This morning I wrote a long blog post about how much I loved reading this book. I waxed poetically about my love for Drag Queens, my need for better self confidence in a bathing suit and how all around impressed I was with the main character Willowdean. I posted it. Then I worried about my... Continue Reading →
Audible: Talk to the Hand by Lynne Truss
I do not naturally excel at audible learning. So, for me, a book on tape or audible story needs to be amazing. It has to have all the markings of an incredible story and be read to me in a way that keeps me focused enough to follow along. It is a high bar. My two favorite types... Continue Reading →
The Lady Cop Makes Trouble by Amy Stewart
This delightful second Kopp sisters novel gives us another peek into the historically rooted adventures of Constance, Norma and Fluerette Kopp. In Girl Waits With a Gun, the women took their first steps outside of their country home and into the adventure, and danger, of a changing world. Now, in The Lady Cop Makes Trouble, the women... Continue Reading →
Tsundoku or I swear I’m not a book hoarder
I have been seeing the word Tsundoku bouncing around on the internet a lot lately. Some book people are in love with this "new" word. Apparently the word is used to describe the action of buying reading materials followed by letting them pile up and never reading them. This activity has been talked about for... Continue Reading →
Author Obsession: Jessica Day George
A brief overview of my love for the author Jessica Day George.
Me Before You by Jojo Moyes
You know, when it rains it pours. I have been battling with that ridiculous cold that is going around and it is making it difficult for me to sleep at night. The only upside of insomnia is surplus time to read. Unfortunately, every book I picked up was uninspiring. Finally I took myself, sick and... Continue Reading →
Playing for Pizza by John Grisham
February 9th is National Pizza Day. How great are these National Days for foods? Now I have to have pizza tonight. It's not my fault my healthy eating is going sideways - this is for America! Beyond making plans to stuff my face with the best food ever I also pulled one of my favorite... Continue Reading →
The Lion in Winter by James Goldman
I love books that become movies. There are whole lists of books you can read "before they come to the theatre." And, there are people (I used to be one of them) who would never dream of watching a movie before reading the book. Realistically, there are only a handful of movies that I believe have...

Book Logs
Look at my beautiful book log. Are you impressed? You shouldn't be. This is 1 week of books and then I just forgot to write them down. I didn't even finish writing down Paper and Fire. I do this all of the time. I think I have a dozen journals, a list on my phone and... Continue Reading →
Impyrium by Henry H. Neff
I do not enjoy post-apocalyptic stories mostly because I am woefully underprepared for any sort of apocalyptic event. And, I completely overthink all of the hardships that come with the apocalypse. Do they still have coffee? Where are they finding hygiene products!?! I worry. However, Henry Neff wrote the eminently enjoyable Tapestry series and I loved... Continue Reading →
