10 of My Favorite Audiobook Narrators
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share our favorite audiobook narrators this week. I’m almost always listening to an audiobook while I’m cleaning, driving, or even exercising and I’m trying (with some success) to win my husband over. It was hard to limit my list to only ten. I tried to write a bit about why I like […]
Weekly Update for April 9, 2023
Welcome to my weekly update for April 9, 2023! Happy Easter, Happy Passover, or Ramadan Mubarak to those who celebrate! I’ve been an affiliate of Malaprop’s Bookstore in my hometown of Asheville, NC for years now. I link to their website for books I haven’t reviewed yet. I’m keeping that relationship because I love my Continue Reading…
Books I Wish Had an Epilogue
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share “ten books I wish had an epilogue.” This is a great topic! I’m happy with the endings of each of these books, but part of me would like to see where the characters are several years later. I’m also a little hesitant to wish for Continue Reading…
Top Ten Romantic Books
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share a Valentine’s Day/Love Freebie this week. I’m not a big romance reader but I do pick up the genre occasionally. I also don’t object if books in other genres have a strong romance angle. So here are my top ten romantic books. (Links go to Continue Reading…
2020 Reading by the Numbers
I used to write this post on my first turn at blogging and I enjoyed taking a deep dive into my reading trends. I also like sharing favorite books from various genres that might not make it into my “Top Ten Books of the Year” post. This is always long so bear with me as Continue Reading…
Top Ten Fall Book Covers
This week, That Artsy Reader Girl prompts us to share “Book Covers with Fall Colors/Vibes.” I chose books that I’ve either read or that are on my TBR. I also tried to avoid horror covers (I have plenty of those) although I did veer into some Gothic covers. Here’s what I found for my top Continue Reading…

Welcome to my weekly update for August 16, 2020! Two of the biggest natural tourist attractions in Oregon are the Columbia River Gorge Scenic Highway and Multnomah Falls.

Weekly Update for August 9, 2020
Welcome to my weekly update for August 9, 2020! After all our hiking last week, we took it relatively easy this week. My husband and I are usually in one place for three months before moving to a new place with his job. His three months in Portland, Oregon were complete on July 25 but Continue Reading…
The Long-Lost Home by Maryrose Wood: Book Review
I have listened to all of these books on audio and Katherine Kellgren’s whole-hearted narration has kept me coming back. She threw everything she had into howling at the moon, singing songs, and giving voices to both the innocent and the bad guys. I realized that Katherine had passed away before finishing the series as I added…
Six in Six 2020
Jo at The Book Jotter hosts Six in Six 2020, a yearly meme that helps us reflect back on our mid-year reading. The idea is to choose six categories from the list provided and list six books you’ve read that fit in those categories. Since I just started blogging again about a month ago, I Continue Reading…

Our temperatures hovered around 80 degrees until Friday, when they dropped into the fifties. We’ve warmed up a bit over the weekend but the cooler temperatures have finally brought on some spectacular fall color. My Continue Reading…
