I did it. I wrote a post in a writing group. I tend to avoid engaging in conversations on Facebook outside of friendly ones with people I’m actually friends with. It’s opening a can of worms and there’s a reason I dropped out of debate club in high school. I can totally appreciate people havingContinue reading “I Wrote a Facebook Post”

Slow Beginnings
*Deep breath* I’m currently working on two large writing projects, while also having a plethora of ideas for other, smaller writing projects. I’m using notebooks and pens. Ideas come in short bursts. Which leaves time for other things. Like another project in a different area. Both novels have been with me since my youth. IContinue reading “Slow Beginnings”
The Books We Keep: Childhood Favorites
No matter how many times I’ve moved I have always made sure to hang onto my books. I have picture books that hold more stories than the pages contain. The American Girl Felicity collection that I’ve treasured since the day I got each of them. Early reading chapter books. My mother’s Nancy Drew hardcovers. IContinue reading “The Books We Keep: Childhood Favorites”
Finding Kindred Book Lovers
There was this wonderful woman I worked with briefly when I first started where I am now. We were having a conversation about books and how we almost never get good recommendations or find other people who read what we like to read. I just so happen to have read the first two books ofContinue reading “Finding Kindred Book Lovers”
Three Days
It only took me three days. My kids are shocked. I’m in the middle of five or six books right now that I’m rarely inspired to pick up. This one, however, captured my attention and didn’t let go. I’d call it a spunky folk horror. It’s been a couple days and I’m still a bitContinue reading “Three Days”
Yes, I Bought More Books
Every couple of months I splurge and take the girls to Barnes & Noble. They love it and it’s something my mom used to do with my siblings and me when the store was beginning its nationwide boom. I have recently found myself craving real horror stories. I used to read a lot of scaryContinue reading “Yes, I Bought More Books”
Practical Magic Review
I almost didn’t buy this book. It was the first one I picked up on one of my rare trips to Barnes & Noble by myself. I then found another book and then another. I wandered a bit holding all three, debating on the cost, my desire for more books, and the plethora of unreadContinue reading “Practical Magic Review”
Yes, Another Murder Mystery
I am loving this book! And yet again, I forgot I was reading a murder mystery until someone was dead. It was a shock. I’m always tickled when writers write about the magic of books. I mean, what good writer doesn’t know the power of words on paper, bound together, and placed on a shelf?Continue reading “Yes, Another Murder Mystery”
Murder Mystery Mood
Finished Brownies and Broomsticks today. I really appreciated the more down to earth approach to magic and spellwork. I especially liked the connection between quantum physics and magic. My only real issue is that there are two fellas equally interested in the protagonist and that scenario always makes me uncomfortable. She handles it well, though,Continue reading “Murder Mystery Mood”
A Magical Bakery Mystery and Knitting
I finally decided to go ahead and let myself read the books I really want to instead of not reading at all. I have every intention of continuing to make my way through Dark Matter and the Dinosaurs, but it takes a lot of focus and I really want to knit at the same time.Continue reading “A Magical Bakery Mystery and Knitting”
