Book It!
I have to seriously thank the new “LeVar Burton Reads” podcast for getting any reading done this month. It’s basically the adult “Reading Rainbow,” and I didn’t realize how much I needed it in my life until it appeared. Thanks to the podcast, I was able to rack up several completed “books” which were really…
Read MoreBookish Questions – One Book
If you could only have a physical copy of one book, what book would that be? As we’ve discussed previously, I have a love for physical copies of books, even having multiple copies of them. That means that choosing only one book to have a physical copy of would be very hard for me. But…

I’m back at work now, so even my available time for listening to audiobooks has dropped. But, I am still trying to make time to do a little bit of reading. I was able to finish 2 audiobooks this month, and made some progress on a couple of real books. Speakers of the Dead Speakers…
Read MoreBookish Questions – Paperback or Hardback?
Paperback or Hardback? As I mentioned in my last Bookish Questions post about Special Editions, I love hardback books. Especially hardback books that are pretty. If I plan to keep a book to read multiple times, I would much rather have a hardback edition of the novel, but if it’s something I’m not likely to…

How do you feel about special editions of books? Special editions of novels are the bane of my existence – or, at least my pocketbook. I mean, I love them, and I have the means to buy them, which is how I end up with so many different versions of the same novel. Fortunately there…

Having Mildred has really cut into my reading time in the last couple of months, so I made it a point to go to the local library and renew my membership early this month. One of the great things about my library is that they participate in Overdrive so, along with being able to check…
Read MoreBook It! – Birthday Books
My birthday is in April, so it’s usually a great month for books. After all, what better excuse for a reader to pick up some new and beautiful books than her birthday? I actually wasn’t given any books for my birthday this year- probably due to my lack of shelf space right now. But I…
Read MoreBookish Questions – What do you do with books you no longer want?
What do you do with books you no longer want? When we set up Mildred’s room, I had to get rid of my big beautiful bookshelf. There simply wasn’t room for the bookshelf and all of her new things. So, I pulled all of the books from the bookshelves and stored them in boxes. But,…

This month’s Book It! post is a little late in arriving. I normally post these on the last Monday of the month, but with Mildred home now, I’ve been spending most of my spare time sleeping. And I completely forgot about getting this post up for you. However, late is better than never. And since…
