Bargain Books By Nancy J Cohen I’m a sucker for bargain books. I get daily newsletters from The Fussy Librarian and BookBub with free and sale books. If I see one that intrigues me, I’ll peruse the reviews on Amazon to see what other readers say. This may prompt me to buy/download the book or […]
Good Humor Trucks and Books from My Favorite Authors by Debra H. Goldstein Do you remember white Good Humor trucks coming through your neighborhood? Their heyday was in the 1950’s, but the trucks, with their musical tones, were around into the 1970’s. How did you react when you heard a truck’s bells on your street? […]
Comfort Reads by Cheryl Hollon You’ve heard of comfort food, right? There are also comfort reads! My father passed away last month at nearly 92. He lived a full and rich life filled with both challenges and blessings. He was an example to his four children in the diligent application of persistent tiny steps towards […]
Sizzling Heat and Sizzling Reads By Maggie Toussaint Is it hot enough for you? Down here in coastal Georgia it’s been in the 90s for quite a while, and when you add in the Heat Index, it can be downright dangerous. Native Georgians prefer to do their outside errands and work in the early morning, […]
Happy Birthday, America! By Lois Winston This time of year many of you are probably vacationing at a lake, in the mountains, or down the shore (I’m from New Jersey; we go “down the shore” rather than “to the beach”). Hopefully, you’re enjoying warm weather and sunshine and if you’re lucky, not too much humidity. […]
Spoiled Rotten By Diane A.S. Stuckart Who doesn’t hate spoilers? Not me…sometimes. It depends on whether or not I have a vested interest in the movie/book/TV show being spoiled. As I’m writing this, we’re just a few days past the series finale of Game of Thrones. Confession time…though I’d read articles about the show on […]
Summer Siesta by Nancy J. Cohen Here in the lazy south, afternoons are good for a short nap for those of us who are lucky enough to work at home. I get up very early to accomplish my writing goals for the day, so after lunch heralds the perfect break for reading or working on […]
My TBR Shelf is Growing and Growing by Debra H. Goldstein I love to read. For years, before I started writing, I divided my To-Be-Read books between the top of a short bookcase in my home office and the corner of my dresser. When the books reached the middle of my dresser and my […]
Summertime, and the reading is easy! by Cheryl Hollon I always read more in the summer than in the winter down here in Florida. This is because I’m spending more time indoors in lovely air-conditioned comfort. The reason? It’s HOT here. It’s too hot to walk downtown in the noon-day sun. In fact, we […]
Signs, Signs, Everywhere’s a Sign By Maggie Toussaint Anyone remember the 70’s tune about there being too many signs? That song popped into my head recently and now it’s become an earworm, you know, one of those ditties that won’t let you go. Astute armchair detective that I am I wondered if the universe was […]
