A Year at the Chateau, what an accompaniment to an enthralling show! Our neighbors across the pond are well acquainted with British couple Dick and Angel Strawbridge. For the rest of us, we get the opportunity to hear about their adventures in owning a 19th-century chateau in France. A year ago, I stumbled across their… Read More
I was cleaning my office space over the holiday weekend and found a stack of books that I have not read yet. Picking up A Little Me by Amy Roloff, and holding it in my hand reminded me why I decided to launch this website so many years ago. All my life, I have had a love… Read More
I love to read. Most times, I gravitate towards the same genre. Then I feel like I am stuck in a rut. When this happens I need a complete reset. I pick up something that years ago I would never consider. I often pick up a children’s book is when I loose interest in my… Read More
I have been a book lover since I was old enough to read. It seemed that there were never enough books to keep me satisfied. The older I got saw me leaning towards one genre versus others. As an adult, I began to write and started sharing reviews of the books I read. My blog… Read More
“Love With An Imperfect Bride”, I have to admit, was a little outside of my reading comfort zone.

Could it be her infectious smile? Perhaps it is the familiar warmth she exudes when we see on onscreen or onstage. Still, it could be just bringing laughter into our… Read More

All you might remember Ms. Brown as she played the role of “Marnie Piper” in Disney’s Halloweentown I, II, & III. In her latest adventure, she brings her Halloween holiday expertise to print and introduces us to… Read More
I went into reading A Love to Call Mine by Merrillee Whren without any preconceived ideas. I did not read the synopsis or any of the reviews so I had no idea of the story’s focus. It allows me to be more in tune when I read. Also, it reminds me to not to rush through a reading. At this time… Read More
