Wishing for a Longer Flight

Normally, I would be setting yet another new year resolution to lose weight right about now. This year, I’ve decided to instead select 3 words to inspire me throughout the year after reading Deb’s article, “Three Little Words“.

From the time I read about the adventures of Dick, Jane and Spot, I was in love. To me, there was nothing better than going to the bookstore, and looking for the newest Nancy Drew or Trixie Belden book. It was comforting to browse through books and imagine the adventures and far […]

I’ve been on a kick lately to read the classics from the 1940’s – 1970’s, our contemporary masterpieces, the ones my mom may have been reading while I was a baby napping. After reading two modern novels that left me deeply unsatisfied – one amused by it’s own level of shock appeal, the other […]

Prose-a-holic

I regularly write reviews for All Things Girl, but if I were perfectly honest, I’d have to confess I write reviews for around 1/4th of the books I read. I am a bit of a prose-a-holic.
From the time I began reading about the adventures of Dick, Jane, and their dog Spot, I was […]
