When I finished this one, I needed a pint of Moose Tracks, a double shot of vodka, and 3 mile run. Quite possibly at the same time. The Next Girl is quite a ride. Very rarely do I finish a book and have such conflicting thoughts and reactions and yet all of them led to …

“Because as long as you believe that what you see is what you get, I get to stay this way. Poised. Devoted. Alive” With these opening words, I was hooked into the world of Kristin, Izzy, Clara, and Natalie and their lives in their small community. I’ll you tell from the beginning, I need more …
I bought this book by accident. My stupid iPhone was on a ghosting spree and clicked one-click Amazon. I really shouldn’t say those words I said when this book downloaded to my kindle. I should have just buckled up and grabbed snacks for this ride. Sweet baby Moses, this book left me staring at the …
March is the beginning of spring. That means, for some people, they get the urge to clean all the things. Considering I still have 2 full-sized bedrooms still full of moving boxes, I need to punch a ticket for that cleaning train. March is also the beginning of the Yellow Snow of the south. Pollen. …
This is a new month and new round up of favorite things. While it doesn’t include my recent lifeline items like Mucinex D, lotion Puffs tissues, and Lysol wipes, I have actually been rounding up some good items between the flu fog. Check these out. 1. New in the Teacher closet. Read Across America is …
Reading Pamela Clare is like finding the best seat in the house. The one with the comfy blanket, awesome coffee, and a view of the beach or mountains. She’s just perfection. I have read and enjoyed the I-Team series for years and could not wait for Joaquin’s story. He’s been a supporting character for a …
I have to say, this graphic is a thing of glorious beauty. Up until this month, I had 3 ride-or-die instant buy or click authors. JD Robb is an instant buy from a bookstore. Kristen Ashley is an instant click or pre-order. And Mariana Zapata is USUALLY and instant buy, but I haven’t always bought …
Lora Leigh does it again! In this first installment of the Brute Force series, we finally get to see Rory get his story and his girl. From the first page, the action is in your face until the last surprise ending. Collision point could be a stand-alone for this spinoff series, but it certainly …
She went and did something I’m not real thrilled about. She wrote a NOVELLA….about Chaos motorcycle club. The one MC series that I can read and reread multiple times a year. Rough Ride is part of the 1001 Dark Nights group. This short ass, not enough words, just enough to make me mad, novella …
This month, I’m aiming for 3 things to accomplish. I was full of energy and optimism in January. Then I got sick. Now I am putting on my “Get real” hat. For the newer folks, each month, I write down on paper in front of God and everybody, things I need to get done. This …
Can I be honest? I’m not feeling it this week. I am struggling to get past the flu and my only favorites right now are whisky cough syrup and a tub of Vicks. However, I do have a few things that I’m loving right now. There may be a theme but just go with it. …
One of my main intentions for 2018 was to read more and not just read more but report more. I had said in an earlier post that I often get in slumps when all I do is reread older favorites and I wanted to expand my reading and actually post reviews. I took a couple …
January flew by fast! It’s almost to the month of February and I’m not even sure what happened these past few weeks. We’ve settled into the house, for the most part. I still have a few holiday dishes scattered around but the major stuff and trees are all upstairs in the loft. We are able …
I am not a fan of most of the reality shows but I absolutely loved this book. The characters were REAL. These were not the simpering violets on display. These women were so real they were hard to like. It was difficult to find sympathy for any of them, and honestly, that’s not a requirement …
Happy First Friday! It’s also my first day back to work and I won’t lie. I NEED to use this teacher work day as an actual clean-the-classroom work day, but I WANT to sleep a little longer. I am fighting off an awful cold/sinus/crud thing and I am dragging my tail to school. Here are …
The first Thursday of January is here and that means time to share…anything, really. My purpose for this once-a-month feature is to share some fun topics about what’s going on with me or what life in my corner looks like. Whether it’s tips on how I make life work for me, begging for help from …
Tis the Season. Even if Fall is just beginning, I’ve had a few fall things secretly hiding around the RV. The first is obviously a candle. I can’t exactly display my Basic card without a fall candle or 3. Bath and Body works has received most of my attention and funds this year. Sweater Weather …
I’m resurrecting my old running list of posts that I absolutely love to write, but forget to post. The Friday favorites! These are favorite things, people, food, etc from all over. 1. Filofax Malden in purple. This is actually my second Malden. My first one was stolen out of my car along with the best …
Have I mentioned that today is the Rock’n’Roll Nashville half marathon?? I’m sure I’ve mentioned it somewhere…. Anyway, I’m still in Tuscaloosa. Not Nashville. I was packed and ready and on the way yesterday. I was on 65 north to Nashville. A truck pulling a trailer with construction material swerved over in front of me. …
