Oh, hello there.
Yes, it seems that I temporarily dropped off the face of the Earth.

But then there was also the onset of post-Christmas germs.
And so this week, when I had planned [...]

There’s a growing pile of presents under the tree and baked goods on the kitchen counter. If the snow blanketing our front yard didn’t convince me that fall is over, the fact that Christmas will arrive by week’s end would. As we welcome(?) winter, it’s time to bring Fall Into Reading 2009 to a close.

So…how’s your reading going? Have you been curling up with a book and the warm beverage of your choice very [...]

I just love seeing fellow readers and book-lovers sharing their reading goals. I won’t tell you how many books I’ve added to my wish list and my “think [...]

Welcome to Fall Into Reading 2009! Don’t tell my husband, but I’ve blocked off all of today to sip coffee, read your posts, and get started on working through my own reading list. I hope you’re ready to read, too!
I’m looking forward to seeing what’s on everyone’s reading lists this fall, and finding some new [...]

Okay, I’m trying to be realistic this time around. I want to complete two books I’m currently reading, and I’ve only chosen nine new books for the Fall Into Reading 2009 challenge — to leave room for flexibility (blog tours, mood changes, etc.), but also to give myself a fair chance at finishing them. If the reading [...]
