Top Ten Tuesday: Books I Could Re-read Forever
When I was a kid, I was a big re-reader – I loved The Babysitter’s Club, The American Girl books and a ton of other titles that I checked out probably more times than anyone else at the library. As an adult, I’m trying so hard to stay up-to-date with new titles, that…

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? 2/26/18
I definitely need to spend some more time reading as a couple of late nights and an all day work event on Saturday tied up most of my reading time! Sadly, I didn’t get a chance to read much at all and so I still have a TON of things…

Top Ten Tuesday: Books I Really Liked but Can’t Remember Anything About
This theme is so perfect for me because I can never remember what books are about – I barely remember titles and authors, but I can usually remember covers and remember if I read it, as for details – once I finish a title, those details leave my brain to…

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? 1/21/18
I’m currently on a reading roll, I love how much time I’m devoting to reading and I feel better for doing so. I tend to feel a little more balanced, relaxed and comfortable when I’m reading regularly. This week I read: A Rambler Steals Home by Carter Higgins The Poet’s…
