Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share “Ten Books on My Fall 2021 TBR” (To Be Read list). I’m very much a mood reader but with Halloween just around the corner, Banned Books Week coming up in a few days, and several of my reading challenges having monthly prompts, I decided I […]
Welcome to my weekly update for September 19, 2021! We didn’t do much after my sister left last weekend but we drove up to Fairbanks for this weekend (more about that next week). The fog had Anchorage socked in when we left but as we drove further north, the air became crystal clear. We had […]
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share ten books with numbers in the title this week. That’s straightforward enough so let’s get started! One for the Money by Janet Evanovich (Tempting as it was, I did decide not to list […]
Welcome to my weekly update for September 12, 2021! My husband and I shared a wonderful week with my sister. She flew home last night. We did realize that a lot of tours and excursions end on Labor Day in Alaska, so I don’t think she was able to visit as many places as she […]
Welcome to my weekly update for September 5, 2021! My sister arrives for a weeklong visit this evening (Friday)! I’m so excited to see her! We don’t have many specific plans but we are going to leave tomorrow to spend the weekend in Seward. She asked to do a sightseeing cruise and to visit the […]
Welcome to my weekly update for August 29, 2021! I wrote last week about the flooding that affected so many back home in western North Carolina on August 17. Six people died and lots of families lost their homes. Please continue to keep the region in your thoughts and prayers. If you’re willing and able, […]
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share “Books I Wish I Could Read Again for the First Time” this week. At first glance the topic may sound weird but there is a difference between re-reading an old favorite and reading a new favorite for the very first time. There’s so much excitement as you realize how much you love […]
Welcome to my weekly update for August 22, 2021! If you’ve been around here much, you probably know that my husband and I travel with his job. You might not know that our permanent home is in the mountains of western North Carolina (near Asheville). Anyway, on Tuesday, Tropical Storm Fred came roaring up over […]
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share our ten favorite places to read this week. I don’t have pictures of all of these places but here goes! The beach. Well, now that I’ve traveled enough to really understand that not all beaches are warm, let me specify a warm, sunny beach. I […]
Welcome to my weekly update for August 15, 2021! We’ve had a rainy week in Anchorage so we haven’t ventured out much. We did go to the Alaska Botanical Gardens last Saturday. It was small but beautiful! My husband’s cousin and his wife are flying up from San Diego on Thursday to spend a long […]
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share ten secondary characters who deserve more love. I have a shelf full of books featuring characters I love on GoodReads so this was pretty easy to compile. I used to host a meme called Character Connection on my first turn at book blogging so I’ll link to some of those […]
