEHIND. But I am catching up in the New Year, after a lovely birthday trip to Las Vegas (yes, yes, I’ll post about it, and also all the other posts!) But here’s the first of many – my much promised, and much delinquent, September book round up. For what it’s worth, my final total for the year was 123!

Little Check-In

I promise, I am alive! November was busy with Thanksgiving plus my work end of year party and swag event (I am in charge of that!) plus all the “life” stuff going on. I have SO MANY posts in the works for the end of the year and the new year. I’m sorry they’ll be posted in a bit of a rush, but I want to get them in.

Upcoming: September, October, and November book round ups!

A blog about my Netherlands trip from earlier in the month. There was much galavanting and much spanking! I also have a post that expands on my last one about basically, what happened this year, and probably at least one more “fun” writing post.

For now, I am deep into my December daily posting – last year I just called it December Daily and posted on BlueSky and Twitter, but this year, I am posting on both of those, plus Fetlife, plus in a large group chat with friends and using the title of Spanko Advent. If you’d like to join along, check out my links above and use the tag #SpankoAdvent and follow my daily prompt. Maybe once January rolls around, I’ll make a single post with all 31 of them and the daily theme.

What is everyone up to? What are you reading? What are your holiday plans?
