Free Kindle Books
Disclosure: This post does include some affiliate links to Amazon, but other than that, it is not a sponsored post. I’ve mentioned before how much I enjoy my Kindle. There is definitely something to be said for the touch and feel of a good old-fashioned printed paper book. However, having a Kindle has allowed me access to many more books…

Currently Reading
I’m making good progress on the 2016 reading challenge I started in January. However, I have abandoned the idea of trying to read the books in the order listed. I’m not even sticking to one group at a time. Basically, I’m back to reading whatever I want, then trying to make the books fit in the categories listed. I don’t…

The Last Ride – Review
The Last Ride is the third book in the Circle C Milestones series by Susan K. Marlow. I received a free copy from the publisher in exchange for my honest review. This series continues the story of Andrea Carter from the Circle C Adventures series for younger readers. The Milestones series is for young adults, and I think The Last Ride…

I mentioned in my New Year’s Post that I was taking on a reading challenge for 2016. So far I’ve finished 4 books which is on pace to finish The Obsessed Reader phase by the end of the year. Not sure if I’ll be able to maintain that pace or not, especially if I mix in books that don’t fit…

Write 31 Days Wrap-up
Today wraps up the Write 31 Days challenge. And while I didn’t actually write something new every day, I did manage to post every day throughout the month of October. That was challenge enough for this year. Maybe next year I’ll have more of a theme for October’s challenge. It’s been a lot of fun. I’ve enjoyed coming up with…

Library Blessing
Being the book hound I am, I couldn’t resist this quaint framed Library Blessing when I came across it at a garage sale the summer of 2008. I just love the verbose pompous wording. Library Blessing O God, the Lord of all knowledge, mercifully bestow thy blessing upon this library that it may be protected from fire and all other…

Guest Post: Treasure or Trash?
My guest today is Susan K. Marlow who writes “wholesome books for kids” with a western flair. Susan blogs as her main character at Andi Carter’s Blog. Ready for a literature quiz? During the 1800s and early 1900s . . . Which books were despised by “high moralists,” condemned by preachers on Sunday, frowned upon by schoolmasters and schoolmarms on weekdays, and dismissed…

Vintage ABC picture book
Today, boys and girls, we are going to learn the alphabet. There will be a quiz, so pay attention, please! This is a “weekend re-run” from 2009 featuring a darling vintage picture book that was among some other old books that were given to me that summer. The cover is missing and there is not a copyright date on it, but the…
