Happy Friday! Today's recommendation is a book I was afraid to read. Terrified, really. As You Wish, Inconceivable Tales From the Making of The Princess Bride by Cary Elwes was billed as a behind-the-scenes look at the making of one of most favorite books and films of all time. I love (love) The Princess Bride. What if... Continue Reading →
A couple of years ago I was having coffee at a friend's house when a bunch of boxes arrived. I was surprised to find that she had ordered 5 different winter boots to try on and then ship back the ones she didn't like. Frankly, I was a little appalled. I asked her, "Why would... Continue Reading →

Throwback Thursday was started by Renee at ItsBookTalk.com to showcase books that were published over a year ago and have been languishing on your to be read shelf. I actually found her throwback because she did a lovely feature of Sophie Kinsella's Twenties Girl for today's post. We all know I am obsessed with Kinsella! MY PICK: Angelmaker... Continue Reading →
