Most Anticipated Books for April, 2017

It’s that time again, and it seems as if March releases were just posted, doesn’t it?  There are a few on here there I plan to add to my shelf, and two are books I can recommend (noted with a ♥).  It seems as if there are a lot of short stories and historical fiction releasing this month, many of which aren’t posted here.  If you know of any that should be added or that you’re interested…

What a busy and lonesome time it is when I don’t have time to read a book for a week.  I didn’t get to read at all week before last and didn’t get to publish one blog post last week nor read any posts from fellow bloggers.  BUT, all papers are graded and entered!    It will be very busy the next few weeks as we are nearing testing time and end of year paperwork so if I don’t get to post as much…

Date Night In/Spring Cleaning

Date Night In/Spring Cleaning

It’s official.  Spring is here.  The weather might not be cooperating, but spring arrived a few days ago and with that comes spring cleaning.  The dust, the sweat, the organization that comes with spring cleaning doesn’t mean it has to be hard and uncomfortable. pin I swear by Norwex® microfiber cloths.  They get the job done without spending the bank on a lot of different cleaners.  It pays to…

Quick and Easy Reeses Cheesecake [Microwave]

If you were here last week, you’ll remember I was raving over the richness of a cheesecake layered with Reeses cups I ate.  Okay,  so I was only able to eat three pieces because it was so rich, but I was able to finish the slice…a single slice, over a period of days.  ha!  I mentioned then that I wanted to post a recipe for it.  Well, I couldn’t find a recipe that fit the picture in my mind and…

10 Books You can Finish in a Day

This week, I’m featuring ten books that can be listened to in a day for Top Ten Tuesday.  A couple of years ago, I posted these quick lit books that can easily be read in a day, so I’m adding a more current list of books in audio.  So, if you have a few hours, enjoy a good book.  Don’t forget to read the intro to the book I’m reading below, because this book has gripped me tightly, already and…

I Finished the Big Library Read

I have the Monday blues as I return to work today after a cold and wintry spring break.  That’s really an oxymoron break, isn’t it?  Snow, freezing rain …bring on the spring weather.  I’m ready for it, and today is the first day of spring.  I actually got more reading done than I thought over the break having finished four books.  My original plans for break fell through, so I read.  I loved…

Until Wednesday...

Until Wednesday…

When was the last time you remember someone tipping his hat in greeting?  I’ve seen it from older gentlemen in passing, but it seems to be a past-time courtesy that didn’t pass to a younger generation.  Or, so I thought until Wednesday… I had a routine doctor visit on Wednesday and as I sat in the waiting area, a young teenager came into the office with someone I assume to be his mother.  He was…

Books and Chill 03.16.17

Since I’ve already posted my thoughts on most of what I’ve read and will be doing so as part of Show Me Your Books from now on (it’s just easier), other than review copies that will have a formal review, Books and Chill will still focus on what to read by trending titles and editors’ picks but will not include my quick thoughts.  I’m not really surprised at the trending books by bloggers and…
