Good morning, everyone! I hope that you are having a lovely week so far, and that you are continuing to stay healthy. After several days of living on peanut butter, crackers, and protein shakes, I finally caved and went to the grocery store this week. Given that my last trip to any store was sometime…
Do you have specific movies that you like to watch when you are ill, or during times when you are sad or stressed out? I certainly do! While I tend to spend more time reading and writing than watching movies or television, there have been many times over the past several months when I've found…
Good morning, everyone! Happy July 4th to those of you celebrating Independence Day in the United States! I hope that you are having a fun, safe holiday weekend. Because I know that this is a time when many people normally plan to gather for cookouts, parties, and fireworks displays, I really want to encourage everyone…
Good afternoon, everyone! Did you know that today is World UFO Day? While there are many ways to celebrate this particular holiday, I think World UFO Day is a great opportunity to spend time enjoying science fiction (whether in the form of books, television, or movies). Personally, I'm planning to celebrate by watching a few…

Good morning, everyone! It's hard to believe we are only a couple short days away from the beginning of June, but here we are. My grandmother's condition continues to remain about the same. She is continuing to receive hospice care at the retirement home where she lives, and they are doing their best to manage…
Young adult fiction has really changed over the years! When I was in my teens, I found it very difficult to find good books written for a teenage audience, mostly because young adult fiction was not nearly as prevalent as it is now. My local library had a massive children's section, which included picture books,…
Happy Memorial Day weekend, everyone! I hope that you've had a wonderful week so far, and that you are continuing to stay healthy. As many of you know, my grandmother suffered a fall a few weeks ago and has been receiving hospice care at the retirement home where she lives. This week, I am excited…
It's hard to believe that it's been a week and a half since I participated in the Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon! During those 24 hours, I had the opportunity to read a lot of great books, and I've really enjoyed sharing those titles with you since the Readathon ended. This morning, I wanted to review…
Whether it's in the form of a movie, television series, or book, I do love a good murder mystery! During the recent Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon, I had the opportunity to read the fourth (and final) novel in Kerri Maniscalco's Stalking Jack the Ripper series, Capturing the Devil. While I desperately want to talk about…
