These last days of Spring have been filled with some of my favorite things – lots of reading and lots of corvids. As we’re nearing the midpoint of the calendar year, I’m just about on target with my reading goal of 100 books this year. And just this week, my beloved flock of seven neighborhood […]

I’m filing this delightful children’s book, Days of the Blackbird: A Tale of Northern Italy by Tomie dePaola under prompt #94: Music. It’s a charming tale about a young girl and her […]

The Hundred Dresses, written by Eleanor Estes and illustrated by Louis Slobodkin, is a children’s book published in 1944 and has been in continuous print since. Which I suspect says a great deal both about the quality of the story, […]

The Three-Body Problem is a remarkably complex science fiction novel by Chinese author Liu Cixin, covering a lot of ground both literally and figuratively. The three-body problem refers to a long-standing problem in physics that attempts to calculate and […]

So it’s no surprise A to Z of You and Me by James Hannah made it to my reading list. I’m guessing this novel won’t be […]
