Winter Reading
It has been an up and down winter for reading. If you visit my blog on the internet, you'll see my Goodreads reviews on the sidebar. Some have been good, but there were several just 'meh', and there was one true wall banger. A wall-banger is where you are so bored/disgusted/irritated with a book that …

Bread Alone by Judith Hendricks – A Book Review
Is there anything more cozy than the aroma of baking bread? No matter if it is wheat, sourdough, white or whatever your favorite, that wonderful scent of rising yeast and browning crust makes my mouth water. I really love sneaking the end piece as soon as the bread can be sliced, crusty and crackling. Just …
