Library Lament

Well that’s all folks!  My library officially closed today, only to be reopened on October 26 at their new “unwalkable” location.  Until this moment I thought there might have been a chance that they would change their mind, but that was only wishful thinking.  The old library building is sold and will be used for […]

Kindle Is At My Library!

My library supports Overdrive allowing ereaders to checkout books and this week they just added Kindle!  I was super excited to hear this as I have mention my library is moving and this option will help fill the void.  The site actually reminds me a lot of Netflix as you can hold/save/checkout “books”.  What’s the […]

I’m Back

I’m Back

I had quite a hiatus there.  Life got ultra busy and time just got away from me. I had also gotten a little burned out from blogging and needed a chance to revamp my engine so to speak. But I’m back with a few reviews to post.  Now that is summer approaching I’ll have plenty […]

Lizzie Bennet, who attends Longbourn Academy on scholarship, isn’t exactly interested in designer dresses and expensive shoes, but her best friend, Jane, might be—especially now that […]

Hiatus Again

Hiatus Again

I’m going on another hiatus back up to the Michigan (although technically we’re on the Wisconsin border just an arms reach from the Michigan state line).  Anyway, I’ve been going up to that area since I was little and my parents and grandparents (from both sides) before me; thus creating fond memories of making s’mores, […]

Hiatus

Hiatus

I’m taking a bit of a hiatus while on vacation in Michigan.  Just me, a lake and a stack of books.  About fifteen years ago my family rented a cabin in the woods for two weeks.  At the end of the first week my mom, brother and I drove home as school was starting and […]

Won’t You Be My Neighbor

“Won’t you be mine, won’t you be my neighbor?” Kals from At Pemberley and Vaishnavi at Dust Jacket have been kind enough to be just that and regift this award to me.  This was originally created by Felicia at Geeky Blogger’s Book Blog who wants to show appreciation to those who makes others day with […]
