February 2022 was another great reading month for me. I read 12 books. Two in print, three on audio, seven digital (Kindle). I seem to be selecting books better than before, based on my higher ratings. Four of the books I read were 5 stars for me, and four of them were 4 stars. None […]
I've blown my spending allowance on books rather than fabric lately. The books in the photo above are new releases that I just couldn't resist. Three of them are Book of the Month selections. The Love of My Life is the Good Morning America book club choice for March. The others I bought from my […]
What a great reading month this January was for me! I read 11 books. 6 digital (on my Kindle), 2 audio, and 3 physical. Astonishingly, a total of 7 books ranked 4 or 5 stars. This month I concentrated on mainly reading books that I already owned, something I need to do more of. All […]
2021 was an outstanding reading year for me. I read a total of 125 books! More important than that number, however, is the fact that out of those books, 23 of them earned 5 star ratings from me. Here are my stats: 33 books in Hardback67 books on my Kindle25 books on Audio Here is […]
Well, this was a disappointing reading month for me. Only 8 books. Two hard copies, two audiobooks and four Kindle books. One five-star read, two four and a half-stars, and five that ranked from pretty good to ick. My reviews in order of preference below: Raft of Stars by Andrew J. Graff. This book was […]
October was a very good reading month. I read nine books this month. Three hardback books, three audio books, and three books on my Kindle. Five books were excellent, three were varying stages of good, and one was just weird. "The Lost Girls of Devon" by Barbara O'Neal was pretty good. The plot of this […]
I know I am so lucky to have such a lovely reading nook. I do enjoy it, whenever I can slip in when Ozzie isn't ensconced in my chair. This week has been kind of a bust sewing-wise because whenever I have a free moment, I want to sit down and read a few more […]
I am a bit distracted this week, because I started a new book that I have been eagerly anticipating. "The Lincoln Highway" by Amor Towles. O.M.G. I loved his previous books, "Rules of CIvility" and "A Gentleman of Moscow". This one may be my favorite of all. If you liked WIlliam Kent Kruger's "This Tender […]
I read 9 books in September and enjoyed most of them quite a bit. Grab a cup of coffee, this post is a long one! "Forever, Interrupted" by Taylor Jenkins-Reid was very sad for me. I loved the author's other books "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo", "Daisy Jones and the Six", and most recently […]
Eva and I do a cooking project every Tuesday and this week we made Sugar Cookies. Melt-in-your-mouth-delicious sugar cookies! My Great Grandma Tillie made sugar cookies all the time and they were such a favorite of mine when I was growing up in Michigan. Hers were kind of puffy and each one had a big […]
