My birthday was back in October and Paul definitely pulled out all the stops. It felt like we celebrated all month long between concerts, date nights, and a trip to Paris. He truly made it special for me in so many ways! One of the sweetest things he did for me was to give me […]
It was another month of good reads! I read so much over the last month that I came to a place where I had nothing to read. I flew through my TBR pile and then it was like, oh crap…I’m without a book! In my world that’s kind of a tragedy. I quickly placed an […]
I’ve had lots of time to read lately (check out our recent travels here) but was still surprised when I looked over what I finished this past month. The August 2021 reading list has a total of six books which I enjoyed immensely. As it’s still summer, I’m always looking for the next great pool […]
It’s been a couple months since my last reading list post (I blame the holidays – too much fun 😉), but if you’re curious about all my book lists you can grab them here. I like to produce small reading lists of 4-5 novels that I’ve read lately, and if you’re new here, you’ll see […]
This is my favorite time of year to do a reading list post. In the fall, I love nothing more than snuggling under a blanket with my dogs and reading a great book. It’s the start of cozy season, am I right? Lately I’ve been reading just about anything. I do go through spurts where […]
I’m still hooked on good ol’ thrillers this month. I don’t know what it is exactly, but I’ve been reading as many thrillers as I can get my hands on these days. I think it’s partly due to the fact that everyday is pretty much the same, and I need that feeling of something exciting […]
Reading is one of my most relaxing pastimes. I love the escape that a really good story provides. I love it when I finish a book and it stays with me for days or even longer, the characters sticking with me as I go about my usual routines. When the story is that good, I […]
Happy Halloween, everyone! Are you trick-or-treating, handing out handy, watching the World Series, or all of the above? We will be handing out candy, binge watching Stranger Things season 2 and checking the game (Go Astros!). We hope to have some kiddos come by this year. The last couple of years we have had one […]
Ever since I was a kid and read Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, I’ve been hooked on spooky tales. Mystery, suspense, psychological thriller, unusual and unexplained, urban legends, and ghosts have kept me in the scary stacks of the bookstore and library for years. I love the thrill a frightening tale can give […]
Now that Memorial Day weekend has come and gone, most of us are in summer mode. Pool days, road trips, staycations, flights, and just lounging around the house are great times to enjoy a good read. Something you may not know about me is that I was a librarian in a former life. No, not the […]
Thank goodness for Thursday, or “Friday Eve” as I like to say! We are past the mid-week hump and from here on it’s downhill to the weekend. This week has been so busy that I haven’t been able to post regularly, and for that I apologize. I’m going to be so happy to see my […]
