Somehow February has become a dreary month, both for my reading…and well, everything. Bad news and toxicity all around. We’ve been fortunate not to get much snow here in Ann Arbor, but where we live there’s nothing but brown and gray for miles, with a sullen sky overhead. I’m grateful we’ve had very little snow and only a few days with temperatures in the teens, but these ... Read More...
Summer Fun Reading: Mini-Reviews
Summer fun reading means something different to everyone. For some it's a chance to finally slow down and sink into longer, deeper reading, but for others it's a time of toss-away reading—books that you're not invested in, that you don't care if they get left behind at the beach, pool, or vacation spot.
