Today is election day. The nail-biting worry that has been felt will come to an end. Although there is one very important component and that is you. Your voice. What makes America great is the ability to have a voice at the voting box. A simple check speaks volumes and can affect the next four […]
One of the things that tempted me most to move to self-hosted WordPress was Ashley’s Ultimate Book Blogger Plugin. I loved the way the Ultimate Book Blogger Plugin looked on other sites and had heard nothing but glowing reviews on it. Therefore, when I finally made the switch to WordPress I knew it was a plugin […]
I’m a big fan of watching movies that have been adapted from books, and occasionally the movie is actually better. To embrase this interest of mine I’ve started a weekly post to feature books that are hitting the big screen. Release Date: May 13 Set in the 1790s, Love and Friendship centers on beautiful widow […]
As I have said in the past, my family almost never spends Christmas at home opting for warmer weather in places like Florida or Mexico. In 2014 we spent the season in Merida Mexico. Boasting close to one million people, it is the largest city in the Yucatan and considering I had only been to […]

Winkie pranced in with no problem, […]

Reading Slump. The two most dreaded words a bookworm could utter. Unfortunately, I must express that — sort of. I’m reading a really good book right now, Stephen King’s newest Mr. Mercedes, but as it always tends to do, life has gotten in the way and prohibited me from reading the full amount I would […]
Last week I read a blog post written by Kimba The Caffinated Reader on review burn out and mixing it up. While I have not gone through review burn out I think it would be grand to try something new. The post made me reexamine all the book reviews I have prepped and personalize/tailor them […]
