Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share our top ten reasons we love reading this week. That wasn’t really speaking to me since I felt that topic would get repetitive across many blogs, so I looked back through old prompts for other ideas. This week, I’m sharing the top ten books that […]
Welcome to my weekly update for July 4, 2021! Happy Independence Day, my fellow Americans! As I write this on Friday, we haven’t made any plans for the long weekend yet. Someone pointed out that Alaska is not the best place for 4th of July fireworks since we don’t really see any darkness at this […]
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share our top ten anticipated book releases for the remainder of 2021. I don’t usually track release dates; instead, I just check out whatever catches me eye at the library. I did look through Publisher’s Weekly for this post to see if there are any books […]
Welcome to my weekly update for June 27, 2021! If you’re new here, you might not know that my husband is a traveling healthcare professional. He accepts three-month assignments to fill staffing needs at hospitals around the country and I tag along. I take care of chores and errands while he’s at work so that […]

Welcome to my weekly update for May 23, 2021! My husband and I haven’t watched very many sunsets since we’ve been on the Gulf coast of Florida, which is a shame. I do love a good sunset. We’re trying to make up for lost time now that we’ve only got a few weeks left here. […]
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share ten book titles that are complete sentences this week. I was afraid it would take me forever to find books for this post! It did take longer than I would have liked but I obviously found enough. Apparently, if you want me to read your […]
