Yay! 🎉 I met my 2023 Goodreads Reading Challenge by reading 52 books this past year. Yes, I am an avid reader, but even by my standards, that was quite a feat! When I think back to all that 2023 brought me – a move from Morgan Hill to Oakland; looking for, finding, and starting …
Come join me on a renewed reading journey! I have been a part of book clubs for the better part of three decades. Unfortunately, the pandemic made those books clubs take an extended long break. I read a lot, but without a book club making reading suggestions, I have stuck to just a couple of …
This is a summer of no travel. Perhaps there will be a drive to visit my parents, but with the growth of Covid cases – this is still debatable. Our local numbers are still on the rise. I love to travel. That is a truth, and staying at home this summer is not the norm. …
My reading challenge continues! With a goal of reading 50 books in 2020 I need to be mindful of my reading time. I love reading, but time is my issue – and February is a shorter month! Good thing I had one one extra day in February this year. It helped! Last month I read …

I just finished reading the most enjoyable book – one that I so loved reading that I am recommending it to many, many of my friends. This is a true story told in memoir fashion that is full of heart, hope, and the satisfaction of a day’s hard work. The Dirty Life: On Farming, Food, …
Way back in February I posted my 2017 Reading Challenge. I have been busy reading, and have knocked off quite a few of my selections, but I have not yet shared them with you. So sorry about that! My book clubs keep me busy reading – almost too busy. Can that really be right? I …
Join me in a 2017 reading challenge! I love to read, but finding the time to read is a real challenge in my life. That is why I am really glad that I belong to two book clubs. This forces me to find the time to sit and read. Plus I get the added bonus …
