Welcome to my weekly update for February 21, 2021! We’re still in Tucson at the moment. For Valentine’s Day, we went to the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, which is more like a zoo. We were excited to finally see a javelina! The gray wolves were beautiful. Posted: Nothing. My husband has taken some time off between Continue Reading…
Welcome to my weekly update for February 14, 2021! Happy Valentine’s Day! I’ve had another busy week so there hasn’t been much going on in my little corner of the blogosphere. We left Joshua Tree National Park and headed to Saguaro National Park, staying as socially distanced as we can by traveling and staying in Continue Reading…
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share a Valentine’s Day/Love Freebie this week. I’m not a big romance reader but I do pick up the genre occasionally. I also don’t object if books in other genres have a strong romance angle. So here are my top ten romantic books. (Links go to Continue Reading…
Welcome to my weekly update for February 7, 2021! The governor lifted Southern California’s stay-at-home orders so my husband and I took the opportunity to drive our RV up to Joshua Tree National Park for a long weekend. We’ve had beautiful weather while we’ve been here. It’s so nice to get out and hike again! Continue Reading…
Hosted by Books Are My Favourite and Best on the first Saturday of every month, this meme asks us to start with one title and create a chain of bookish connections to see where it takes us. This month, we’re going from Redhead by the Side of the Road to A Game of Thrones. Redhead by the Continue Reading…
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share “Books Written Before I Was Born (These can be books you’ve read or want to read!).” I’m going to share a list of some of my favorite classics. Links go to my review, if I’ve written one, or to the Malaprop’s bookstore website. Anne of Continue Reading…
Welcome to my weekly update for January 31, 2021! I mentioned the virtual Parade Across America last week and several of you said you missed it as well. I streamed it from the official Biden/Harris inauguration page but that video has been taken down now. This WBUR video appears to contain the whole parade instead. Continue Reading…
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share “ten new-to-me authors I read in 2020.” I tend to read a lot of new-to-me authors and several books from my top ten books of 2020 would work for this prompt. I decided to list authors who didn’t appear on that list but whose works Continue Reading…
Welcome to my weekly update for January 24, 2021! It’s been a quiet week here. I watched the inauguration ceremonies for at least half a day. I’m relieved that everything went off smoothly. I missed the Virtual Parade Across America because my TV station went to local news but I did stream it later. I Continue Reading…
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share the “books I meant to read in 2020 but didn’t get to.” If you’ve been around my blog for any amount of time, you’ll know that I’m a mood reader and make very few bookish plans. So that means I’m posting my own list again this week. I shared my Top Ten Adult Audiobooks a couple […]
Welcome to my weekly update for January 17, 2021! This week we’ll finally be inaugurating Joe Biden as our 46th president here in the US. I pray that this week passes uneventfully and the transfer of power is peaceful. We took the picture on the left at Strand Beach on a walk last week and Continue Reading…
