Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. Here are the top then things that will make me instantly not want to read a book (in no particular order): A BAD COVER - This includes boring covers, covers that depict half naked men, most with any type of floral arrangement, too-perfect pool or beach scenes, and mythological creatures. Finally, if the cover looks like ...

Throwback Thursday: The Crimson Petal and the White
Throwback Thursday is a weekly meme hosted by Renee at It’s Book Talk. Throwback Thursday is an awesome opportunity to share old favorites as well as older books in our TBR. I love this idea as I only started blogging about a year and a half ago. Therefore, I have lots of old favorites to talk about. While I may not remember all of the details needed to write a complete review, I’m happy to share ...
Top Ten Tuesday – 2016 Releases I Meant to Read (but didn’t. but will.)
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish Whittling this list down to just ten was difficult. There were a lot of great books published in 2016. I had hoped to read more but, well, life... Here are ten books I didn't get to but totally plan to. The first three are books I requested on NetGalley but the publishers declined my request. That rarely happens these days and I ...
Top Ten Tuesday: Top Ten Books Read in 2016
I Can Explain. It's true. Today is Thursday (but I did start this post on Wednesday)... I could blame it on Wordpress; something about a glitch in their post scheduling system. But that would be fiction. Here's the truth: I'd gone to the dogs. Literally. I left Connecticut at 10:40pm Monday evening to meet a transport containing a litter of puppies coming up from Alabama. They had been living ...

(I'm also celebrating the fact that I think I have figured out how to use Rafflecopter. You all know how technical I am...)

2017 Mount TBR Challenge
Like many book bloggers, I have a love-hate relationship with my TBR pile. When I hear about a book I want to read, I get all excited and immediately add at it to the TBR. It doesn't really matter if it's an ARC or a back-listed title. It could be a debut or the latest release of a beloved author. It could be a novella or contain over 1000 pages. If I even think I might want to read it, into the ...
Weekly Wrap-up 11/20/2016
This has been a fairly non-productive week. I had plans two evenings this week and my daughters first sleepover birthday party last night. Needless to say, these events severely limited the amount of time I was able to devote to reading and blogging. Book Club One of those evenings out, however, was for my book club. I suppose I can count that toward "bookish" time. We read My Father Before ...
Top Ten Tuesday: My Favorite Movies
Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. This is my first week participating in the TTT meme and I must admit, I'm a little out of my comfort zone. I enjoy going to the movies but I'm not what you'd call a movie buff. I've never seen most of the classics on all "Best Movies of All Time" lists. While most of the movies are on my top ten list are ...
