Reading now........



I really love this book, it is so enchanting to read about Queen Elizabeth II as young child, into pre-teen and young woman.

Cuppa and a good book......

Dodie Smith has written a "gem". The young girl in this book is a very intriguing,and entertaining story teller. The book is about an extended family and how they triumph over hardships while living in part of a 300 year old Castle during the early to mid part of the 20th Century. I have noticed this is also out on DVD and may watch it after reading the book. I think the scenery would be enchanting.

Starbucks Cheese Danish with a Cuppa!!!! And, my $8.00 (not so thrifted in my opinion) bread box...that I would still rather see painted with a cute little glass knob someday. It has came in quite handy though. At first I placed the normal, bread, english muffins, etc. packaged in there and one day a light bulb went off!!! It is the purrrrrfect size to hold my many little cans of "fancy feast". So now, they have their own home and frankly, I actually use it and I'm in and out of it more often and isn't that the point!

Reading now.....

I am hoping to finish this book sometime this weekend. What a perfect day for a mystery!!! (rainy and damp, a little gray outside).  I found a new Author, Victoria Thompson and her "Murder on..... books are from a series that dubs a "Gaslight Mystery". Very good, fast reading and they all have two main characters, Detective Malloy and his side-kick Sarah whom is a Midwife. I admit that I have not had much time for reading lately, but slowly in the evening I try to fit one in here and there. After this, the next is "Murder on Lexington Avenue".

Reading now.......

I love this book.......It has everything from A - Z. Style, dressing for certain occasions (especially if you are in question of what the attire should be) and accessorizing.  It is "chock" full of information on Parisian Style, with web sites included for shopping on line if you have the means to do so. Tips on giving flowers to storage and "flat" decorating. Good read, and pretty fast - easy to skip over subjects of no interest.

Reading now.........

I just finished reading "The Violets of March"....Written by Sarah Jio. Very good, very Seattle. This book has everything I love. A family mystery about long lost love, near the Ocean.
Just started reading......A Greenwich Village apartment, a young writer and her roommate writer, that happens to be a "ghost". I was hoping the ghost was from the 1800's, (and so was she). But he is from the 1970's and has never heard of a lot of things we have now which interesting to think about.

Whistling Dixie....

I came upon this book as I was leaving the library one afternoon, just by chance. It has everything I love. Southern roots, with a twist of living on the East Coast. A great "Summer Read".

What I'm Reading Now.............

I love to read Luanne Rice. Any of her book's would be great "beach reads". Most of what I have learned about the ocean, I have learned from reading her books."Most" of what I know, I have been known to read "True Life" lost at sea books, that were very captivating. Luanne Rice is a very detailed and colorful story teller.
