What I Read in June
It's always interesting to me to look back and see what I've read recently. I don't usually plan ahead, but pick up books that appeal to me at the moment. This could explain why I often have two (or five) books going at once.

Oklahoma Road Trip
Last week we made another trip to Arkansas to take the last of our stuff. This time we didn't bring a trailer back with us, and with the 4th of July holiday we had an extra day to dawdle a little. For one part of the trip we chose to follow Highway 412 across northern Oklahoma. I was especially interested…

Friday Freebies
Happy Independence Day Weekend! I hope you'll find a time to fix yourself a glass of lemonade (or whatever your favorite iced drink is) and find a cool, shady spot to lose yourself for in a story for a little bit. Here are a few freebies I found to add to my Kindle this week.

Review: IQ Circuit
I'm a huge proponent of off-screen activities for road trips. It's hard to create family memories if everyone's focus is on their individual screens. For that reason, I'm always on the lookout for fun travel games and activity books. IQ Circuit is one such game I received for review from Timberdoodle.

12 Books for the 4th of July
The 4th of July isn't--thank goodness!--a holiday for gifts or passing out candy like so many have evolved into. It's a midsummer day off that, for us, usually involves family, friends, and doing something outdoors. The perfect opportunity to think about and appreciate our freedoms as Americans. With that in mind, I wanted to share a round-up of a dozen…

Friday Freebies
We're headed out on another road trip, this one mostly on the Interstate, so it's time to load up the Kindle. (I'm pretending like there's not already a gazillion unread books already on my Kindle. Just play along with me.) You probably need some new ones on yours, too, don't you? I thought so. Let's see what's available for free…

Review: Silent Altitudes
What would it look like if scientists were able to develop a solution to the "global warming" problem? And what would it look like if the project went horribly wrong? That's the premise of Silent Altitudes.

Two-Lane Road Trips
Highway 2 actually starts in Everett, Washington, near Seattle. Last weekend we were over there for a church convention so I suggested to Lyle that we come back across on Highway 2 so we can count that segment as part of our summer road trip adventure. It was 280 miles and we ended that part in Spokane.

Review: Dusk’s Darkest Shores
If you’re a fan of Regency romance novels you’ll not want to miss Dusk’s Darkest Shores by Carolyn Miller. I went through a phase a number of years ago where I read Regency romances voraciously. At this stage of my life I enjoy more of a mix of genres but I do find myself picking up a Regency now and…
