This month I have already had parent conferences, multiple other meetings, and many other events stopping me from just sitting at home to read all the books! What I Have Been ReadingWith that said, I still have still made a good dent …

Travel Thursday: Amsterdam! The Sights, Ways to Get Around, and More!

Canal view walking through Amsterdam Canals! Museums! One of the world's best tram lines ever! If you guessed Amsterdam, then you would be correct! While many people think of The Red Light District and cafes when it comes to Amsterdam, there is so much more to this bustling city. My husband and I have traveled …

Spooky Season Reads

Many people are seasonal readers. I see Booksta accounts that read romance in February and holiday books in December. Personally, I only show up for the spooky or Gothic October reads. Ask me to watch a scary movie and while I will, my eyes will be covered half the movie. I have seen the original …

October Outlook

Photo by Pixabay on Pexels.com It's hard to believe how fast 2023 has gone as we head into full blown fall. And what I mean by fall is slightly less hot than summer. Florida is clearly not where one resides for fall weather. We just got back from a short trip to Ohio, so we …

2023 Goals

Review: Book Lovers

Title: Book LoversAuthor: Emily HenryPub date: May 3, 2022 Wowza. Absolutely my favorite Emily Henry book. I was a total outlier, as People We Meet on Vacation was not anywhere near something I enjoyed. Two adults that could have a five minute conversation to solve their "problem" is my most hated trope in the whole …

Review: The Murder Rule

Title: The Murder RuleAuthor: Dervla McTiernanPub Date: May 10, 2022 I am huge fan of McTiernan's Corman Reilly series. So when I saw she had a stand alone coming out, I was pumped to receive a Netgalley from William and Morrow. What I Enjoyed: I found the plot moved along at a good pace. This …

Review: The No-Show

Title: The No ShowAuthor: Beth O'LearyPub: Out Now! After truly loathing The Road Trip and actually DNFing it, I was worried that The No-Show would let me down. And to be honest it took some time. We know there is one man and three women. He stands them all up on Valentine's Day and we …
