Goodbye, August—the last month of summer and my first summer in Michigan has wrapped up. Much like this winter, the majority of the summer was reasonable. A few days when the heat and humidity filled my veins with lead, but not as bad as it good be. In an effort to stay in a positive lane (getting harder and harder to do), my reading this month was all about quality not ... Read More...
July Reading Wrap-Up
Goodbye, July! My first full month of real summer in the Midwest. What I loved: fireflies, thunder and rain storms that last for hours. What is not so much: humidity that flattens me but makes my hair explode. And flies. So many flies! Why?

I know this is a book blog ... Read More...

The loss of normalcy and routine means that even as restrictions in Michigan ease I feel unsettled going out and saddened by the fact that what was once normal may not be that way for the foreseeable future. This ongoing uncertainty has led ... Read More...
April Reading Recap
What to say about April? That I had very little clue the month was ending because I’m lucky if I can remember what day of the week it is? That, despite having nowhere to go I read fewer books this month than any other month this year? I have no answers, except that we’re not in Kansas anymore. Normal is another world and anyone who thinks they can click their heels when these ... Read More...
