Wait a minute—is May over? I’m pretty sure I was cheated out of a week. Or maybe it’s just that the bad news is coming at a faster pace, whether it’s the increasing attack on women’s rights or the unrelenting uptick in gun violence. I veer between apathy and a rage that wants to know: why doesn’t the government apply the same attention and rigor to young men buying guns as they ... Read More...
March Reading Recap
I'm being optimistic with this March graphic as Michigan is mired in low temperatures right now. Earlier we had 70 degrees, but that was a tease from Mother Nature. Now, the sunshine (and reading) are best enjoyed from inside. A circumstance I'm happy to use as an excuse to curl up on the couch! Dear William supposed to be a memoir about his son’s death from a ... Read More...

A lot of enjoyable reading, but very little that wowed ... Read More...

Here in Michigan we had high humidity, heat, and mosquitos right up until last week, meaning I was cranky and battling hair frizz that made me look like the bride of Frankenstein. Now, I’m bundled up in fleece and socks. In the same way that the weather was unpredictable my reading ping ponged between wonderful ... Read More...
September Reading Wrap-Up
What an odd month September has been. Traditionally, it’s the biggest month of the year in the publishing world, with all the big important books coming out. But while there were still buzzy books released this month, I had very little success with most of them. I’m relatively certain this is due to events in my personal life (the ongoing saga with my vision) because most of ... Read More...
