Early in the week I was able to get some behind the scenes stuff done but yesterday my son had a routine medical procedure scheduled and as a result I’ve been very distracted and busy the last couple of days. So I thought I’d keep it simple and dug around on Pinterest for some reading related humor. EnjoyRead More →
I’ve decided to focus this month on working on some “behind the scenes” projects and general maintenance so what posts I do manage to write will probably be fairly short. Mainly, there’s one project I’ve been thinking about for a while which is creating pages for My Favorite Things so the last week or so I’ve been playing around with how I want to format those. Another project I’m working on is expanding the About page. In the meantime, I ran across an article about combining genres and thought I’d share because I thought the opening paragraph was very intriguing: From a writer’s perspective, theRead More →
I’ve been stressed out this last week due to an upcoming medical procedure so my mind hasn’t been on posting regularly. So I thought I’d just do a quick update post on what I’ve been reading, watching and playing recently. I got in the mood a week or so ago to reread the Dana Marie Bell’s Maggie’s Grove supernatural romance series. I love those books. While I was reading (devouring) them again for the umpteenth time, I realized that she had a new one coming out on July 22. Big yahoo! So I”m planning on doing a post on the new book specifically and theRead More →
I grew up watching her movies and TV series because my mother was a huge fan so I’ve been trying to put together a post on her for the last week or so. Then I ran across an article that pretty much says everything I’d say so here it is: Very, very few classic film stars still remain with us. With the passing of Doris Day in May, that number sadly becomes even more minuscule. So, today we remember wonderful Doris Day movies in tribute. 12 MOVIES WITH DORIS DAY, QUEEN OF ROMANTIC COMEDIES My personal favorite is probably a close tie between Glass BottomRead More →
I wanted to do a quick update to let everyone know I’m still here. I’ve been fighting off bronchitis since the New Year. The doctor put me on antibiotics last week and I’m finally getting back to being able to focus. Put it this way, yesterday I started rereading an old favorite romance series. So I should be able to start working on the site this week. Not sure when I’ll post anything but will definitely be working on putting stuff together this week.Read More →

This is a busy holiday week with not very much time to post so just a quick one to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving with some scrumptious food pictures. When you picture traditional Thanksgiving foods, you probably think of turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, and yams. But since America is a melting pot, it only makes sense that multicultural traditions have made their way onto the Thanksgiving table in different regions around the United States. What Thanksgiving dinner looks like in 16 regions across the country But how come I live in Kentucky and don’t remembe ever having this next one? Read More →

When I decided to restart blogging on this site, I knew it would be a struggle at times due to other commitments as well as some minor health issues. Still I mentally set a goal to post regularly at least 2-4 times a week and worked out a plan to make it happen. Of course I knew that I might not reach that goal at all some weeks. To be honest, I’m in fairly good health for my age but I do have some issues that I have to deal with periodically. One of those cropped up a couple of weeks ago when I startedRead More →
After diving in head first and posting like mad to test out some features and plugins for the last month or so, I decided it’s time for the real blogging to begin. But first I spent some time today begining to update the About page. It is by no means finished but it’s a start in the right direction. Also just so everyone knows, my plan for now is to post 3 or 4 times a week. Usually Monday, Wednesday and Friday with the occasional Saturday Superhero post just for fun. Ok, sure, that doesn’t mean I won’t be posting about superheroes the rest ofRead More →
When I was a very little girl, seriously elementary school age, I memorized a poem for class. This is the one I chose. This is also all I remember of it but it left an indelible impression on me. I wish I knew the author so that I can find the rest of it. The cover of a book is like a door That takes me to a place that I’ve not been to before A pirate or a fairy queen may wait inside for me I never know until I turn the page what wonders I shall seeRead More →

I’ve been saving this picture since I went to the Superman Celebration in Metropolis in June this year because I knew Lois Lane’s “birthday” was coming up. What can I say, we spent a wonderful day there where of course I picked up some wonderful Superman swag: a Metropolis, Illinois, Superman swag bag to hold all the goodies in a small wooden jewelry box that has absolutely nothing to do with Superman but that has a gorgeous picture of woman (girl?) in period dress reading on the top three new Superman tee-shirts, all very different in style a new Superman mug The Kryptonite Companion, aRead More →
Sometime last year I realized how tired I was of endlessly discussing romance novels online. Yeah, there I said it. Okay, to be fair, it wasn’t so much talking about them altogether as the repetitive way we romance fans tend to beat some topics surrounding them to death at times. That may or may not sound like a strange, rather contradictory thing to say, but it’s a true one, nonetheless. Then again, I also considered that maybe it had more to do with personal perspective than actual topic repetition. What I mean is simply this, as both a longtime reader of romances and someone whoRead More →
