I’m trying to keep it simple this week with what I’m reading now because there is no knowing where my head is going to be after today. If you’re a regular reader of this blog then you already know where I stand so I won’t belabor the point. Suffice it to say, I’m not sure when I’ll be in the space to write reviews again so bear with ... Read More...
The Year Ends
Happy holidays, everyone! As we race towards the end of 2023 I’ve realized I need to take a break and reset so I won’t be posting again until next year.

And it’s not about the fact that I’m still growing out my formerly brunette hair color. ... Read More...
Gilmore Guide News
No review today, my dears. Just an update and some positive, fun news. No, it’s not about my hair which is a hot mess, but I’m owning growing in the gray and, more importantly, I'm happy and healthy. You may have noticed, from time to time I mention and post links to a podcast I appear on called Sarah’s Book Shelves Live. Well, it seems people like hearing me talk ... Read More...
