Welcome to my weekly update for February 6, 2022! Today is my dad’s birthday so we were able to go home to Asheville to spend the day with him. Happy birthday, Daddy! A few weeks ago I found myself pretty close to Sullivan’s Island while running some errands. It was a beautiful weekday morning so […]
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share ten books with names in the titles. This one was pretty easy!
Welcome to my monthly wrap-up for January 2022! This is the first monthly wrap-up post I’ve written. I’m a little worried that it will overlap too much with my weekly update posts but there are some things I include there that would work better here. We shall see. I like the idea of the monthly […]
Welcome to my weekly update for January 30, 2022! My mom loves reading all of your comments on my blog and she thanks you for the birthday wishes last week. She asked me to post this picture that summarizes how we deal with snow/ice in the south. Pay attention to the headline on the bottom. […]
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share ten “New-to-Me Authors I Read in 2021.” I tend to bounce around a lot of new authors (I am terrible at finishing a book series!) so I “discovered” a lot of new ones last year. In fact, I just checked my Top Ten Books of […]
Welcome to my weekly update for January 23, 2022! This has been a low key week. Last weekend was cool and rainy here in Charleston. Back home in Asheville, they did get that 8+” of snow in the forecast so we’re glad we cancelled that trip. As I prep this post on Thursday night, we’re […]
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share ten “2021 Releases I Was Excited to Read But Didn’t Get To.” Out of the ten I was looking forward to in June, I’ve only read two so far (The Final Girl Support Group by Grady Hendrix and Gilded by Marissa Meyer). Oops. I’ll share my top ten anticipated book releases in early […]
Welcome to my weekly update for January 16, 2022! We were planning to head back home to Asheville for another visit this weekend but the 5-8″ of snow in the forecast for Sunday cancelled those plans. I know that’s nothing to some of you but that’s significant for us. If it happens, I expect officials […]
This post may be too detailed for all of you, but I enjoy taking a deep dive into my reading trends. I also like sharing favorite books from various genres that might not make it into my “Top Ten Books of the Year” post. This is always long so bear with me as I review […]
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share the ten most recent additions to our book collections this week. My husband and I stay in our RV while we travel with his job so I try hard not to actually buy books due to space constraints. I decided to list ten recent additions […]
Welcome to my weekly update for January 9, 2022! I hope everyone had happy holidays! I did not mean to disappear over the past month or so but life got busy. We spent several weekends at my parents’ house near Asheville, NC and my sister visited us here in Charleston, SC. That left little time […]
