This month was mostly about frantically getting ready for renovations. I still have a month to sort through a full basement of stuff that’s been sitting around for 8 years. I did get a few books.

April nonsense
Books. There were lots of those.
A ton of other stuff happened too. More about that after the break
February acquisitions recap
February was all about fighting. Fighting my old boss, union style. Fighting governments (who isn’t these days? People I don’t want to know, that’s who).
And painting minis to relieve stress and stay sane.
Here’s the required monthly acquisitions photo
Women in Horror Tribute WIP 2
This is recap of what I’ve been painting so far (actually through week 2 of February, no I didn’t paint anything during the 13th-19th, though I was busy). For more info about the project, check the first post. Here’s a photo of where I’m at now, with all the steps behind the cut.
Women in Horror month update
Gemma Files has been sharing a list of recommendations for Women in Horror Month on Facebook, with many links to free stories. There’s lots of great lists going around at this time – all worth checking out – but seeing as some are new to me and others I just recognize as names in my ever-growing to be read pile, I thought I’d share for everyone’s benefit. And it’s always great to get free samples.
Women in Horror Tribute WIP 1

In which I collect books without having the time to read them all. Or more realistically, don’t quit your job if you want even more books, because an income helps.
As a going away present from the job I’ve occupied for roughly the last 2 years, I received two $50 gift certificates to Chapters-Indigo. I don’t really shop there often, because… well, they’re a chain store that’s moving away from selling books. This after they helped decimate “all” the little independent retailers around. They also often only have books I want in Kobo format, and I like my e-books DRM-free.
