Monday's Muddle

Pin It
A muddle is a miscellany, an unorganized mixture of various dissimilar items or elements.

 
This will definitely make you chuckle! What can we learn from this video?




If books could have more, give more, be more, show more, they would still need readers who bring to them sound and smell and light and all the rest that can’t be in books.
The book needs you.

My Antonia, by Willa Cather

Pin It
A beautiful classic! Wonderful characters! A vivid depiction of the harshness of pioneers lives on the Nebraska prairie in 1890. How they endured I'll never know! Close lifelong friendships, immigrants, differing religions, death in deep winter during a terrible snowstorm. Interesting all the way around. I highly recommend it.

Published in 1918

This was also made into a movie in 1995 starring Jason Robards and Neil Patrick Harris.

Road Trip!

Tomorrow we are off on another Road Trip! Headed south again to the beach. Hilton Head, South Carolina. Went there last year too. One of the Travellers favorite places. Hopefully this will be a big reading week for me. It will help immensely if I don't have wifi available :)

Audio books for the ride down (12 hrs)

A classic I've never read. Looking forward to this one!

My Antonia by Willa Cather

A book I've seen around the blogs and thought I might like

Check it out here


For those of you that live in the state of Pennsylvania you can get a library to the Free Library of Philadelphia and get Ebooks and Audio books from them and they have a huge selection!! Maybe each state has a large library you can do the same with?


Print books I'm taking to read...

Mad Puppetstown by M. J. Farrell (Molly Keane)
Murder within Murder by Richard and Frances Lockridge

Here's an update on the bedroom re-do, new curtains up and book shelves moved in! So cosy I want to be in there all the time!

I'll be thinking about you Tami while I'm walking on the beach:)
