Amish Romance is a new genre for me and one I haven’t been interested in until recently. It’s such a big genre and I have just started to explore it. My interest started on a whim when I picked up a new book here at the library that had a cute title and attractive cover. […]

For years I’ve had about a 30 minute drive to and from my job at the library. This is my time to be alone with my thoughts, to sing along to a music CD or the radio, and to listen to books on CD. The road I travel is a pretty good one, even in […]

One of my greatest passions in life has always been reading. No matter where I was, what was going on, I had a book in hand. Then an introduction to puzzle games grew into a deep love of video games. Very rarely do I get to indulge in all of the above at once, but […]

As we march into the 21st century, more and more services and resources are migrating online, from virtual education to tax preparation and information gathering to recreational outlets. Libraries have always been carriers of information; over time, they have simply evolved from housing texts on clay tablets to offering limitless resources on today’s mobile tablets. […]

Growing up I always loved watching movies, but was also a fanatic about reading a good book! These two hobbies are something that I shared with my father, and I could always count on him recommending a great book to read or being a willing viewer of the latest blockbuster movie. In recent years it […]

I love the transition from spring to summer: bringing the porch furniture out of storage, planting annual flowers, and generally preparing for a season of outdoor enjoyment. Over Memorial Day weekend, we finally managed to get the last of our seedlings out of the greenhouse and into the ground, freeing up space on the patio […]

Summer is finally upon us and there is nothing more satisfying than a great book to read while enjoying your camping trip, trip to the beach, or visit to the pool. Last summer I wrote a post featuring books I consider perfect for the beach and one on Women’s Fiction which in my opinion also […]
