I need to start devoting more time to reading. I’ve been so overwhelmed lately that I’ve been soothing myself with cross stitch and watching Downton Abbey for the hundredth time. The hyper focusing helps me quiet the inner monologue. I had planned on taking the girls to Barnes and Noble, and since my mom isContinue reading “I Bought More Books”

Discovering Runes
Every once in a while, I get an idea in my head that I can’t give up on until I do it. Having a set of runes and a book on them was the most recent. I was watching one of my favorite shows, The Good Witch, and runes were featured in a few episodesContinue reading “Discovering Runes”
Found the Library!
We don’t spend as much time reading as I would like, but we are a family of readers. I have been meaning to check out the library in town since we moved in in May, but life… Finally we made it over after school a couple weeks ago and the kids were thrilled. It’s veryContinue reading “Found the Library!”
Post Apocalyptic Red Riding Hood
I finally finished this one and it did not disappoint. This was the kind of adventure that kept me reading on, trying to figure out the pieces. I admit to taking breaks. These end of the world stories often sweep me up and, considering the world’s and this country’s current condition, it could be aContinue reading “Post Apocalyptic Red Riding Hood”
Another Book Done
I’m making my way through those three books I have been reading and finished Life and Death by Stephanie Meyers the other day. This version of the Twilight tale was much more in line with the vampire novels I grew up reading. There was the gut wrenching reality of dying in order to be reborn.Continue reading “Another Book Done”
Rabbits Review
That was one wild ride. My mom finished it before I did and so we haven’t really talked much about it yet to make sure I didn’t accidentally get any spoilers. The only thing she said was that she wasn’t sure how she felt about the ending. Now that I have finished it, I understandContinue reading “Rabbits Review”
The Three I’m Reading
I went to the bookstore when I should not be buying books, but I had been left in such a fog after The Sun is Not the Only Star that I had to find something epic to follow it. After wandering among the shelves and picking up this book and that one, only to putContinue reading “The Three I’m Reading”
Book Review Time
I’m writing this from my phone because I’m letting our youngest play games while I rest a bit. It’s been busy. I mean to write a post and then stuff interrupts. Lately it’s been my mood getting in the way, but I’m coming out of the muck and getting things done. This book was aContinue reading “Book Review Time”
Wrapping up a Couple Favorites
I’ve been kind of slacking on my reading lately, yet new books keep making their way into my house somehow. It was time to finish up a couple that I have been invested in for almost a year. First to hit the finished pile was Not All Princes Are Fearless. It‘s the third in theContinue reading “Wrapping up a Couple Favorites”
Read This Next!
I have always been a bit of an optimist. Some people might disagree with me on that and I’ll admit there were times when I doubted my optimism. But life has done its best to show me the truth in humanity. People are, in fact, innately good. Over the years I’ve been given examples orContinue reading “Read This Next!”
