November Mini-Reviews

Catherine — Thu, 21 Nov 2019 08:24:14 +0000

February Reading Wrap-Up

Catherine — Fri, 01 Mar 2019 08:25:35 +0000

February—what a month! On the personal side there was what was known in Seattle as Snowmageddon: 10 days when we were slammed with 3 different storms that left us with 15” inches of snow, unplowed roads, and empty grocery stores. I realize all you readers in places where snow is the norm are laughing right […]

My (Not So) Perfect Life

Catherine — Fri, 20 Jan 2017 08:25:52 +0000

Oh, happy day! Sophie Kinsella is back and she still has her fingers on the pulse of the twenty-something woman (and the older women who often like reading about them). To anyone who knows me, Kinsella leads off my chick-lit, make-it-all-go-away reading. And lately, that’s about all I can seem to manage. In My […]

December Mini-Reviews

Catherine — Wed, 31 Dec 2014 08:04:55 +0000

Catherine — Fri, 19 Jul 2013 07:34:34 +0000
