17 Sep A Tale Of Two Covers
I have a dear friend who I trade books with. He occasionally just brings me books and I do the same for him. Our homes are right next to each other, with just a field between us. We spend a lot of time of time...

14 Sep Weekly Goal: Low-Key Decadence
Good morning. The hours of Friday have spilled nicely in to Saturday. Because The Goldfinch was released in theaters yesterday, I traded my normal Friday post of books, dessert, and wine to talk about that. But in my thinking, it just wouldn’t be the same without...
13 Sep The Goldfinch & Other Tartt Art
Today is two fun things. 1. It’s Friday! 2. The Goldfinch movie, based upon Donna Tartt’s 2014 Pulitzer Prize winning book by the same name, is released in theaters. Most of you, I’m sure are familiar with Donna Tartt, or at least with her books. Her three fiction...

09 Sep Don’t Sweat It, The Dirt Will Still Be There Tomorrow

06 Sep Ignore The To-Do List, Put Your Feet Up, & Enjoy Your Friday

05 Sep Something Old, Something New
Oh man. Something Old, Something New is on its third installment. I wasn’t planning on it becoming a regular thing when I wrote the first SOSN post, but here we are. In a nutshell, this post is about two books. One I have read (something...
04 Sep Body Like A (Mysterious) Back Road
• Thank you #RandomHouse #partner for this copy of Diagnosis by Lisa Sanders • I really want to start this book. And I would start this book, if I wasn’t already reading five books. Pure ridiculousness is what reading five books at one time is. I’ve...
02 Sep Stars, Stripes, & A Life Undone
Last fall I was browsing the new release section at the library when I came across Red White Blue by Lea Carpenter. The simple cover, deckled page edges, and small size immediately grabbed my attention. I had never heard of Carpenter, but since I am...
02 Sep August Reads & Ratings List
Hey there, bookworms. It’s not hard for me to believe that it is September, but it is hard to think there are only four months left of 2019. Once October arrives, time goes so quick that Valentines’ 2020 crap will soon be on display at Walmart....
