Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share “ten books I wish had an epilogue.” This is a great topic! I’m happy with the endings of each of these books, but part of me would like to see where the characters are several years later. I’m also a little hesitant to wish for Continue Reading…
Welcome to my weekly update for June 12, 2022! Two weeks in a row–I’m on a roll! Last week, our adventures took a historical turn. We visited the Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument, which you might know better as the site of Custer’s Last Stand. I thought the park service did a great job of Continue Reading…
Welcome to my weekly update for June 5, 2022! Well, I thought I was getting back into the swing of blogging a couple of weeks ago but I was obviously wrong. Maybe this will be my week! We visited Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area and were surprised by how beautiful it is! Seeveral wild horses Continue Reading…
Welcome to my weekly update for May 22, 2022! Whew! It’s been a busy six weeks. Since my last update on April 3, we had some repair work done on our RV (we stay in it while my husband is working at different hospitals around the country). We had to move into an Extended Stay Continue Reading…
4 Stars. This is one of the most realistic commencement addresses I’ve ever read or heard. These things are usually full of high flown language about changing the world and chasing your dreams. That’s all very inspirational. But how do you actually get to that point? You work and you work some more. Sometimes you get lucky […]
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share ten authors I haven’t read yet, a topic suggested by Deanna at A Novel Glimpse. I’m slowly weeding out my GoodReads TBR so this topic is fresh in my mind. The problem is narrowing the list down to ten! I have an affiliate relationship with Malaprop’s Continue Reading…
4 Stars. I really enjoyed this book, especially as a woman with a degree in biology and a background in clinical research. Ignotofsky obviously made an effort to include women from many countries and across many races, which is lovely. Considering that the entry for Mae Jemison, the first African-American woman in space […]
Welcome to my monthly wrap-up for March 2022! My posting fell off a lot in March because we had several visitors and we fit in a long weekend out of town. But it was nice to see so many friends and family members! Travels/Exploration: If you’re new here, you should know that my husband is Continue Reading…
Welcome to my weekly update for April 3, 2022! We had a nice visit with my husband’s parents last weekend and then my sister came down to visit this weekend. As I write this on Friday afternoon, she’s working from our RV so we haven’t gone out to explore yet. I have some ideas for Continue Reading…
Welcome to my weekly update for March 27, 2022! I didn’t think I would read much this week since I was getting ready for my in-laws to visit but all that cleaning left me plenty of time to rip through audiobooks. Add in a couple of books that I was almost finished with last week, Continue Reading…
4.5 Stars. Oh my goodness. Why do we pay less attention to Anne Brontë than the other sisters? I liked this book infinitely more than Wuthering Heights! I’ll still give Jane Eyre the edge as my favorite book by a Brontë, but it’s a closer thing than I expected. Anne wrote both a captivating story and a searing indictment of “bad boys” and [..
