Booklr Questions – Who are your favorite book characters?
Who are your favorite book characters? It’s so easy for me to fall in love with characters in books, but rarely because they are sweet. I find myself falling in love with the brave, the decisive, and the eccentric. A few of my favorites are: Lettie Hempstock in Ocean at the End of the Lane…
Read More#OurProject52 – Celebrate
This has been a good week to get photos of celebration – it’s our local county fair. However, my side of the celebration at the fair always looks a little different, as my husband and I are volunteers out there and help to put it on (more him than me, but I help where I…

What is your favorite quote? For me, picking just one favorite quote is near impossible. I assume it’s the same for most bibliophiles. So, here are a few that stand out for me at the moment. When I’m 80 years old and sitting in my rocking chair, I’ll be reading Harry Potter. And my family…

What is the worst book you’ve ever read? I try not to hate books, though I can often tell you things I don’t love about them. My biggest beef is with (usually self-publsihed) books that obviously haven’t been edited. I read a book a few months ago that took place in winter, and while the…
Read MoreBook It – Food & Function
I’m only 6 months into this challenge to read more books this year, and I’m sure I’ve already exceeded the number of books I read last year. Once I started reading again, I found that I can’t put down whatever I’m reading. In case you’d like to follow along, or making this into a challenge…
