Library Day – Behind Closed Doors
Whether in life or literature, when something appears too good to be true, it usually is. We can never really know the truth about someone’s life until we live it. People’s lives appear precisely the way they intend no matter what truth exists privately. And while it is certainly easy to judge a book by…

#10Thankful – Another Year Older
So my blog and I both had birthdays this week. My blog is four years old. Imagine that. And me? Well, I’m four and then some. Birthdays have a way of prompting retrospection, don’t they. At least for me. I often find myself reflective around birthdays – take time to consider where I’ve been, where…

#10Thankful – Rainy Weekend Days
There is nothing quite like a good rainy day. OK, it’s not actually raining right now, but it’s cool and cloudy and the threat is present. And I , for one, am pretty glad for it. First of all, I love the rain (provided I’m not actually out in it getting wet, of course). Second,…

Finding Time for Words
Lately, I find that words fail me. The desire to write exists, but when I sit down and attempt to get to it…nothing happens. Blog posts, my personal works-in-progress, letters, e-mails, even something as simple as the weekly to-do list or an errand reminder – all seem too hard. And it’s so easy to blame…

TToT – Fall is Here, Baby!
And that could be my entire post…truly. I am beyond happy that the weather is starting to cool and the fall season is officially – and visibly – upon us. I think my soul’s natural season is autumn or something…I am never more at peace than during autumn.

The Closing
The tears in his eyes surprised him. “Oh, what the actual–there is no time for this emotional crap,” he warned himself. It was time to go and he was more than ready…ready to be finished with all of this, to leave the books and the shelves and the memories behind, to turn the page on…

TToT – The Stuff of Distraction
Sometimes I get distracted. Last weekend, I intended to post a second TToT because I had all the things to be thankful for. Then I forgot where I wrote them. I found a draft in my drafts folder. It may or may not be the intended second TToT. Either way, I’m going to snag the couple…

Book Review – Singularity by Helena Hann-Basquiat with Sara Litchfield, Sandy Ramsey, Lizzi Rogers, Hannah Sears
The subject matter of Singularity is not my usual cup of tea. It’s nothing at all like tea. It’s more like you want a nice cup of tea, but the only thing available to drink is vodka. So you drink the vodka, expecting to feel fire as it washes over your palate and burns its way…

Book Review – P.O.W.E.R. by Lisa A. Kramer
What if you loved words? What if you loved words and were told you could not use them? No reading. No writing. No words. If you were told you had to give up words completely, would you stop? Could you? Andra BetScrivener has a secret power. But her life – and the lives of those she…

Library Day – Checking Out the Library
I’ve been a bit MIA lately. My primary reason for being absent from this space is, simply, that we’ve been out living. My friend Ivy says that’s a damn good reason and I have to agree with her. One of our regular jaunts is to the local public library. We’ve been selecting books, of course, but also…
