Reading Update Part 1 | January & February 2024
Phew! I've worked and reworked this post several times, trying to make it manageable for both you and me. It started out as a truly massive update covering January through April of this year, but I really wanted to give several books their due so I've decided to break this up into two parts. Today...

Morning Journaling | Week 6 of 2024
Hello, friends! It's been over two weeks since I've published a post. Mornings have been hard for the last several months for so many reasons and my blogging has fallen to the wayside.

The Great War | Bookish Serendipity
Happy Friday, friends! I am stealing a couple of minutes this morning to spend some time with my blog.

Goodbye 2023; Hello 2024!

Bookish Chatter | A Start on October!
I haven't yet gushed about the arrival of October. I am thrilled that it's here and hoping for more seasonal temperatures in the next few weeks. This last week has been much warmer than typical October weather (in the 80s) and I'm ready to say goodbye to summer. But we can definitely see the leaves... Continue Reading →
September 2023 Reading Review
Happy Monday, friends! I hope your weekend went well. We had a quiet weekend; we stayed close to home, ate from the crockpot, and enjoyed a couple of evenings around the fire pit. The temperature is getting quite cool in the morning and evening but the sun is strong and is keeping the house warm... Continue Reading →

It's only Thursday and it's been such a full week; I'm grateful to have found any quiet time at my desk to get this post... Continue Reading →
