Can’t Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Wishful Endings to spotlight and talk about the books we’re excited about that we have yet to read. Generally they’re books that have yet to be released. This week I can’t wait for Why I’m Waiting I love historical fiction based on famous people. Marie Benedict […]
I grew up reading Harry Potter. Despite J.K. Rowling’s beliefs, this is one reader who isn’t going to let a difference of opinion ruin my love for the series. Therefore, when I saw Audible was offering this short story for free, I jumped on the train faster than Harry boarded The Hogwarts Express. Part of […]
Weekly Wrap-up is where I share happenings on the blog, books I have read or acquired recently. I link to Caffeinated Book Reviewer, The Book Date Reading Reality and, Tynga’s Reviews Off The Blog It has been a long time since I did a weekly update. In fact, it was way back in February. What […]
My thoughts Girl, Woman, Other is a beautiful, intertwining collection of short stories. At first, I had difficulty getting used to the lack of punctuation and, it wasn’t something I ever completely got used to. However, I didn’t feel like it hindered the story either.

When the 24 hour news-cycle becomes too much I’ve been turning to books, Thus I’m happy to have a 24 hour distraction with Dewey’s 24 Hour Readathon Reading List: Blood Territory by Mark Whittaker The Tales of Beedle the Bard by J.K. […]
Goodreads Updates Susan Orlean’s voice droned though out the book, and I almost felt as if she was bored and just going through the motions. I did speed up the pace on my audiobook which did help, but I still felt like I was being read a book by my high school English teacher. Yes, […]
It is the start of my second full week of quarantine and I am settling down with two readathons, Spring into Horror is a month-long readathon hosted by Michelle at Seasons of Reading and a special “home edition” for Bout of Books which runs all week (April 6-12) I will be posting my updates for […]
First Sentence It was only a duck pond, out at the back of the farm. It wasn’t very big. Lettie Hempstock said it was an ocean, but I knew that was silly. She said they’d come here across the ocean from the old country. What I Liked Neil Gaiman narrated The Ocean at the End […]
