Skim: Sycamore Row

Finally got around to reading "Sycamore Row" by John Grisham. #obsessed #ontheblog #blogpost

Ever reflect on what you wanted to really do with your life?  When I was in high school, I was determined to be a trial attorney.  So I set out and started to read every John Grisham book I could get my hands on.  I wanted so badly to be the attorney in Grisham’s courtrooms, and always have the assistant in my office serve sweet tea in a nice glass pitcher to anyone who came in.  (Grisham’s…

Skim: Summer Reading List

Summer starts Tuesday. Better get my book list ready. #summerreading #blogpost @amazon

Saturday Skim: The Girl on The Train

I couldn't put this one down. @PaulaHWrites, you've done well. Can't wait for the film!

3 days.  Between feedings.  That’s how fast I read this book.  I couldn’t put The Girl on the Train, by Paula Hawkins, down.  I may be way too late in reading this, but I FINALLY had time to devote to a novel, and not personal development books.   But the poor baby.  He may have been in my arms, laying on the boppy pillow, and I may have had the kindle in one hand, him in the other, and I…
