Over the past month, I have been reading stories set during the holidays. A light read with a Christmas theme is fun this time of year. Many of these are shorter novellas with feel-good endings, and isn't that the perfect thing for the holiday season? This month, all of the books are recommended, not a …

November Book Chat
So many good books, so little time, LOL!! I like the quiet of the early morning for reading, and a rainy morning makes me linger a bit longer in my cozy chair. I am still working my way through a very long list of recommended reads from friends and book blogs, so more of my …
Great Books for Autumn Jubilee
When the weather cools off, and it gets cozy by a fireplace with crackling logs and a mug of hot chocolate (maybe with some Godiva liqueur!), a novel set in the fall is just perfect. I tried to find a few for you, good reading with an Autumn theme or an engrossing story for cold …
September Books
I only have five books to share this month, as four are epic length. The great thing is most of them were very good with one being an outstanding highly recommended read. Links are provided if you'd like to read the story synopsis on Amazon. The Silent Sister by Diane Chamberlain - I was originally …
August Books
Once again, it has been a month of good and not-so-much books. These days I am trying to concentrate on ones I've been looking for that had good reviews, along with some recently published to keep up with the times. But sometimes a book with good reviews and lots of stars isn't for me, and …
July Books and Reading
Another eclectic month of reading fiction and non-fiction. I am working my way through a long reading list that I've had for several years. Up first, a very difficult to find book by one of my favorite authors, Liz Trenow. I loved it, and should have just ordered one on Amazon years ago instead of …

Links are provided to Amazon if you'd like to read a synopsis of the story. Thank you for using my affiliate links when you can, as …
Fiction and Quilting Book Reviews
This month was a mixed bag of really, really good, and really disappointing. I found two books that I enjoyed more than anything I have read in quite some time, both with a psychological aspect that made the stories fascinating and difficult to put down. So, let me begin with the not so great and …
Books, Books and More Books
It's been another month of eclectic reading, some more culling, and new finds in the quilting/sewing genre. Another load of books went to the library bookstore, and I made my decision on the cookbook series. The Cooking Light series was donated, mainly due to its lack of photography, even though the recipes are lighter and …
February Book Chat
Reading this month has been a very eclectic group of books. I do like to read from varying genres just to keep my interest with variety. This month spans historical fiction to biographical non-fiction, to friendship and philosophy. Thank goodness for sales and Amazon gift cards, and our local library which was able to send …
