Today was beautiful. The grip of winter is a solid one. It’s hard, despite the sun, to realize sitting outside is something that’s actually feasible once again. Since Friday I have finished one book, continued along with another, and started a third. Other than missing a few...
Are most of you holed up with books and a blanket? I certainly hope so! This is the perfect time to start those giant books you otherwise push to the back of your TBR list. It’s easy to let other things take over your mind right...
Here we are despite the mayhem that is everywhere. I’m not adding to it, I’m just here to talk books. I hope all of you bookworms are doing well. If you are quarantined at home I’m a bit jealous only because I’m not. If I was...

What’s your opinion of a house made of glass? I find them fascinating. The idea of being completely exposed is an interesting, if not, original one. In today’s world with just about everyone over-exposing every last detail of life on social media, what would be the...
I started writing this post stating the definition of mortal. But it was so absurd that I scratched what I had written and started over. Other than saying what mortal means, the end of the definition said, “not immortal,” well, no sh*t. On that fine...
