I love to read, cozy under an afghan or throw. And I love to crochet. So, it only makes sense to combine the two hobbies, right?

Book Review – Murder Most Unladylike

March 11, 2019March 15, 2019 Shyla Fairfax

I spent the rest of the morning feeling as though I was trying to be in twenty places at once. Shadowing one person, let alone four, is an unexpectedly sweaty business.

Book Review – We Have Always Lived in the Castle (Shirley Jackson)

February 20, 2019March 4, 2019 Shyla Fairfax
