TToT – Summertime
There’s something special about summertime… The daylight lasts longer… Time seems to move a bit slower… Even the busy days feel a bit less structured and demanding. There is time to breathe, to inhale deeply, and to live deliberately… We are one week into our official summer break and have filled it with wonderful moments…

Library Day – How to Get Your Kid’s Nose Stuck Inside a Book

So far you’ve seen some book reviews, author interviews, my personal musings, and more. This week I’m bringing you a guest post from a blogger friend many of you already know, Val Newman of My Virtual Vineyard. …

The Importance of Talking about Reading
OK, so it’s Tuesday. Lately, I’ve been running something book-related for you on Tuesdays. It’s kind of like library day. Maybe we have a guest post from an author, maybe a Q&A session, maybe a book review… But today I’m afraid I have nothing new to report. I’m still reading several books (yes, I do that)…

Away Message
The Tuesday after a long weekend should feel awesome. But it never does, does it? It feels kind of like a super-Monday. Short weeks are tougher than regular five-day weeks, I think. And this week I have my hands full. For today, I’m giving you a bit of an “away message” because I know I’ll…

Book Review – Mandi Castle’s Dear Stephanie
I’m expanding my horizons. I honestly don’t read much contemporary fiction. But maybe I have to stop saying that. Given the opportunity to read an advance copy of Mandi Castle’s Dear Stephanie, I jumped at it. I read Dear Stephanie in two sittings – and that was only because I had to sleep. I can’t pull an all-nighter…

Book Review – Audrey Snyder’s Worth the Climb
I just read the most delightful book. I say delightful because every page of Audrey Snyder’s Worth the Climb, read as if Audrey were telling me her story personally. It felt as if Audrey and I were talking over a cup of coffee and a slice of cake. And like a good slice of cake, the story was…
