What have I been up to? A bit of this and a bit of that. Over the weekend, I got the notion to take a look at the Old Glory fabric collection I had been using for a sew-along last year. I had abandoned the sew-along halfway through because I was unhappy with how the […]
Welcome back to my February book reviews, part 2. This Book Made Me Think Of You by Libby Page will be for you if you enjoy a heartwarming story and books about books. Tilly Nightingale hasn’t been able to really concentrate on reading since her fiancé Joe passed away from cancer five months ago. She […]
This was a good reading month for me, considering we only had 28 days to cover. One of the books was an overlap from January, but I am counting it here since I actually finished it in early February. Six of the twelve books I read were in print, four were in digital format, and […]
I was able to read quite a bit this month, 13 books in all. I am still struggling to get through Theo of Golden, but more on that in another post. Six of the books were in print, five were digital, and two were audiobooks. Many of the titles are perfect for your Winter season […]
2025 was a great reading year for me. I read 136 books: 74 on my Kindle, 51 in print, and 11 in audio format. 26 of those books were 5 stars for me, and 45 of them were 4 stars! I see that as a big win. Here is what you might want to know […]
Just in time for your holiday reading, I have seven suggestions of Christmas reading that I know will be a hit. The Last Christmas in Paris by Hazel Gaynor and Heather Webb.

Over the past five days, I have accomplished nothing except reading these books. I am completely enchanted obsessed with this new series. The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion is a series of novellas by author Beth Brower. Set in 1883, we meet 20-year-old Emma as she returns to her family home after a three-year […]
Oh my, I certainly did read a lot this month! There were some excellent books in October, including a new Irish police procedural series I discovered. I can’t wait to share with you, so let’s dive in. The first three books I read were perfect for “spooky season”. I don’t particularly care for horror or […]
I simply could not wait until the end of the month to recommend these great October books. Honestly, these were all so good, I strongly suggest that you pick up one or more of them for the perfect seasonal reads for autumn! I am not going to go too much into plot detail here, just […]
