The Teller of Small Fortunes – Julie Leong

Leave a Comment / At Home, Reading / Megan

This is a really sweet book. Tao is far from home – brought to a new country after her father dies, and her mother remarries. She could be a Seer, but she believes that her vision killed her father, and she has no desire to use it again. Her stepfather would have had her join […]

Knitting Notes

Leave a Comment / At Home, Knitting / Megan

Leave a Comment / Travel / Megan

On our way back down to Edinburgh, we stopped at a few places not too far from the A9/M9. The first was Huntingtower Castle. We actually got their before opening (weren’t paying enough attention to the hours), but we ran into the lone staff member, and she was more than happy to let us in,
