  • My latest run…

    I think I really overdid it this time on my latest run to the book store. This past weekend my hubby went to some kind of baseball convention that was 2 hours away from where we live. While dropping him off at that event, I went to the book store that was just up the…

  • “This House is Haunted” by John Boyne

    I just finished reading this book and let me just say….this book did not disappoint. There was enough to keep me engaged throughout but there was enough to be descriptive and informative. I was really surprised by the end but I won’t ruin it for you for those of you that intend to read it.…

  • Have your reading tastes changed…?

    Your tastes in reading….have they changed over time? If they have, how have they changed? When I was younger, I read more children’s literature but I grew out of that the older I got.

  • This came in today!

    This showed up today. I ordered this at the same time I ordered the other 3 books that came in the other day but I don’t know why this one showed up later by itself. The only thing I can figure is it came from a different place than the other 3 books…? Anyway, I…
