Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share ten characters who redeemed themselves this week (Topic suggested by Deanna at A Novel Glimpse). I am an absolute sucker for a good redemption story but I may find this to be a difficult topic because my memory for book details is not that great […]
Welcome to my weekly update for September 15, 2024! After two busy weekends back-to-back, we spent last weekend mostly relaxing at home. We did go to Indian Ladder Farms on Sunday, where we bought two different kinds of apples that we’d never heard of before (Sansas and Zestars), had pizza from our favorite local pizza Continue Reading…
Welcome to my weekly update for September 8, 2024! My husband has a lot of long weekends on his schedule suddenly so we took the opportunity last weekend to visit Connecticut and Rhode Island, two states we haven’t visited before. We only count a state as “visited” once we’ve actually done […]
I started tracking my reading on The StoryGraph in addition to GoodReads this year. There are things I like and things I think could improve on both platforms. One of the things I’m excited to see on The StoryGraph are the monthly and yearly graphs. Nicole at BookWyrm Knits always has beautiful […]
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share ten books involving food (that are not cookbooks). I started writing that list and realized that I was recreating a past Top Ten Tuesday, Books That Make Me Hungry. So I’m going to write about ten fictional story collections that I liked […]
Welcome to my weekly update for September 1, 2024! I didn’t have anything to report on the personal front as I wrote last week’s post but that weekend we visited New York City. For all intents and purposes, this was my first visit. I’ve never been drawn to large cities because I’m not a fan of […]
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share ten posts about ourselves this week. I usually share some personal details in my Weekly Update posts so if you follow those, you know quite a bit about me. But here are some dedicated posts about me. Back to Blogging–I wrote this in 2020 after […]
Welcome to my weekly update for August 25, 2024! This has been a quiet week so far so I don’t have much to report on the personal front. If you were here last week, you know that my local-for-now library was having a contest to name their new carts. I voted for Wheel Gaiman but I was in the […]
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to “Pick a relationship type and choose characters who fit that relationship as it relates to you. So, characters you’d like to date, be friends with, be enemies with, etc.” As a shy introvert, big personalities attract me and repel me at the same time […]
Welcome to my weekly update for August 18, 2024! I made it back for a second week in a row! Woohoo! On Tuesday, we went to Lake George, NY. It’s a beautiful, clear lake nestled in the Adirondacks. We took a ride on a steamship called the Minne-Ha-Ha, named after a character in Longfellow’s […]
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share ten travel books this week. I’ve written about Books That Awaken My Travel Bug in the past so I’m posting a topic I missed instead–ten debut novels I enjoyed. I’ve tried to mostly choose books that are older or a little off the radar. I rated all […]
