Welcome to my weekly update for July 31, 2022! My sister is here visiting this week so I’ll keep my post brief. As my husband and I drove home to Billings from Rapid City, SD last Saturday, we stopped by Devils Tower National Monument. It was really something to see! Apparently the name “Devil’s Tower” […]
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share “ten books from seasonal TBR posts I haven’t read.” I’m such a mood reader, I usually bow out of seasonal TBR (To Be Read) topics but I do have one to look back on. I have an affiliate relationship with Malaprop’s Bookstore/Cafe in beautiful Asheville, NC. I […]
Welcome to my weekly update for July 24, 2022! My birthday was last Monday and my husband’s birthday is this Monday so he took the week off of work. We spent the time in Rapid City, South Dakota. There is a lot to see and do there! We visited Badlands National Park, Wind Cave National […]
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl gave us a pass to choose our own topic this week. I’m from the southern Appalachian mountains, specifically the Blue Ridge mountains, and I love reading books set in my area. We have an abundance of natural-born storytellers so there are plenty to choose from. I’m limiting my choices to one book […]
Welcome to my weekly update for July 17, 2022! We took a break last weekend and just relaxed in Billings so I don’t have any new pictures to share. My birthday is tomorrow (July 18) so we have plans for that and I should have pictures next week. I won’t be around the blogosphere much […]
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share ten summery book covers this week, a topic suggested by Ellie at Curiosity Killed the Bookworm. That seems self-explanatory, so let’s get started! I have an affiliate relationship with Malaprop’s Bookstore/Cafe in beautiful Asheville, NC. I will earn a small commission at no additional cost to you […]
Welcome to my weekly update for July 10, 2022! My husband and I spent last weekend in Helena, the state capital of Montana. We took a boat tour of the “Gates of the Mountains,” a small canyon on the Missouri River that was named by Merriwether Lewis. We didn’t intend to follow so heavily in […]
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share our ten most anticipated books releasing in late 2022. If you’ve been around here long, you know that I mostly read backlist books. Someone has to keep them fresh in readers’ minds, rights? But I did peek through the publication calendar on Publishers Weekly and […]
Welcome to my weekly update for July 3, 2022! Happy Independence Day to my fellow Americans! The current political situation makes this one feel…Bittersweet? Ironic? Fraught? but I hope you still spend time safely celebrating with your loved ones. We’ve had a busy week. I reported in my last update that the southern loop of […]
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share “ten books on my summer 2022 to-read list.” I tend to be a mood reader so this is more a list of possibilities than definite choices. I mostly compiled this post by planning for my reading challenges. I’ve indicated which challenge(s) those books are for. […]
Welcome to my weekly update for June 26, 2022! The employees and volunteers at Yellowstone National Park seem to be in the business of performing miracles. If you stopped by last week or if you’ve paid much attention to the news, you’ll know that Yellowstone was completely closed due to devastating floods. I’m glad no […]
