Each year one of my favorite DPP pictures is of my book club because my book club is my favorite. This year has been…you know…different. When the pandemic began we tried Zoom for a couple of months and then all summer and into the fall we found a lovely outside spot. Now it’s cold again […]

My goodness but July seems a long time ago…let’s see, where did I leave off? July   August

So…it’s been a while. The good news is you didn’t miss much. I have been in a major reading slump–and an even majorer reviewing slump. But I caught up today. The secret, actually, turned out to be taking the number off all my IG posts. I didn’t think I was too invested in the number […]

Readingwise, March came in like a lion and went out like a lamb. Or maybe it was the other way around. The point is, I read some really good books at the beginning of the month, but the end of the month has been a bust of several DNFs in a row (not pictured or […]

I ended up finishing quite a few books this month (10), but most of my headspace was taken up with The Lazy Genius podcast. I’ve told you about her laundry system, haven’t I? Game. Changer.

My Name Is Asher Lev, by Chaim Potok. I first read this book about 15 years ago. I remembered only that it was about a Jewish boy trying to reconcile art and his religious beliefs and that I liked it. On this reading, though, I will say that it is easily one of my favorites […]

Ah, how good it is to be among people who are reading. –Rainer Maria Rilke I adore my book club. These women (and a few not pictured) are some of the smartest, best people I know. They challenge me and make me laugh, and I look forward to our gathering each month. I do love […]

I read a lot this month. A lot. And while I’m glad I got to read as much as I did, this end-of-the-month recap overwhelms me a little. I’m afraid most of what I have this month is the general feeling of “liked it” or “didn’t.” I’m going to try something different next month (and […]
