Reads: April, 2026


Best intentions, blah, blah, blah....

In my defense, I had a rough start to the year with all the back-and-forth illnesses with my cats. But here I finally am, with not one, but two reviews actually written. It's been legitimately exciting to get back into the groove of reading and reviewing!

Queen of all Mayhem: The Blood-Soaked Life and Mysterious Death of Belle Starr, the Most Dangerous Woman in the West by Dane Huckelbridge

Across the Living Infinite by Logan Sage Adams 

And as always, I cross-post my reviews at Goodreads, BookBub, and Storygraph. Please do follow!

Museums: April, 2026


I started a new monthly tracker last year—museums and limited exhibits—and then promptly a lot of life events happened and I failed to do new visits, let alone writing up reviews of the experience. But I'm back and catching up, because while nonprofit museums rely heavily on donors, historic homes depend on every single visitor who walks through the door, and word-of-mouth is promotion I 100% believe makes a difference.

Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum
Exhibit: Journey of Hope: Irish American Immigrant Experience

Merchant's House Museum
Exhibit: At the Tredwells' Table: A Culinary Tour of the Merchant's House

You're welcome to check out my Google profile for full reviews and photos from each of these, and please let me know if you include any of the locations or exhibits in your own visit!
