Book It! – Hazy Shade of Winter

It’s February, and the weather around here has been nothing by cold and heartless. It was in the 50s during the 1st week of February.  But that warmer weather was a tease.  We got more cold weather and snow again. Then it got warm again. We had a 70 degree day and then got snow…

September has been a busy month, with a family reunion, and a wedding, but I seem to have gotten back into my reading groove. The 10 hours I spent in the car to and from the wedding might have had something to do with it.  And I’m also happy to have caught up with the…

Book It – Short Fictions and Disturbances

August has been a light month of reading for me.  I lost two whole weeks of reading to moving into our new home. And since then, there have still been boxes to unpack and decorating to do, so I’ve had less time to read. That’s thanks in part to using a reading challenge that’s expanded…
