Summer is in full swing now with baseball games and beer gardens overflowing with people on summer vacations! As someone who still works throughout the summer, I find my getaways through podcasts and books. I am always open to suggestions and have taken notes and bookmarked several lists, including: celebrity reading groups/book clubs, the New [...]

Mindful Monday.
Well, well, well... April has finally come and is halfway over! I cannot believe how quickly this year is going this far! It has also been a while since I have made time to write anything down. It has been quite a busy time with work, both jobs that is, and planning my upcoming little [...]
Mysteriouser and mysteriouser…
Good evening and happy Monday to you! Perhaps you had a most splendid start to your week or a rocky one, we've done it. Made it through yet another manic Monday. So, what else is there to do left for today, but cap it off with a little bit of mystery? Do you ever get [...]
Let’s start at the beginning.
I've had an influx of audiobooks being available lately and am winding down to my last one this month. So far this year I've listened to 15 audiobooks and read two books - off to a much higher better start this year over last year already!

Some secrets are best left unknown.

Tonight, let there be murder.
Ah, good evening. Please, make yourself at home. Would you like to join me for a nice hot cuppa? Isn't that better? Now, the reason you're here: murder. Might I introduce you to Inspector Gamache? I had no idea that he has been around for so long, but, boy, am I glad that I met [...]
Murder Monday?
Time to get back on track with things! What better way than with a potential murder mystery?! I have really taken to listening to books recently as I spend a lot of time driving to and from work as well as computer work at work; sometimes giving me a good chunk of time to listen [...]
So many books, so little time…
Well well well, it has been quite a while since I've last posted and a new year has begun in the meantime. Last weekend, I had the luxury of a long weekend at work for the holiday and I decided to use it to take a little trip for me. I used to live in [...]
Wrap it up.
Ah, the end of the year is upon us! Just wanted to share a quick wrap up of my 2017 year in books. Every year for the past few years, I have set a goal of how many books I will read each year and have been trying harder to complete it. I do have [...]
