March might be known for madness, but around here it brought motivation! Our No Chapter Left Behind crew kept the pages turning and made serious progress on those many books adorning our shelves. Each month, members select books they already own (because let’s face it, those TBR piles aren’t shrinking themselves). Optional themes add a…

Day 8 of the 20 Days of Me! They say you shouldn’t play favorites but sometimes I just can’t help it. It’s true. I may love all seasons (well, parts of all the seasons anyway 😂) but I do have a favorite. It may even be a cliche favorite but that’s okay because I…

Day 6 of the 20 Days of Me! Do you collect anything? I am a bit of a packrat so I am always collecting, even unintentionally. But I do have a couple purposeful collections. Of these, squashed pennies are the main one. What is it about these flattened pennies that makes me want them so…
Welcome to Day 5 of the 20 Days of Me series… What’s in my purse? Apparently this was a challenge going around on the internet back in 2010. I’m only a decade late to the party! But better late than never, right? My current purse is an Overland Equipment Donner Bag. I bought it to…
