Blogmas Day 11 – The Sick Gremlin Interlude 🤧
Hey friends! Just popping in from a mountain of blankets and cough drops to say…your girl is down bad with whatever festive little plague my students have been throwing around (refer kindly to my post from yesterday).

Blogmas Day 1 – Welcome to Blogmas 2025!

Why I’ll Never Apologize for Liking Romance Novels
Let’s get one thing straight: I’m not ashamed of loving romance novels. Not even a little. Not even when people roll their eyes and act like reading about love, yearning, or – heaven forbid – happy endings is somehow intellectually inferior to the latest 800 page “sad man wanders through existential crisis and calls it…
