Suzie, my sister’s mother-in-law, fell ill on Monday. It turns out she had a brain aneurysm that required cranial surgery.

BBAW Reading Meme
16 Sep By 20 Comments
Today is Reading Meme day during BBAW. This is a much more laid back event, and I must say I’m thankful for that. Wouldn’t you know that the girls would come down with strep throat this week? These girls are never sick, so I really won’t complain (too much). I was home with them yesterday, [...]

13 Sep By 223 Comments
One of the best things about Book Blogger Appreciation Week is the giveaways. They are fun to host and they are fun to win. For me, how my giveaway came about is the result of a fluke. Many of you commented on my post I wrote earlier this month on being too unfaithful a reader [...]
