Buckle up for some humblebragging. I could read before kindergarten. In fact, when I went into kindergarten, I once got in trouble for reading the teacher’s lesson plans. THAT WERE IN CURSIVE. In first grade, during reading time, the teacher sent me to the class with fourth- and fifth-graders to read with them. All throughContinue reading “Forever a bookworm”

Remembering the end of an era
Harry Potter has been over for a while now. No new books, no new movies. I refuse to accept it. Just kidding. But I will miss the excitement of the book release parties and the midnight showings and the fellow HP nerds that made you feel like you belonged. When the seventh book came out,Continue reading “Remembering the end of an era”
Smiley things
I think I’ve said before that perspective is a hell of a thing. Life could be much worse and luckily, it’s not.

I like to share things I like with other people – I hear a funny story, see a good movie, hear a great song, IContinue reading “These are a few of my favorite things…”

My perfect day – if I could have a day just to do this and nothing else – would include little more than a comfortable chair and a stack of books. Oh, and lunch delivered from McAlister’s. Seriously though. I love to read. Always have. And I’m pretty good at it. Insert moment of shamelessContinue reading “I’m gonna need a bigger bookshelf”
