About me

Illustrated portrait of Paige Ellison

I've worked as a collections coordinator at a small local history museum here in Savannah for about six years now, cataloging donated objects, figuring out archival storage, writing the little placards nobody reads closely enough. before that I was doing inventory for a shipping company, which honestly trained the same muscle: knowing where everything is and why it's there. I got into modern board games through a coworker who dragged me to a game night I only agreed to once, and I never really left. I read constantly, mostly at night with tea going cold next to me, and I'll be honest that my shelf has more books I haven't reviewed yet than ones I have.

I'm a collections coordinator at a small local history museum in Savannah, which means my day job is basically deciding where things go and how they should be stored, and it turns out that habit does not stay at work. I read across genres more than I read within one, hard sci-fi next to a scholarly essay next to whatever epic fantasy someone lent me, and I play board games the way I catalog artifacts: I want to know exactly how the pieces are supposed to fit before I decide if the whole thing works. I write about a book or a game after I've actually finished it and thought about it for a while, which is why I never manage to post on any kind of schedule.

Where I am: Savannah, Georgia

Still figuring out a posting rhythm here. No affiliate links, nothing sponsored, just what's actually on the shelf.

What's here

Book reviews, board game reviews, and personal essays. No schedule, no affiliate links, nothing sponsored. I write about a book or a game after I've actually finished it and have something to say, which is why the dates on here are irregular.
