  • Reading habits….

    We all probably have some kind of reading habits. What are your reading habits? I’m always sitting down to read before I go to bed. I’ll spend a few minutes, at least, reading in bed before I turn the lights out and go to sleep. Even if I don’t get to read at any point…

  • Morbius

    My husband and I watched this movie over this past weekend. I thought the story line was good, it kept a good pace and it was just the right length (not too short and not too long). I see that this movie isn’t getting a lot of good reviews but I enjoyed it. I’ve learned…

  • “Through the Woods” by Emily Carroll

    Well, I devoured another book. This book is a series of short stories that reads like a comic book or a graphic novel. Each story tells a different horrific tale to scare you even if you read with the lights on. The artwork enhances the story as well (in my opinion). I find some of…

  • “Nothing But Blackened Teeth” by Cassandra Khaw

    I picked this book out at my local book store because I just love haunted house stories. It’s kind of rainy and dreary outside so it’s the perfect day to read something like this. This is kind of short read but at the same time it gets right to the point with no drawn stories…

  • “Before the Coffee Gets Cold” by Toshikazu Kawaguchi

    I finished reading this last night and let me just say that this book is a little different than what I normally read. This book is divided into four sections and let me tell you………each section felt like an episode of Rod Sterling’s “Twilight Zone”, however, each section had a heart warming tale to tell.…

    Finally! We have the cover art for the next illustrated book in the Harry Potter series……the Order of the Phoenix. It feels like forever since Goblet of Fire was released. This one will be released in October 11, 2022. Who else is as excited for this as I am?

  • Purchased today!

    I had to get out and run some errands today on my day off. While I was out, I visited my local bookstore today and purchased some new material. Two of the books are ones I went in there specifically to get…the others were just an added bonus that I found while looking. I even…

  • “The Body in the Library” by Agatha Christie

    I finished reading this last night and I enjoyed it. I thought I knew who the murderer was but I couldn’t quite figure out how this person could have pulled it off. Well, it turns out I was right about who it was but they explain how this particular person did it. They tried throwing…

  • Book accessories….

    Are there any book accessories that you use while reading? If so, what are they? How often do you use them? I do have some bookmarks I like to use. One is a Hogwarts book marks and then I have bookmarks for each of the four houses at Hogwarts. Those are the bookmarks I like…
