Where words come to wander
Ah, the lazy days of summer, the perfect time to curl up in the sun on your favorite lounge chair and get lost in the pages of a good book. I'll admit there weren't nearly enough of those moments this past summer, but I managed to devour a handful of delicious reads. Here are a... Continue Reading →
What's that they say about best laid plans? I set out to do monthly book reports, which became bimonthly (I totally just googled this term to double check, and it does in fact mean "twice a month or every other month" because that's not confusing at all), which has now become seasonal. Because soccer. Yup,... Continue Reading →
Recently a friend on social media tagged me in a post about books. It asked to post the covers of seven books I loved over the course of seven days. No review of any sort or an explanation as to why I loved them. Just the covers. BOOKS? I'm in. NO EXPLANATION? You're killing me,... Continue Reading →
I've decided to change things up a bit this year with my book reports -- instead of writing about all the books I've read in a given month, I'll highlight my main recommendations.

And I couldn't let a month slip past without giving a shout-out to all the wonderful words that entered my brain in story form. November was a very YA/Middle grade focused month. In fact, I didn't read... Continue Reading →
October was a good month for reading. Oh who am I kidding? Every month is a good month for reading! I decided to let my most recent novel do a bit more marinating before I dive back into revisions and have been working on a YA book written in verse. A very fun project, but... Continue Reading →
Last month I discovered that middle grade audio books sometimes come with fun sound effects and musical accompaniment. We took a small road trip over the holiday weekend and even though I did relent and allow the boys to watch videos part of the way, I made sure to get kid friendly audiobooks just in...

Forgive my slight lateness, back to school and all that jazz. Which around here is two-fold as work has been slightly insane the past few weeks. I am in admissions, and you would think students would have that part already done, ya know, BEFORE classes started? Nope. First day was yesterday and there were still fall applications...
