It’s been a while since I added to this blog’s virtual bookshelf, though I’ve been keeping up with my Goodreads account. I just finished a novel too good not to share with as many people as possible. I can remember the first time I picked it up at Elliot Bay Books. The year was [...]
If you’ve ever thought to yourself, my life would be different if only I had ________ as a child, then you should read this memoir. It will shut you right up.
Yes, Jeannette Walls had a creative mother and a loving father with a progressive intellect. But she also had a negligent mother and [...]
1. On my desk: The first draft of my second novel. I let it sit for so long that I forgot the twists at the end. Though it needs a lot of work, I had fun reading it, which I’ll take as a good sign. But then again, can we ever get any [...]

Hope you are enjoying the little things this weekend.
Yesterday slipped past me so quickly that I forgot to post this quote by Nisargadatta Maharaj that I’ve been saving for Wednesday’s Words of Wisdom. I found it in one of the books I am reading, “Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life” by Dr. Wayne Dyer in which he interprets each verse of the Tao [...]
