Because I have been required to rest a lot after my knee injections for three weeks in a row, I have gotten a lot of reading in. I mentioned last month that I've signed up for the book site NetGalley, where publishers offer e-books pre-release in exchange for honest reviews. I have three more great …

Book Reviews for March
This month, I tried something new. I got two books on cd to listen to while I quilted. The longarm makes a lot of noise, so earbuds or headphones are the only way to actually listen to something while I am using that machine. I've done audiobooks before, but only sporadically. My blogger buddy, Vicki, …
Sunday Chat – Books, Garden, Cooking
I finally got some time to do some sewing this week, finish a book, and take some photos of the garden. The daffodils continue to produce more blooms, such happy faces. I now have three separate areas in bloom, with a fourth one on the way. This one next to the retaining wall is doing …
Books, Birds, Projects and More
Settle in for a long post about a lot going on, things to see and read, and projects where you can participate. Around the feeder we have a lot of pretty birds, and hungry birds! This week there has been a variety of avian friends chowing down on the seed and suet, including some newcomers. …
Book Reviews and Going Down a Rabbit Hole
This month was an eclectic mix of fiction and non-fiction. The second book took me down a rabbit hole for a while with a book leading to a movie, then to music from decades ago. But, let's start with my favorite North Carolina author writing in her style of magical realism. Other Birds by Sarah …

I pulled my table …

Sunday Chat – Garden, Birds, Books & QOV
Last week I showed you my Thanksgiving cactus, and it continued to put out more blooms. Several more golden yellow ones appeared, along with many more pink and red. These flowers are just so interesting in their forms. Here's a look at the underside. I do marvel at the intensity of the colors. Near the …
A Month of Great Books
Lots of other things going on in the past month, with Autumn Jubilee plus more car club events and more, so reading time was a bit more sparse. If it wasn't for the early morning hours, I wouldn't get much reading done. But four books for today's reviews are spectacular, all highly recommended with one …
Books for Autumn Jubilee
Reading fiction, and playing with project books is fun when the weather turns chilly. Cooler days mean wearing cozy sweaters, bowls of hot soup, a crackling fire, and a good book. I like reading fiction books set in the fall season at this time. It is also a good time to look at project books …
Book Reviews – Two Great Ones, Two OK Beach Reads.
For your Labor Day enjoyment, I have a few book reviews from the past few weeks worth of reading. Two books in a row were just OK, not the stellar reads I thought they might be based on other reviews. Then, two books that were so good, they made up for the mediocre ones. One …
