Bookish Questions – Would you rather read any ending that makes you feel happy or sad?
Just a little house cleaning for the 1st book post of the year. I’m changing the title from Booklr Questions to Bookish Questions, because booklr is very specific to Tumblr, and I want to be more inclusive with these posts. Also, if you have a bookish question for me, be sure to ask. Now for…
Read MoreBook It – Year’s End
The year has come to a close, so here’s a run down of how I did in meeting the 2015 Reading List from PopSugar. There were a total of 50 different categories to read a book in, so I decided right off the bat that I would need to mark each category a book fell…
Read MoreWIP Wednesday
It’s the last WIP Wednesday post of the year. I’ve made a lot of progress on things this year, but I’ve still got more projects going than I would like. Maybe that’s something I could work on in the new year. This week has been all about hanging sleeves. I’m midway through putting hanging sleeves…

Which book is so special to you that you don’t share it with others? Can we just take a moment to enjoy how ridiculous this question is? If I have a book that’s so special that I won’t share it with you, why would I tell you about it? Actually, I’m sure this question is…
Read MoreDecking the Halls
Call me Scrooge, but I kind of hate decorating for the holidays. So many boxes to drag up the stairs, so much stuff to put out, and then a month later, I just have to pack it back up. Don’t get me wrong, homes that are decorated for Christmas are lovely. It’s just so much…
Read MoreBooklr Questions – Do you read Poetry?
Do you read Poetry? I don’t go out of my way to purchase or read poetry, but I do enjoy it on occasion. IAs a child it was Shel Silverstein who gave me a connection to poetry. And the opening poem in Where the Sidewalk Ends still connects with me today. The Invitation If you…
