It's been eventful. I finally got my grocery shopping done this morning, which is why I wasn't here this morning. We went to my favorite store - Hy-Vee. After Hy-Vee we went to Fleet Farm. I know most of you aren't familiar with...

It's been a long while since I posted a book review on here but I had to share this one. I won't post the book's synopsis, just my review. ~~~~ I pick up a holiday read expecting a Christmas romance. And yes, there is romance,...

2,000 step walk...

Stacey @xstitcher (36959) • Petaluma, California 24 Nov

I went for a 2,000 step walk, and wound up going a little over. I've tried to make a couple of phone calls, and haven't gotten through to anyone. Come to think of it, I need to make one more phone call--I've only managed to...

Do you have any Ladybird books ? They are worth a fortune apparently !,

Traceyjayne @Traceyjayne (6724) • United Kingdom 13 Nov

So, before I go any further , let’s get this straight. I don’t mean books about Ladybirds, as in the little creatures. I mean books published by the company called Ladybird. Right, now that’s cleared up, let’s get on with things...

Hello again, myLot!

Stacey @xstitcher (36959) • Petaluma, California 7 Nov

I got to the library about a half hour before it opened, and I waited until it did. While I was there, about thirty other people showed up to wait, 1-3 at a time, some of them children with their parents. I really like to see...

Good night, myLot!

Stacey @xstitcher (36959) • Petaluma, California 6 Nov

I'm going to say good night and shut down the computer. Again, I've gotten caught up in what I was doing, and not watching the time. I'm feeling a bit better; tomorrow I will take more cough medicine, as it's an "every 12...

They're both ready

Stacey @xstitcher (36959) • Petaluma, California 6 Nov

I looked at the Library website, and both of the books that I "ordered" are finally on hold at the library for me. Tomorrow I'll head over there and get them, and in the same trip return the books that I've finished. That way,...

I made my goal...

Stacey @xstitcher (36959) • Petaluma, California 6 Nov

I had forgotten to "up" my reading goal. I went to Amazon GoodReads because I realized that I hadn't updated my progress on a book that I'm reading, and saw when I got to my page that I hadn't recorded finishing a book. No...

Books: Will we ever stop using physical books?

Anne Perry @eli908640 (37) 29 Oct

I did a quick online search on stats about whether or not we will ever stop using physical books. I was astonished by the answers. To summarize, it turns out that by 2050, 90%+ of reading will be digital for efficiency. But...

Would you pay more for an autographed book?

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (48392) • Staten Island, New York 23 Oct

Melania Trump’s memoir in hardcover is sold for $40. On her website there is a signed hardcover of her memoir being sold for $150. I am assuming it’s exactly the same book and it’s just autographed inside. That’s $110 more for a...

Hello, all! It's Sonday, so I'll be heading to church in an hour and a half. When I get home, I'll rest up for whatever craziness comes up this week. I looked at the library website, but the two books that I have on hold are...

Loretta @noni1959 (11493) • United States 16 Oct

The Christian thrift store in town sells books five for a dollar, and about once a week I find three to five that catch my eye. This week I found, "The Original Fannie Farmer 1896 Cook Book", from The Boston Cooking School. What...

Went to the store for nothing

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (48392) • Staten Island, New York 26 Sep

There was a particular poetry book that I wanted to get—A Magnificently Ordinary Romance by Celia Martinez. I did not want to pay $6.99 shipping to order it from Barnes & Noble so I went to the store. Before going there I...

Reading goal update

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (48392) • Staten Island, New York 22 Sep

My reading goal for this year was 77 books, though I was hoping to get to 80. So far I have read only 36 books. I am 47% there. I very much doubt that I will reach my goal this year but that’s ok. Reading as many books as I...

Diving Back Into Reading

IvySaysHi @IvySaysHi (4603) • United States 12 Sep

I really miss the way I used to devour literature. I could finish multiple books in a week. Now I'm lucky to be able to sit down and start reading for pleasure. I'm not sure where I started slowing down with it, but boy do I miss...
