A Blog for Books and Thoughtful Ramblings
We all have them. The book all your friends raved about for weeks. The one that everyone seemed to love and everywhere you turned, there was another four or five star review. Did you read the same book? What were all these people thinking? How could they possibly have liked it that much? So, this... Continue Reading →
Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week's topic is villains. The best, worst, sexiest, most evilly villainous, lovable, creepiest, etc. So let's jump right on in. I'm just going right to one of my absolute favorites, Loki. It's definitely Tom Hiddleston, but Loki is such a fun character. He sometimes... Continue Reading →
So, I recently “discovered” podcasts. Yeah, I know, welcome to reality, they have been wildly popular for ages now, right? Well, I’m late to everything.

However, these movies still remind me of the best of my childhood. In no particular order...... Continue Reading →
Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week's topic is popular books that lived up to the hype. So, let's just get right on down to it. That's the way we jam around here. Shelly's Picks #10 I just posted this one in my recent blog about the Facebook book covers... Continue Reading →
I don't know if it's just my Facebook feed or everyone's, but the "I accepted a challenge to post covers of 7 books I love, no explanations, no reviews, just the covers" thing has been pretty popular. Here are the covers I chose: I didn't really pick any "literary" or classic books (unless you... Continue Reading →
