Today's review is a book written and published in 1938 - something a … Continue reading Book Review: The Listening House
Hey, everyone. Last week was Labor Day in America, or what many call the unofficial end of summer. New York City held the first Labor Day parade and the state of Oregon was the first to make it an official holiday in 1887. In 1894, it became a Federal Holiday.

I was a bit skeptical about reading any of his other books, but I decided to check out Home Before Dark from my local library. Blurb What was it like? Living in … Continue reading Book Review: Home Before Dark
Hey, everyone. Time for another Tuesday book review. I keep thinking my reading time will decrease as I spend more time writing, but that hasn't happened yet. Matter of fact, I upped my Goodreads challenge from 35 books to 50 books for the year. (I really need to write but that's another story.)
