Upcoming Events...And Something New

I've got three great events scheduled this week that you won't want to miss!  On Thursday I'll be interviewing Tracy Seeley, author of My Ruby Slippers: The Road Back To Kansas and I'll be providing my review of this elegant memoir as well.  This is part of the Women on Writing (WoW) book tours and I'm never disappointed with the books they send my way!  
And Friday will kick-off the Galley book tour for Justice by Karen Robards, another suspense-filled novel!  And on Satruday, I'll be posting my review of The Butterfly Cabinet by Bernie McGill, another historical mystery thriller. So be sure to stop by later this week for these remarkable reads!

 And now for something new...
I began this blog in December as part of my New Year's Resolution to get out of my rut, read more, and try to put my degree in English Lit to use (which I have certainly done)  But as with everyone, there is more to me than books and reading.  I also have a passion for cross stitching, particularly reproduction samplers from days gone by. And the Autumn harvest is just around the corner and I'll be busy canning apple sauce, apple butter, spice pear butter, pumpkin butter, and more.  I'd love to share these endeavors with you! So, I've decided to start a more personal blog where I'll be sharing my stitching projects, family recipes, and life in a small country town.  I'll be posting my first entry later this week with photos of my autumn stitching projects and invite you to follow along:

More Snow...and an Upcoming Giveaway

Here in northeast Ohio, we're rather used to long winters with lots of snow...but, I'm really beginning to feel as though I'm living inside a snow globe that just happens to be in the hands of a fascinated toddler!  And temperatures are dropping this weekend to single digits...I'm sure to be curled up with a blanket, a cup of coffee, and a good book of course.  But, let's talk about an upcoming Giveaway that's sure warm your hearts...


Once Upon a Twilight 
Good Choice Reading and Once Upon a Twilight are hosting a three-day Valentine's Day Books With Love Giveaway Blog Hop!  This event will take place February 14th-16th with many book bloggers offering a spectacular selection of love-inspired books for you to win!  I have a selection of 12 books lined up and ready, so be sure to mark your calendars and have fun hopping!




Stay Warm and, of course, Happy Reading....
