Booking Through Thursday & Loving My Books Well

Ok, I’ll admit it for once and for all.  I love my books well.  Very well.  Is that bad?  Yes, I bend the spines by placing the book at the top of the couch to mark my page if I have to get up suddenly.  I dog-ear pages so I can come back easily the [...]

A Couch That Knows My Heart

We have a set of couches up for sale. They’re like new.  Probably four years old, but only sat on for about two months of that time.  They used to be a part of the cool, modern room in our basement.  However, now that we’ve had a child, we’re no longer cool, and judging by [...]

Booking Through Thursday… on Friday Again

This week’s question asks about your favorite literary couples. It sounds like Gilbert and Anne from Anne of Green Gables are a favorite in the book blogging world, and I have to admit they’re mine too.  I also love Henry de Tamble and Clare Abshire from The Time Traveler’s Wife and Harry and Ginny from the [...]

A Little Book Love

Ahhhh… a big sigh of relief since I’ve FINALLY picked up a book that’s captivating me. The first in a while, which is sad.  I read all last night while Matt was watching the hockey game, looking up occasionally to see the score or hear his commentary on something he found interesting about the game.
Oh, [...]

Blogs and More Blogs

Authors are the New Boy Bands

We live in interesting times.  Some people scoff at the notion of celebrity authors, and say that the quality of writing is questionable, and that these authors have sold out to the marketing machine.  The equivalent of the boy band.  Others hold fast to the authors they love and wear their allegiance proudly on their [...]
