It’s that time of year again. The time we all look back over the past year and take a look at our favorite reads. This year is a bit different for me because I started listening to audiobooks. Audiobooks are a very different experience, but an equally valid method of enjoying the written word. I […]

For a couple of years now, my good friends Jennifer (The Book Nympho), Liza (Blogging by Liza), Felicia (The Geeky Blogger’s Book Blog), Marquetta (Love to Read for Fun), and others have been touting audiobooks. And my continual reply was “I don’t do audiobooks.” Let me tell you, it wasn’t for lack of trying! I attempted […]
Time for a break… One of my goals for 2014 is to keep up Saturday Conversations and open the spot up for guest posts, etc. Another one of my goals is to spend less time working on the blog and more time reading. Unfortunately, right now those goals are working against one another, and […]

She specifically mentioned those books because of their corresponding movies. These […]
