My never-ending obsession with books and crafts led me to this post on hand-made books. I can NOT tackle another craft now but I can dream. Perhaps this is best left until after the holidays when the cold winter sets in. Making books by hand seems like it would be a fine craft to try […]
Hello and welcome to the September 2018 book list ( also known as my reading list). I am never quite sure what to call this. I have a To Be Read (TBR) list but for this monthly post these are books I have read (occasionally books read by my family). What do you call your […]
I found this short poem by Walt’s Writings to be just the thing to make you smile. It’s a quick read but says so much if you really concentrate on the words. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. A quick read to brighten your day…what more could you ask for? A […]
Chris Pavesic brings together two of my favorite things in this blog post. A delightfully simple almond candy recipe along with an excerpt of the book Can’t Stop the Music*, both by authors C.D. Hersh. This is the co-author team of Catherine & Donald Hersh, high school sweethearts who write separately and together. What unique books they […]
I love a good book with the potential for learning as well as entertaining. I recommend 10 picture books every adult should read by Chelsea Pennington of Penn & Paper. It serves that purpose quite well. Please take a look at the post & maybe give a book or two a try. I love Prudence the Part-time […]

Welcome to the August 2018 Reading List! The August 2018 reading list is chock full of excellent books from romances to business and planners to toddler books. It has been hot…very hot, here in the midwest. Therefore, there has been little cooking & cleaning accomplished. If I wasn’t in the pool, I was probably by […]
I’ve been reading & writing a lot of flash fiction lately. This post by Sue Vincent epitomizes “flash fiction” to me. It has mystery, human emotion, a twist at the end. So much packed into a tiny story. If you enjoy flash fiction and in particular this story, let me know. Read & enjoy!! Gina […]
I am sharing a blog post from one of my readers today. July Reading Round Up – Dining with Donald is a reading list presented from a little different perspective & genre than what I usually read. I hope you enjoy it. Gina Posts may contain affiliate links. July Reading Round Up This month […]
Welcome to the July 2018 Reading List. I have several recommendations and a few reviews. The first part of the month was devoted to family and simply enjoying my time with them. I read very little during that time other than children’s books but I made up for it after all the visitors left. […]
