I was going to call today and Wednesday's posts 'The Saints that Saved My Reading', but decided my odd sense of humor might not translate well. You see, I’ve been experiencing Goldilocks reading—everything is too much or not enough and it’s annoying. That is until last week when the saints arrived. Today I’m here to talk about The Sun Down Motel by Simone St. James. Check back ... Read More...
January Reading Wrap-up
My January reading was as all over-the-board as the weather here in Ann Arbor. Some of it depressed me as much as the foot of heavy wet snow we got, but then there were some days (and books) that were pure sunshine. My art—it’s about choosing when I release the shutter.

Here are two novels that left me wonderfully freaked out and buried in books ... Read More...
November Reading Wrap-Up
November- what a month! I made it from Seattle to Ann Arbor and had a fabulous time driving across country. All our belongings showed up intact and on time with only a few hiccups. We’re still unpacking, organizing, and dealing with the ‘our furniture doesn’t fit in this space’ confusion. And getting hit with an unexpected storm that left 6” of snow behind. I knew I’d have to ... Read More...
