Thanks to an unexpected change in our evening plans, I wound up at the public library with my oldest who reminded me of their DVD collection. So I borrowed a couple. Last night I watched Little Women. My husband played his game and would pause to watch me watch the movie. I sit and stareContinue reading “Nostalgia Movies”

Cozy Comforts
As Fall weather has begun teasing us at the end of August, I’m trying to get another sweater done before the season really starts. I’m using a pattern from a magazine featuring 90’s style knits (with just a few creative changes). Legends and Lattes by Travis Baldree has me in the mood for a bigContinue reading “Cozy Comforts”
Need to Focus -Book!
I need to read. I’m editing my first novel, which is going well, and I’m having fun. But I need to read! I’m currently reading Legends and Lattes, curtesy of the public library. I’ve been hearing about it for a while now and am finally getting to it. I’m really enjoying it, but I canContinue reading “Need to Focus -Book!”
A Vampire Ballet
Reading these books is like taking a deep breath and running headlong down a dark tunnel, with sporadic pools of light, at full speed. I’m constantly taking little breaks to get some air and a rest. Then it’s right back to the action. It’s like coming home when I read these books. Like I canContinue reading “A Vampire Ballet”
So, Um… I Bought Them All
Recently, we celebrated my husband’s birthday with dinner out and then bought books and drinks to celebrate the end of another doosey of a school year. I had just heard about a book on a podcast and went in search of it. That’s when I saw The Deer and the Dragon. I’ve seen many ofContinue reading “So, Um… I Bought Them All”
To Read or to Write?
The novel writing is back on track, but now, the only thing I’m reading is my own story. I mean, obviously it’s good. Amazing even. But I’m rereading and rereading the same scenes and putting to the page scenes that have already played on a loop in my head. I love it, but I missContinue reading “To Read or to Write?”
End of the Year Roundup
Considering how the second half of this year went I’m really happy with how much reading I accomplished. Thirty six books. Most of those were read before August and none in November or December. So, I’m impressed. I really loved reading the Heartstopper books in order with the novellas. I love the show, but theseContinue reading “End of the Year Roundup”
Short Break
I’m taking a short break from writing (it’s still being worked on in my head, of course). I’m trying to get some hats knit up to sell for the holiday. Get some backup stock and a gift done. This time of year is always a struggle. It’s especially so this year. I’m trying to enjoyContinue reading “Short Break”
Oh, It’s a Series
I don’t recall ever picking up a book simply because I liked the first one by the author that I read, but that is what I did with this one. Barely having skimmed the description on the back, I brought it home. Then it sat for a few months. It starts off with a punch.Continue reading “Oh, It’s a Series”
Beautiful Homage
I have loved Edgar Allan Poe since I was a little girl. My mom bought me some abridged versions of his stories, happy to feed whatever kind of reading interest I had. I watched different film versions of his stories with my dad on PBS. I even went to a Poe Mansion event at aContinue reading “Beautiful Homage”
