Welcome to my weekly update for August 6, 2023! I don’t have any trips to write about this week so I’m going to post a plug for one of my friends instead. I’ve known Jessica Zellers since high school, when we were in band together. She recently launched her own editing company, Blue Legend Manuscript Services. She worked as a […]
Welcome to my weekly update for July 30 2023! Oh my goodness. I knew it had been a while since my last update but I didn’t realize that it had been over four months! It’s been a busy season. My sister visited us in Escondido, CA the first week in May. We had a great time sightseeing all over southern California. My husband […]
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share ten books we recommend to others the most. I decided that would be the same list as my ten favorite books of all time so I went rogue. I’m listing ten sets of book characters who should meet in some sort of time- and reality-bending fan fiction […]
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share our favorite audiobook narrators this week. I’m almost always listening to an audiobook while I’m cleaning, driving, or even exercising and I’m trying (with some success) to win my husband over. It was hard to limit my list to only ten. I tried to write a bit about why I like […]
Welcome to my weekly update for April 23, 2023! We went to The Flower Fields in Carlsbad, CA this week. I visited while my husband attended a work conference in 2018. It was so spectacular, I made him go back to experience it with me this year. It was even better than I remembered! These […]
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share a non-book freebie this week. “Choose your own topic that’s not related to books!…Take this time to let your readers get to know you a little!” So I decided to list ten of my favorite national parks. Unless otherwise noted, all images © Jennifer G. […]
Welcome to my weekly update for April 16, 2023! We went up to Catalina Island and spent one night last weekend. It has a couple of tiny little towns but we only visited the bigger one, Avalon, named after King Arthur’s Avalon in Alfred Lord Tennyson’s poem, Idylls of the King. It’s a beautiful island, […]
Welcome to my weekly update for April 9, 2023! Happy Easter, Happy Passover, or Ramadan Mubarak to those who celebrate! I’ve been an affiliate of Malaprop’s Bookstore in my hometown of Asheville, NC for years now. I link to their website for books I haven’t reviewed yet. I’m keeping that relationship because I love my […]
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share our top ten indie/self-published books this week, a topic suggested by Nicole at BookWyrm Knits. I don’t pay any attention to publishers, etc. so I wasn’t sure where to even start. I know The Martian by Andy Weir (which I like but never reviewed) was […]
Welcome to my weekly update for April 2, 2023! We spent last weekend with my husband’s cousin and his wife in San Diego, celebrating the cousin’s birthday. We ate way too much and had a great time with them, as we always do. On Monday, we caught a break in the rain and drove back […]
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share “Books for People Who Liked Author X” this week. That threw me for a loop for a minute. I read pretty widely at this point and I’m not terribly faithful to any one genre. Could I do this? Maybe I needed to go rogue. Then I realized the angle I needed to take. Here’s a list of […]
