I bought this lap desk for my husband, thinking he could use it to rest his laptop when he was sitting in his chair, which was most of the time. He hasn't used it once, but it works great for me as a reading accessory. It is so nice to rest my book on it […]
I won't lie, my reading life has taken a bit hit over the past couple of months. It's been hard to concentrate for one thing, and for another, I never seem to have a minute to sit down. I literally go from one task to another the entire time I am awake. It won't be […]
Sara and I put out our latest book review podcast this weekend. Click on the Reeding Between the Lines link to the right to listen or watch us on YouTube. Needless to say, with my husband's health issues, the past month hasn't been my best reading month. However, I did manage to read a few […]
I wanted to put up a quick post for Tuesday before we had to the Bay Area for my husband's MRI. Sara and I have a new podcast/YouTube video up. Our topic for October is "Witchy Reads", where we discuss some cozy and not too scary books featuring witches and women with "unusual abilities". Click […]
Today's post is a mish mash of various things I have been fiddling with lately. I did get my Base Camp blocks together for this fun fall table runner. I do think I need to add a narrow border of the background all around to make it look more finished. No problem, if I can […]

This was a month for super long books! I may not have read as many books as usual in the month of July, but I did read some excellent ones. I read 9 books, and got through 500 pages of another one that I quit reading halfway through. I've decided the world does not need […]
June was a fairly good reading month for me. Only one book knocked my socks off, but there were a few that I found quite enjoyable. I concentrated on lighter reading material this month. I haven't been in the mood for anything terribly literary or heavy. I felt like being entertained and these books mostly […]
The winner of my little contest this week to see if anybody was reading my posts is Claire! I swear I did the random number generator thing, but I have to admit she left me the kindest message: "I am a relatively new subscriber and was so thrilled to discover your blog a couple of […]
I was on vacation in May, so my reading suffered a bit as a result. I read a total of 11 books, 9 of which I will describe here. I began the month with a few books with heavier themes but later embraced books with a brighter focus, a trend which I think will continue […]
