    Last Week It’s been a very busy week which definitely slowed by reading down. This week, I spent a lot of time catching up on stuff at work and when I was home, I was getting some spring cleaning done. I did manage to read a few books this week…

    Top Ten Tuesday

    I love it when a Top Ten Tuesday theme makes me look at books a little differently! Books With Single-Word Titles had me thinking about the power of words and how much of the story you glean just from the title of a book. I love that these single-word titles…

    Top Ten Tuesday: Books That Gave Me a Book Hangover

    Top Ten Tuesday

    A book hangover, for those who aren’t familiar, is when you finish reading a title and you just can’t bring yourself to pick up another book. The book you just finished sticks with you as you mull over characters, plot, setting, etc. I’m a pretty fast reader, so when a…
