Last week, I spent time working on one of the webpages on my new website. The site is still very much under construction, but I have been blogging from it, while I build it. It’s a big dream website, where I am trying to showcase various skills, abilities, and goals in one place, while preparing…

by Joseph Bruchac I loved this book! I loved the main character and first person mental dialogue. It reminds me of Craig Johnson’s Walt Longmire series. I also loved that I learned tidbits of information about various native cultures around the world. Padoskoks is the second in the Jacob Neptune series and is set in…

So I’ve been checking out a lot of cookbooks from the library lately. For inspiration, health, and information. I’ve had low back pain for weeks which has just recently relented. And my gut instinct is telling me that at least part of it is related to diet. I liked this one so much that I…

So I’ve been listening to an awesome book – You are a Badass at Making Money by Jen Sincero. I love this author and everything she has to say. I’ve checked out the book from the library and have been listening to it as much as I can while in the car – commuting, running errands,…

So I finally got around to writing another blog posting for a book I read not too long ago. I wrote it originally for my library’s blog – because it’s a good book and it hasn’t been checked out very much. I’m posting the review here first – it won’t show up on Pima County…

I’ve been busy with life. Too busy to write about books I’ve been reading. I’ve been busy finding and buying my first house, moving, (all while pregnant and working full time), giving birth, and raising my son. He’s a beautiful boy. And while I’ve been busy with all of this, I’ve still been reading. Just…

So, I haven’t been posting to this blog recently – I just haven’t had time lately… However, I did post a few days ago to the Ravenous Reader Blog which my library runs. My post was called Horror in the Woods, which refers to a book I read recently, not the branch where I work. Unfortunately due…

Happy Belated New Year! I started writing this a couple of weeks ago to post in mid-January – and it had been a while since I had finished the books then…. Some parts of my life just feel as though I am wading through quickly drying mud. A couple of weeks ago, I was going…

By Peter Heller I found this book to be extremely moving. While the story is both grim and bleak, it is also wondrously hopeful and beautifully written. The story is about love, courage, and finding one’s home. It is written from the main character, Hig’s, perspective in short segments. While the first part of…

Often I will put books on hold with the library and they all tend to come in at once – or in a very short time period. This is what is happening right now. I’ve had many items on hold for months which have started to arrive. First I got Phantom by Jo Nesbø. I…
