Retrospect

Last Sunday night, I penned a blog trying to fulfill a commitment to my readers and it came out all wrong. I wanted to express my frustration at parts of my life. But, the words they weren't.....They were true, but still awkward. They were in that moment in time the truth, but not all truths …

Getting Back in the Saddle

The past couple of months, I have continued to read with a passion, but haven't produced a book review.  My brain just wasn't in the game.  Not sure where it was, but writing reviews or keeping up with this site wasn't apart of its plans. Then I won two books in a Thanksgiving Contest which I …
