Slice of Life Day 28: My Place to Relax
The same time I was finishing up graduate school, my parents downsized in square footage and upsized (is that a word?) the gorgeous property quotient. They found a log home on 13 acres of land in the country with a private lake on the property. So when I spend time…

Captain Marvel Read Alikes
I was sadly disappointed with Captain Marvel. I really, really, really wanted to like it, but it took about 2/3 of the way through the movie before I finally connected with the character. I know they tried to work with flashbacks to create a mysterious background, but I just don’t…

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? 3/25/19
Last Week I got through a couple of great titles this week. I finished up To Night Owl from Dogfish by Holly Goldberg Sloan and loved the ending! The epistolary style also worked really well for this novel and was something a little different. I also read a novel in…
