Have your book-tastes changed over the years? More fiction? Less? Books that are darker and more serious? Lighter and more frivolous? Challenging? Easy? How-to books over novels? Mysteries over Romance? Since I started this blog at the beginning of 2007, the biggest change I’ve noticed in my taste has been my almost glutenous love for [...]

I am forever be indebted to Betty Jackson for this design for her showing at London Fashion Week: I now have all the motivation I will ever need to get in shape. I so want to squeeze myself into a pair of Henry VIII hot pants! I only wish I could wear them to the [...]
#40 ~ Jonathan’s Story; Finale
28 Sep By 2 Comments
I finished Jonathan’s Story last night and it felt somewhat like watching (or, in my case, listening) to a Friday episode and immediately being able to watch the Monday episode.

You want a piece of me? As much as I try to not think about Jonathan’s Story, I knew the second that I woke up yesterday morning that today was “the” day. The book is in the book stores. I checked the reviews, and I could only find two on Amazon.com. One liked it one [...]
