When Books Are Like Hugs

28th April 2021

And so, I seem to have got some sort of depression for my recentish birthday. Let’s not talk about it, it’s boring. Books and updates on Isla’s strawberry plant from school have kept me going. A few days ago, I finished (reading) my 21st book of the year, so I thought I’d talk about some of them, with the help of this survey recently spotted at Rust Belt Girl. When you have so much to say, sometimes answering questions is…

A Decade In Books

19th December 2019

I’ve read 339 books (so far) this decade. While figuring out my favorite books of the past ten years, I counted them all. This has been some ten years, in books and life. Books are life. And truthfully, I’ve been working on this post for a while. This has been the House of Germs recently, with Isla’s Christmas play, and that time she decorated Neil with tinsel. He wasn’t even asleep. However. Back to the books. My favorites from the…

10th June 2019

Two things about me: Sometimes, I have so much to say, I don’t know where to start or what to write. I’m really bad at blog post introduction paragraphs. Working on it. And since there’s so much going on, I’m doing a currently-going-on list, which does contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure here. Hi. Biggest thing this month, I went cold turkey off coffee. Yes, me. Thing was, last Monday, I came off yet another sleepless night. And I wanted…

Great Books and Music For A Road Trip

17th May 2019
Books and music I listen to on #roadtrips. Perfect for family travel.

I’m going on a road trip with the family today. You’d be forgiven for thinking we do this a lot, because we do. This time we’re looking for a house (yes, still) and taking the kid to Edinbrick to see a bunch of Legos that aren’t already in my house. I’ve said before that I’m trying to get more organized. But there are two places where I already have color-coded lists. Blogging, and planning a trip. I LOVE traveling. Planes…
