Open to words, forever–
Even though I got a flu shot back in November, I still somehow came down with a nasty virus of some sort–muscles that ache as if I just ran back-to-back ultra marathons, and a head alternately pounding and spinning–so I spent most of the day recovering (the first time in years that I have actually
If you need help getting going, here is a great list sourced from LitHub contributors. Post in the comments any books you are looking forward to in March! I am excited to start re-reading Middlemarch by George Eliot.
Hello friends, I hope that you have enjoyed following along here for the Winter reading challenge, that has ended yesterday. Even if you haven’t been posting, it’s all good- this is a guilt free reading blog. If you want to post now, you are more than welcome. I will be changing the name of the

A biography of three great female artists: Carole King, Joni Mitchell, and Carly Simon. Sheila Weller charts their journey through their lives in the the late 60’s as the three were coming of age and enduring the growing pains as artist, lover, mother and friend. “Girls Like Us is an epic treatment of mid-century
OMG this book. Let’s just start by saying, if you are offended by the title, you will not find this book funny. I, on the other hand, thought it was HYSTERICAL. It’s a satirical view of women’s every day behaviors and how (obviously) men do it better. Silly things like needing a basket for the
