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 [...]

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 [...]

Better late than never.

I have returned! After spending 2.5 weeks in Europe, I am back in the US. I am already missing the daily run around to new cities, but not the hassle of flights. Hoping to post soon about my adventures! In the meantime, you know what day it is: Murder Monday. On my first day back [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

We may never know…

We meet again. Another week has come and gone quite quickly, but there's always time for a little escape here and there. That brings us to today: Murder Monday. I have been listening to a bunch of audio books of late to try to get my reading challenge completed and then some for the year, [...]
