Hi y'all! It's the last day of July, and summer shows no signs of leaving anytime soon here in Oklahoma. But that is "normal," so I won't complain. At least, I won't complain as long as the air conditioning keeps working! Today I am sharing July's #SpellTheMonthInBooks post. It's a completely digital version this month,... Continue Reading →
Today's review is a little different from most. Since this book is something of a modern classic, there is already an ongoing conversation about it in critical circles.

Yes, I know we are already over a week into July and I am just now getting this post up. Somehow, June flew by with much less reading achievement than I expected, but more than I realized I was attaining along the way! There was so much going on at the library, plus I participated...

Yarn Along is a monthly link up hosted at Small Things. The point is to share our yarn-type projects (such as knitting, crochet, or similar) as well as the books we are reading. I love watching others’ projects develop, and of course I love hearing about the books people are reading, too! You can see everyone’s... Continue Reading →
Hello Readers! Despite how rocky June was, I am determined to get back on track with scheduled posting in July. I cannot promise to be entirely consistent this month, but I do have several things that I want to write about, so I am doing my best. Today's review is the third book in Lauren...
