I've been rearranging my office and trying to get rid of some things to make space for a better arts/crafts supplies shelf. I was shocked to find a notebook from when I was in high school, probably around 2004 or 2005 maybe? Later I found a notebook from way before that, from when I attended Bible...

You need to be a member of the Bookish Road Trip group to enter so get over there and join the fun. A...

I realize 2022 still has another month to go but I wanted to write this post before I got into gift wrapping and traveling to see loved ones and eating way too many sweets. Writing Stuff I wrote the first draft for The Hobby Shop on Barnaby Street in three months (a new record for me) and...

I usually only post book news on this blog but posting about my current distaste for social media on social media seemed a bit silly. If you follow my Facebook page, you may have noticed I don't post much. Only a small percentage of my followers see anything on there because it is mostly...
