Randomness...
- Lunch last week with a friend I hadn't seen in awhile...it was very fun to catch up with her and we even made hiking plans for June.
- I saw an excellent movie last month: Escape From Germany. It's based on a true story, and the woman sitting next to me in the theater turned out to be the niece of one of the missionaries portrayed in the movie, which was a fun coincidence.
- New socks! I know this seems like a small thing, but I really needed new socks and I found some that are both colorful and comfortable, and I'm happy to have them.
- My lilac bush is finally in bloom, which always makes me glad because I love the scent of lilacs!
- And I've got a lovely new stack of books from the library to read this month. Life is good.

Need a laugh?
I love John Atkinson's cartoons! They're smart and clever and funny. And they always make me laugh. Like this one. Be sure to check out his website Wrong Hands to see more. It'll add a little happiness to your day.

Some very sad news...
I learned yesterday that my sweet blogging friend and reading buddy, Melody Lee, passed away suddenly last month from a brain aneurysm. She was such a kindhearted, funny, and caring person. We started commenting on each other's blogs back in 2016, then did our first buddy read a year later. Over the last seven years we read 34 books together. And we had our next buddy read scheduled for next month. She was a dear friend, and I will miss her so much. Please keep her family in your hearts and prayers.

How to Walk Away by Katherine Center
- Needing to find reasons to live had forced me to build a life worth living.

- You have to live the life you have.
- When you don't know what to do for yourself, do something for somebody else.
- There are all kinds of happy endings.

Randomness....
- Found an almost new copy of Nora Goes Off Script at the library book sale for only 10 cents! (This made me so happy because it's a book I really love.)
- Woke up to the cheerful "chirr-up, chirr-up" of robins outside my window...a sure sign it's finally spring.
- Celebrated Pi day with a yummy piece of Edwards' Chocolate Creme Pie.
- Got to see the new Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire movie over the weekend and it totally made me laugh. I especially loved all the little Stay Puft marshmallow guys.
- Best of all, my spring break starts today...I have one long, lovely week off to read, relax and have some fun.

A Bookish Trio...
Tuesday, March 26, 2024
What's up?
This post is supposed to be a review. At least that's how I planned it out in my head at the beginning of the month. But as you can see, I have no review to post today. The last book I finished was Dread Journey by Dorothy B. Hughes, which I loved, but I decided to write a haiku review for that one because it was easier.
I also recently finished The Love Plot by Samantha Young which is a sweet and steamy grumpy vs. sunshine fake-dating romance that I liked. So why didn't I review that one? *shrugs* I guess I'm not feeling too motivated to write these days. But I am reading.
Right now I'm in the middle of three books: True Biz, Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries, and The Wind in the Willows. They're each unique and entertaining in their own way, and I'm enjoying all of them. Hopefully, I should have some short reviews ready to go for my next post. Until then...
Happy Reading!
