This time of year, as the weather cools off, days get shorter and a warm fire is often a part of an evening at home, I want to read cozy novels with heartwarming characters, light situations and happy endings. I've been Christmas reading for you, dear readers, and some of these books just published in …

September Reading
Although I have been busy with many projects, my early morning reading time is still my favorite time of day especially when I am enjoying a good book. Cool mornings with a hot cup of coffee and the quiet of the early light is relaxing. Only three of my last eight have been winners, though. …
Book Reviews and a Giveaway!
I've just finished a couple more really good books that I want to share with you. I'm also repeating a couple of reviews that I did prior to the book's publication date, and two that I just have to mention again on a dedicated book review post in case you missed them buried in a …
May Books
It's been a great month for books, some recently published and some older. I've been lucky with my choices, based on some recommendations, and one from NetGalley that I read pre-publication that just published. I've linked to the Amazon page for all so you can read more about them, or find an audio version. Thank …
April Books
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

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 …
Sunday Chat – Turkey Trot, Christmas Reading and Happy Mail
It has been a fun holiday weekend. Thursday was football and food, chatting with friends online and on the phone. Friday brought out the sappy little Christmas movies, leading off with Miracle on 34th Street as I packed up all the autumn and Thanksgiving decor, and brought out the Christmas boxes. I pulled my table …
