Finding Time To Read

Everyday I look forward to the evening time after supper, chores, and shower, when I finally sit down for the evening with a cup of coffee and a book. I literally look forward to this everyday. It is one of those things I work all day for. It is one of my greatest pleasures, my

DNF’ing A Book

So what constitutes me DNF’ing a book? What should constitute anyone DNF’ing a book? A reading rut, and sometimes it’s just not the right time for me to read a that book if I can’t get into it, or I can’t devote time to it. Let me expand on that. I find myself in a

What I Read In November

Well, I am just getting around to this and December is almost over. Yikes! But I’m getting to it none the less, but with only having read two books in November. These two books though, were absolutely fab! Both were non-fiction, and both a little about fashion and business, but a lot juicy details about

Books I Read When I Was a Teenager That I Loved and Would Read Again

When I was a teenager, reading a good book was a part of my everyday life. I loved reading. But the books I loved to read were wide and various, genre wise. They kind of portrayed my personality and the things I was interested in, rather than just a gripping novel. But gripping novels I

What I Love About Reading

Every evening, no matter what, I read. Usually a book or magazine, or both. I love to read before I go to sleep because it relaxes me and makes me fall asleep. Reading is a way to escape to another world, or learning how to make your world better, or simply for information. My absolute

Book Club: The Irresistible Blueberry Bakeshop & Cafe by Mary Simses

Over the weekend I finished a great book that was both romantic and charming. It was one of those comforting reads that allows you slip into their world for a little while. From the very first page, I was hooked. The beginning of the story finds Ellen almost drowning in the ocean before being rescued

Reading Before Bed Can Be A Relaxing Way to Unwind Every Night

Do you read before bed? Whether actually in the bed, or just before bed? My most favorite thing is reading before bed, actually in the bed. In fact, all day every day, I look forward to this little quiet time before I go to sleep for the night. With my air pods and a Mindfulness

All the Books I Read in January 2023

This year I want to read more books. I read a lot of books, but many times I start and stop them because I get bored or just not into it. So my goal this year is to read about 30 books. So far, I am off to a pretty good start. January was a

Book Review No.2: Family Affair by Debbie Macomber

The other day when I was at the library, I found a quick read, that looked like one of those comfort reads. You know, one of those books that just warms the heart. Kind of like a Hallmark movie makes you feel, all warm and fuzzy inside. I love a good, clean, and charming novel,

Books and Magazines are Our Favorite Things…beside for Fashion

When I was a kid up until now, I have always loved books and magazines. Magazines were always my favorite, even over books, and I read a ton of them; usually cover to cover. The Diary of Anne Frank was a book I particuarly remember reading and loving, mainly because it was a diary and
