My reading has been going great lately. I must be getting better at picking out books and realizing what type of book suits or doesn't suit my taste. I can see a pattern of me picking a lot fewer thrillers for one thing. I read 11 books in March, one of which is sure to […]
February was a pretty great reading month. For such a short month, I was happy to have finished 11 books. One audio, four in print, and seven digital books on my Kindle. I bought myself a new Kindle Paperwhite after Christmas and am really enjoying the larger screen and super long battery life. So let's […]
I won't lie, I buy a lot of books. I belong to Book of the Month club, plus I make a lot of purchases on Amazon and through indie bookstores. This batch in the photo above are the most recent acquisitions. My over flow shelf in the living room. To be fair, the stack in […]
With January seeming to last 51 days rather than 31, I would have thought I might have read more books, but it turned out to be a fairly average reading month. I read six books on my Kindle, two books in print, and listened to one audiobook. One of the books was a digital "advance […]
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 […]
Books of August 2024 I read 14 books in August, and I'll share 12 of them here. I loved three of them, and the rest were pretty good (except for a couple). The Appeal by Janice Hallett was just excellent. It has a different sort of format, but I had no trouble getting into its […]
