I have read some wonderful books during September and October, and I am so excited to share my favorites with you. Grab yourself a cup of tea or coffee and settle in for a long post. My reading lately seems to be leaning towards coming of age stories, which is a genre I have always […]
This book. This book was absolutely, totally, completely satisfying. I loved this book. If you are a fan of the family saga genre, there is a very good chance you will enjoy it as well. Cyril makes a fortune in the 50s and 60s by buying and selling real estate. His unhappy wife leaves him, […]
Ugh. It has been so hot here. Way too hot to go upstairs and sew. So, I have booted Ozzie out of my favorite chair and have been enjoying the most delicious book. I got this one at the library, as it is a newer release. The Summer Country by Lauren Willig. I have read […]
Have you ever been the victim of a reading slump? There is nothing worse, really. Wanting to pick up a really engrossing book and not having any idea where to begin is just torture. Well, never fear, I have some ideas for you! Four of these books are quite long, and one is rather short. […]

This account will be devoted to my recently read or acquired books, which will be photographed on or with some favorite quilts. I will be doing […]

I got this little table runner back from the quilter last week. I have the binding attached but not sewn down. The quilt is one twelve inch Ohio Star block, four six inch Ohio Star blocks and twelve flying geese. I had some Fig Tree reds in a bin, which is what I used. Easy […]
So guess what came to my house yesterday? I may be the last person on the planet to get one of these, but I am now the owner of an Instant Pot! The Instant Pot is the modern version of a pressure cooker, with the addition of the features of being able to saute and […]
One way I was able to get so many books "read" during 2018 is that a number of them were audio versions of a book. I belong to Audible.com and have been a member for at least ten years. When I first joined, they would send you a CD in the mail that you would […]
I read a lot of books in 2018, but I also encountered some that "just weren't for me". In other words, books I disliked. What is your philosophy on finishing a book you are not enjoying? I used to think I should try to stick it out until the end. After all, 1) I'd paid […]
