Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share our top ten bookish wishes in honor of her birthday today. (Happy birthday, Jana!) Since my husband and I travel constantly with his job, I try not to buy books; I’ve chosen to post my top ten picture books from my childhood instead. I was […]
Welcome to my weekly update for June 20, 2021! Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there, especially my own! We were able to celebrate an early Father’s Day with him last weekend. Considering that I hadn’t been home since February 2020 because of covid and my husband hadn’t been home since September 2019 […]
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share quotes from books on a theme of our choice this week. I glanced through the quotes I’ve saved on GoodReads. I thought about a “Girl Power” theme or “Friendship” but I settled on ten quotes about making a difference in the world. These may or […]
Welcome to my weekly update for May 23, 2021! My husband and I haven’t watched very many sunsets since we’ve been on the Gulf coast of Florida, which is a shame. I do love a good sunset. We’re trying to make up for lost time now that we’ve only got a few weeks left here. […]
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share ten book titles that are complete sentences this week. I was afraid it would take me forever to find books for this post! It did take longer than I would have liked but I obviously found enough. Apparently, if you want me to read your […]
Welcome to my weekly update for May 16, 2021! Well, the CDC announcement that fully-vaccinated people in the US can pretty much go back to life as usual was a bit of a surprise, wasn’t it? My husband and I will probably continue wearing our masks inside for a while but at least we won’t […]
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share ten books with nature on the cover this week. If you asked me to describe what kind of cover I like, I would tell you that I don’t like human figures or cheesy stock photos. I also don’t particularly care for covers that have flowery […]
Welcome to my weekly update for May 9, 2021! Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there! We celebrated early with my in-laws last week. It was nice to spend a long weekend with them. I won’t be seeing my own mom today but we’re planning to see her and the rest of my […]
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share our ten most recent reads this week. I’m writing this on Wednesday so it will be out of date by the time it posts, but here’s my current list! Links for books that I haven’t reviewed yet go to the Malaprop’s bookstore website. Welcome to […]
Welcome to my weekly update for May 2, 2021! As you read this, my husband and I should be spending the weekend with his parents. We’ve all been vaccinated and they’re only a two-hour drive away. It felt safe to us and the CDC says it’s okay too. We’ve had lunch with them a couple […]
Hosted by Books Are My Favourite and Best on the first Saturday of every month, this meme asks us to start with one title and create a chain of bookish connections to see where it takes us. This month, to commemorate Beverly Cleary’s death in March, we’re starting with Beezus and Ramona, the first in the Ramona books. I actually […]
