The Miracle of Reading — Myths of the Mirror

Reading with my grandchildren has far surpassed the joy I received from reading with my children. I did not expect this. Perhaps it's because as grandparents we appreciate life so much more now or maybe it's simply because we are not quite as rushed as we once were.

August 2018 Reading List

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.

June 2018 Reading List

June 2018 Reading List The June 2018 reading list is a bit longer than usual. I read voraciously this month to keep my mind occupied. This was a tough month.

I read comedies, rom-com, regular romance, fantasy, recipe books, fan fiction, short stories, newspapers, cereal boxes. If there were words near me, I read them. It was a reading […]
