Welcome to my weekly update for April 25, 2021! I got my second vaccine on Friday! I was scheduled to get it at CVS on Thursday but CVS cancelled that appointment at the last minute. A brief scramble led me to Walgreens and they took care of me. As I write this about 24 hours […]
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share ten colorful book covers this week. I thought about choosing ten covers with crazy colors but I couldn’t think of any books I’ve read to fit that prompt. So instead, I made my own rainbow of covers, choosing one cover to represent each color of […]
Welcome to my weekly update for April 18, 2021! My best friend from high school and her husband (both fully vaccinated) are stopping by to see us this weekend on their way to their vacation. We can’t wait to see them! I haven’t seen them in over a year and my husband hasn’t seen them […]
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share ten book titles that work as Crayola color names this week. This is a bit abstract for me but I do love colors (there isn’t a white wall in my house back home and I’m trying to convince my husband to let me paint our […]
Welcome to my weekly update for April 11, 2021! First of all, my apologies that I haven’t been visiting other blogs as often as I usually do. At first we were traveling around national parks in Arizona while we were nailing down my husband’s next work assignment. But now that we’ve settled in Florida, our […]
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share ten “Books I’d Throw into the Ocean.” I interpret this to mean books that are just so terrible (in my humble opinion) that I think they belong at the bottom of the ocean. A few weeks ago, I shared ten books I gave away and […]
Welcome to my weekly update for April 4, 2021! Happy Easter to all who celebrate! I got my first COVID vaccine on Wednesday! I truly thought it would be summer before I was eligible but Florida opened up to everyone age 40+ so I jumped at the opportunity. Florida’s law requiring that I prove seasonal […]
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 starting with Shuggie Bain by Douglas Stuart and I’m ending at Room by Emma Donoghue. I haven’t […]
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share “ten places in books where I’d love to live.” This is a fun prompt! I decided to focus on fantasy books. It was surprisingly hard to choose! I didn’t want to choose a place like Westeros, where I would probably be killed in a war […]
Welcome to my weekly update for March 28, 2021! My husband and I met his parents at a park for a picnic last Monday. Everyone except me is fully vaccinated and the park was largely empty so it felt pretty safe. It was nice to see them and catch up! We haven’t seen them since […]
Welcome to my weekly update for March 21, 2021! My husband and I share a car while we’re traveling with his job. I’ve been trying to drop him off at work and head over to Siesta Key for a walk as the sun comes up and before the crowds arrive. I’m not a morning person […]
