This year has been a reading rollercoaster—exciting highs mixed with ho-hum lows. No sooner was I soaring from some fantastic piece of fiction than I was shutting a book after 100 pages because ‘life is too short’ to keep reading something that isn’t holding my interest or is poorly written. Now, as it comes to a close, I’ve corralled the reading I love into lists. Today is ... Read More...
Give a Book!
It’s that time of year when most of us are feeling pulled in even more directions than usual. Work+family+holidays= overload. Too much to do and not enough time to do it so, in the spirit of giving, I’m going to give you, my favorite readers, the perfect excuse to grab a warm beverage and sit back for a moment. If anyone asks, you’re working on gift ideas (nudge nudge, wink ... Read More...
It’s Monday, October 12th: What are You Reading?

How about you? Is this the beginning of reading weather or do you have fall activities that keep you busy? If you do have time for reading, what are you reading now? Our house is ... Read More...
Picture This
It’s been said by some (mostly my husband and my mother) that I read A LOT. That I can then write about it is even more confounding to them. It’s always been difficult, but in that great way that anything worthwhile is. When I can find the right words to convey to a reader what it is about a particular book that moved me or made me think, it is the best feeling in the world. ... Read More...
Free-Form Monday
I’ve been passive-aggressively alluding to the renovation we’ve been living through for the past three months but it’s finally reached the point where our contractor said that even though there is still work to be done (and fixes to be made) we could start unpacking this past weekend. Oh, happy day! What this means is that despite my best efforts, reading in ‘review ... Read More...
