Too many books and never enough time…

Isn't that how it always goes? With the library being open for curbside pickup, I've been able to start some books on my to-read list and well as get through a mountain of tv shows and movies! The library has definitely helped take me to other worlds and realms during these unusual times. Where did [...]

Reading From Home (RFH)

Ever since this pandemic hit, I have had the ability to work from home. I consider myself extremely lucky to be able to say that as others are not as fortunate. I have been staying with only a few select people seen on the regular/semi-regular and have been using my bits of free time to [...]

What is a weekend?

Ah yes, the weekend is here! For most, the weekend is a time of relaxation and plans and events, but for me there is always some work to be done! However, when I do have the random weekend off, I make sure to fill it with calm and pajamas. As we get ready for Halloween [...]

Mysterious Monday

Here we are again, ready to begin a new adventure! This past Saturday, I held our monthly book club, and yearly annual raku pot painting party, to discuss Stiff: the Curious Lives of Human Cadavers by Mary Roach. I was so pleased to find out that all who had finished or begun the book had [...]

Scintillating Summer Skim

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 [...]

Time to bring the dead back to life.

Finally through all of my audiobooks and having finished a book for last weeks book club, I find myself with a night off of deadlines. I may be trying to catch up on some podcasts, but they're not going anywhere. Here I am at home, relaxing early after last night's Oscars ran late...enter Netflix. Whatever [...]

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! I have previously written about Chief Inspector Gamache, but [...]

Some secrets are best left unknown.

Good evening. Happy Monday! It's been a couple weeks and much has happened that has kept me busy. What is currently keeping me busy? Murder. I've gotten right into the thick of things with a new audiobook. Now to unveil the newest addition to our Murder Monday: It's too bad that there aren't enough hours [...]

Not all waters are calm.

Now, let me preface this with the fact that I've never been on a cruise before. Back many moons ago, when I was studying abroad in New Zealand, I took part in a 24-hr cruise; which was basically just staying overnight on a little boat, but nothing more than one night. We got to meet [...]
