Reads fast, cooks slow, occasionally finishes a crochet project. Always on the lookout for the perfect soup/stew/ curry recipe or sweater pattern. Blue through and through...

If you want to read a new book coming out but don't want to buy it, a great thing you can do is ask your local library to order it. The more requests they get, the more likely they are to acquire it and then lots of people will get to read it who othewise wouldn't.

I'm making a batch of beef stew in the slow cooker, chatting with my pet parrot Lulubelle, and keeping watch on the grimalkins at the front porch. Life is good--enjoy your Sunday!

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you don't need to justify your reading preferences and choices to anyone. Audiobooks count as reading. Also, you don't have to finish books you don't enjoy. Don't read to impress, read for yourself. Life's too short, love yourself, ok?

We're pretty inclusive at my house, so at this time of year, we bring out the Elf, the Mensch, and Farting Santa.

(Gandalf was just passing by. He knows a lot of elves.)
