Random Trivial Things

  • Fair Warning
    Karin writes about women’s feelings, the journeys our hearts make as we go through life, how we relate to our colleagues, our lovers, our family, and how we act and react to the vagaries of fate. Anyone who thinks these topics somehow add up to “trash” should probably keep well away from her.

Random Shiny Things

  • My Lady Lipstick at Les Rêveur
    ...The star of the show was Paris, I finished the book with a rather big crush on her. She was quiet, sweet and a little butch with a big heart. Honestly, she was the whole delicious package.
  • Wonderful Sense of Humour – Wind in Her Hair
    I love the interactions between Irene and the coin which for an ‘inanimate’ object has a wonderful sense of humour.
