Jane Austen, Ranked

Image is, obviously, not mine. “It has been coming on so gradually, that I hardly know when it began. But I believe I must date it from my first seeing his beautiful grounds at Pemberley.” -- Pride & Prejudice "I can listen no longer in silence. I must speak to you by such means as are within my reach. You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope." -- Persuasion I may or may not have started working on this post literally almost a year ago. And then never published it. #oops? But a time where I'm talking about travels and England and all seems like a really good time to post it! So here we are. :) So…I finally finished reading all of Jane Austen! (Well, okay, I finished in the middle of last year , but y'know. Sometimes, one is not totally current. And it’s fine. No one’s going to yell at me. I hope.) Having finished all of Jane Austen’s

The Me and Music Tag

Another tag! Yay! (And the second to last post before you get Current Sam back again. I'm sure you're all eagerly awaiting her return. Although she's probably REAL sleep deprived, just fyi.) I'm joining in again with another tag that was gifted to me by the lovely Grim Writer, and it is, predictably, about music! Let's get to it! Praecepta: RULE 1: Tag the creator (Sophie @ Me & Ink) so anyone can find their way to the full lists of prompts/graphics (blogger has been being weird about links, so here's the full link: https://meandinkblog.wordpress.com/2020/04/15/me-and-music/ ) RULE 2: Choose how many prompts you want to do (up to 17). Free feel to use (or not use) the headings or the graphics (either old or new versions). RULE 3: Name 1-5 songs per prompt and have fun! (Ha! There's no tagging requirement. If you want the tag, you can have it. Else, I'm not tagging anyone.) Oh, and I made y'all a handy-dandy Spotify playlis

The Oremus Y'all Tag

It's been so long since I've done a tag! I have a couple in the works for y'all for this summer, but today we're starting off with one I'm very excited about from The Grim Writer , who actually created the tag about...a year ago? Gosh, I've taken a while to get to this one! *hides* The basic premise of the tag is to list out a whole bunch of your favourite prayers, which is Right Up My Alley--there's nothing I like more than talking about prayers I love! Full disclosure: this may be a very long post, I have several litanies I want to include. XD Also, this is going to be a Very Catholic Post, so if that isn't your thing, feel free to steer clear. My feelings won't be hurt. ;) Praecepta: Link back to whoever tagged you (unless it’s me. you don’t have to link back to me–except please do because I want to see your favorite prayers) and, if you like, use the graphic. List a minimum of 3 of your favorite prayers, and preface each by telling us what they m
