Books, Writing, & The Cozy Life
I'm trying to listen to podcasts again. When I drove to work every day, I had several on rotation. Most were about an hour, so I could listen to the first half on my way to work and then finish on the way home. It was a neat and tidy way to learn about something... Continue Reading →
Hi everyone! Today is a freebie Top 10 Tuesday with Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl. I loved last week's category - Cozy/Wintry Reads - but I've had a hard time getting much reading in lately because of life.

Whew! August has been quite a month around here. I haven't read quite as much as I wish I would have, but that's okay. I've definitely been using the public library, whether or not I've been successful at actually reading anything! Today I'm linking up with Rebecca and her Library Checkout meme! Go check out her...

Never Let Me Go is my second novel by Ishiguro. I was so pleased with my first that I couldn't wait to find another by him. I think I tried to read this one at least five years ago but didn't make it very far. I'm glad that I returned to it because this might be a... Continue Reading →
Getting my hands on this book was almost like real magic. I recently finished reading Faithful, which I got on NetGalley last summer. Less than a week after finishing that Alice Hoffman novel, I got an email from Simon & Schuster asking me to read her upcoming work, which I've been waiting for with baited breath...

Faithful has an eerie beginning that feels like a ghost story. Each year, the town honors a young girl that was critically injured in a car accident. Her name is Helene and she's been in a coma since that day, lying in a hospital bed in her childhood bedroom. Some people believe that she can heal... Continue Reading →
