Finally things are getting back to normal in my world. Next month brings us Valentine’s Day. I hope you all have someone to share it with.

I’m finally getting back to myself after that almost one month road trip. We already have the next one planned for the end of January. We’ll be attending the Lake George, NY Winter Ice Palace Festival. Sliding down ice slides, drinking in ice bars etc. I bought new lined winter books with really good treads on them, ski pants and lined winter undies. This will only be a roughly 500 mile round trip.

Here are my offering for the month of February. I hope they entertain you.

October is just a few days away. I think you’ll find a lot of new things here to keep you entertained.

Hi all, I’ve been busy filling my October list with as many new authors as I can while planning the trip of a lifetime. We’ve got reservations on the Amtrak Auto Train to Xanth! Instead of a thousand mile road trip we put our car on the train and wake up the next morning in the Orlando area. Lots of relatives, friends and places to visit. This means that the November post might be just a little late. LOL

It’s almost August and I’m sorry I’m late with this post!

We spent last week in Salem, Ma.. The most amazing place to spend a week on vacation. We left the car in the hotel lot the whole time. There were days we managed over 10,000 steps a day. My calves are still yelling at me. So with my confession out of the way, here are my titles for the month of August. I hope all y’all find something to read that might even be new to you.
