Welcome to my weekly update for December 18, 2022! Happy Hanukkah to those who celebrate! First, a social media update. I haven’t been very active on Twitter in years but I do share links to my blog posts there. I tried to ride the current chaos out but I decided I was done this week. […]
Welcome to my weekly update for December 4, 2022! I hope everyone who celebrates had a wonderful Thanksgiving! My husband and I were on our own on Thanksgiving day but we flew down to San Diego the following Saturday to spend a long weekend with his cousin. They’ve taken us in and treated us like […]
Welcome to the 2023 Southern Literature Reading Challenge! We’ll focus on books and authors from the southeastern region of the United States. Table of Contents: Definition of “The South” Definitions of the South are flexible, so I’ve decided to base my definition on the current makeup of the Southern Legislative Conference: That said, I’m not […]
Welcome to my weekly update for November 20, 2022! Well hello there! Long time, no see! My last update was on August 28. I wrote in that post that my husband and I were coming out of a quiet few weeks just hanging around Billings, Montana and we had a couple of busy weekends planned. […]
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share a school freebie this week. I thought about this topic for a few minutes. I’ve been out of school more years than I care to count. But learning never stops, does it? So I decided to share a list of ten books that continued my […]
Welcome to my weekly update for August 28, 2022! Three weeks in a row with no real adventures to report. This must be some sort of record for me! My husband has had to work a lot of call shifts recently so that ties us down within 30 minutes of the hospital. We’ll be out […]
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share ten “completed series that I wish had more books” this week. I am a terrible series finisher. I texted one of my friends that I had just finished the Tristan Strong trilogy this week and recommended that she read it. She replied, “If you actually […]
Welcome to my weekly update for August 21, 2022! We had another quiet week here. My husband is on call again this weekend so we have to stay within 30 minutes of the hospital. But that gives us time to recover from all our activity this summer so that’s fine by me! The organizers of […]
Welcome to my weekly update for August 14, 2022! This was a quiet week. My husband was on call at work last weekend and really just wanted to relax this weekend. I planned to read less last week so I could sort through all my Montana pictures (why take one picture when I can take […]
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share our top ten hilarious book titles this week. One series immediately leaps to my mind but other than that…we’ll see what I come up with! I have an affiliate relationship with Malaprop’s Bookstore/Cafe in beautiful Asheville, NC. I will earn a small commission at no additional cost […]
Welcome to my weekly update for August 7, 2022! My sister flew home yesterday after a fabulous visit. We all drove the Beartooth Highway on Saturday (we saw mountain goats)!) and then on Sunday my sister and I took off to spend three nights in Yellowstone. I’ve only visited the south loop on my other […]
