The Unhinged Homemaker Journal Lifestyle

Our monthly read for June is officially Ice Planet Barbarians by Ruby Dixon. Please do your homework on the trigger warnings! The Goodreads description basically gives us the setup: being abducted by aliens should probably be the worst thing that happens to a person, but apparently not. The ship has problems, a group of human women gets left on an ice planet, and the first native inhabitant our main character meets is big, blue, horned, and very interested in her. This is boo

I bounce around between mystery, fantasy, spice, dark romance, horror, local authors, and whatever catches my attention at the exact wrong time. Sometimes I finish a book quickly. Sometimes I let

I’m currently in one of those reading moods where the books on my nightstand do not match each other at all, which honestly feels correct. Right now, I’m over halfway through To the Bones by Valerie Nieman and I’ve just started City of Gods and Monsters ("CGM") by Kayla Edwards.

Reading is not just a solitary activity; it can be a gateway to connection, discussion, and community. If you’ve ever found yourself lost in the pages of a book, yearning to share your thoughts with others, then joining a book club might be the perfect solution for you. About The Book Coven The Book Coven is a low-stakes, low-maintenance, highly magical book club. No pressure. No guilt. Just good books, good company, and the occasional group emotional spiral over fictional p
