I’m not a fan of Stevenson or Island Fiction in general. It’s just not my thing. But I came across this quote while reading South Sea Tales for class and it made me laugh: ‘He had the courage of a lion and the cunning of a rat; and if he’s not in hell today, there’s […]

Pinterest Fail
You know that I am, and have been for years now, a Pinterest junkie. It’s been one of my favourite sites and I’ve spent many hours there. But yesterday Pinterest really let me down. This is the email I received: Hi Wondra Vanian, I’m sorry to say that we had to remove one of your […]

Things That Make Ya Go…
WTF? Okay… I don’t spend my nights randomly searching You Tube for my name. Let’s just get that out of the way – I don’t want you thinking I’m weird or anything… BUT… I couldn’t sleep the other night and was randomly searching You Tube for my name. Why? You know… Just in case. I’m clumsy, […]

Meme of the Week
Best meme of the week: Do I need to say anything else? 🙂 This meme comes a close second… But since looking at it makes my blood boil, I’m sticking with Harry. So… Let’s keep Republicans out of the White House and everyone else out of the closet!

A Song for Sunday: Hot Water Music – Drag My Body
This week’s Song for Sunday is “Drag My Body” by Hot Water Music. Watch the video: Damn! That growl gets me every time! I don’t know what I love more: the song itself or the video. This is really the only song by Hot Water Music (an American rock band) that I like but it’s […]

Our Spot – Revisted
I’ve lived in Pontywaun for nearly ten years now and one of my favourite places to hang out locally has been the Scenic Drive in Cwmcarn. We’ve spent so many hours there, picnicking, doing photo shoots, walking the dogs – and even chasing the odd runaway flip flop. But that’s all changed. We took Dylan […]

The Court of the Air, Stephen Hunt
CATEGORY: bibliophile, Court of the Air, fantasy, Jackelian, librarian, library, quotes, sci fi, steampunk, Stephen HuntI laughed when my librarian recommended this book to me because of how excited he got. Now I can see why he was so excited. This book is AWESOME! The only flaw, if I had to find one, is that it’s a slow burner. The first half of the book is good but, by about […]

Anxiety.
I take after my dad. No big secret there. I take after him in a whole lotta ways – many of which I’ll never admit to publicly. But I can’t deny that I have his intense (and mostly irrational) anxiety. There are many types of anxiety and everyone suffers from it to a point. I’m […]
