A quick hint about the week ahead. I had some recent reading that covered a spectrum of life stages—not quite the norm for me but the way it fell out means that this week is going to be Growing Up in Books week. Three books written for readers of three different age ranges (hint- photos below) but read by me. The only part of this reading I didn’t like was that the age groups ... Read More...
University Book Store
Earlier this week I had such a great afternoon I knew I had to share it with all my readers AND tell you to stop reading and head to your local university. OK, don’t get in the car but at least google their bookstore. Why? Because, it could turn out to be the kind of place you escape to and not the stodgy, textbook filled tomb of your college days.

It’s a weekend of going through your blogging to-do list and getting the things done you’ve been putting off for months weeks. At the same time there are tutorials and min-challenges to learn new tips about ... Read More...
2014 TBR Pile Challenge: Master List
Hello 2014! I hope all of you had a nice holiday season and, if applicable, some time off from work to read. I got a few books read (and need to get writing about them) but was also able to visit more of the blogs I enjoy. It was when I was visiting Shannon at River City Reading that I first saw the 2014 TBR Challenge. TBR means To Be Read—which is the shorthand we book freaks ... Read More...
