My Fave Reads of 2020
Drum roll please! Behold, my list of my fave reads of 2020! (or, my whimper-inducing reminder of how many books i DIDN'T read last year...)
HAPPY NEW YEAR!! And welcome to my (narrowed down, I swear) list of my fave reads of 2020! There have been so many great books out this year (again!) but life prevented me from reading as much as I wanted to (again!). I initially thought (without checking) that I’d read so much less than I did last year. But lo and behold, I actually read more AND i even exceeded (barely) my reading challenge…

Storytelling….. (Nostalgia series)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I was reading a particularly good story (Brave Girl, Quiet Girl by Catherine Ryan Hyde)  the other day and it set me to wondering;  when was my first memory of a story being told to me. The very firstone? I must have been three or four. Many stories were told orally by my mother.   It’s really amazing how many fairy tales she knew by heart. I believe that began my life-long-love of story…

FUNDAY MONDAY, OR THE BOOKS THAT WILL HELP ME SURVIVE THE WEEK AHEAD (OCTOBER 9, 2017)
Another week begins.  I quickly slip into my business suit and head back into the office to save a few innocent people. But while I try to fool myself into being excited about the promise of a new year and the continuation of the regular grind, deep down, I’m not, so I’m going to escape dreary reality by reading some great books.
Another week and even more books to fit into the hectic schedule.…

Balderdash: Culpable
Balderdash: Culpable - Andrea gets Emmanuel a dog, and he promises to take care of it. How well will he do, and how long will it last?
After dinner, I found myself in Emmanuel’s room browsing the adoption website for a new member of our family. He was so excited he couldn’t stop bouncing himself on the bed. I have to admit, I was pretty excited too. None of the foster homes I lived in ever had pets. I suppose taking care of someone else’s children was enough of an adventure.
