Top Ten Tuesdays: Book Events/Festivals I’d Love to Go to Someday
So far, I’m batting a thousand and this is my third week to regularly participating on Top Ten Tuesdays. Today’s topic was a challenge for me to come up with but keep reading to see what events/festivals and bookish travel I would like to experience (real and imagined).

Top Ten Tuesday “Authors That Make Us Smile”
I don’t know how dedicated I will be at posting on Top Ten Tuesdays, but I am giving it a shot the past two weeks. Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. Each week a theme is presented and this week it is authors that make us smile. (We all need something to…

Top Ten Tuesdays: Authors I’ve Read Most
I am sure I am not alone in the fact that I have been reading more than ever recently (since March 16 and my job-imposed work at home order and the state’s safer at home order). There’s only so much TV that’s binge-worthy so reading is the better option. I am still working from home…

It’s the end of May and I’m hosting Midnight in Paris for Food ‘n Flix. You can read the announcement post here. So, it stands to reason that I am probably the last person to post. (That being said, the deadline is actually tomorrow, May 31.) Let me get this out there first off: I am not…

#TheJaneAustenSocietyParty, a new novel, and Miss Bate’s Baked Apples
