October was a very strange month for me. Starting with fighting a bad cold which had me pretty laid up for about two weeks then just as I was getting back on my feet we decided to go to a movie on the Navy base and the next morning I had pink eye. Oh and … Continue reading Out of Sorts

2019 Reading Goals
Here we are back at the turning of the year and new goals to be set. Two years ago I set a goal of 100 books to read for the year and found myself rushing to meet the goal which was not enjoyable. So 2018 I set the goal of only 10 books which I … Continue reading 2019 Reading Goals
2018 Reading Goals Are Set
Happy New Year! To follow up on the previous post for reading goals, I am writing this to get it into my head and continue fleshing out my thoughts on it. 2017 was a huge reading year for me. I read 96 books according to Goodreads. Pretty good considering we traveled quite a bit and … Continue reading 2018 Reading Goals Are Set
2018 Reading Goals
As this year winds down I have been giving some thought to my reading goals for next year. In 2017 my very loose goal, more just a tracking system to keep count, was 100 books and at the moment I am at 89 so I'll be in the 90's by the end of December but … Continue reading 2018 Reading Goals

The last month we have been dealing with some life things and working on plans for the last two months of the year. The … Continue reading End Of The Year
2017 Reading Update

Hmm So I should have made the 50 books statement back in June basically. haha The goal is a … Continue reading 2017 Reading Update
My Bookmarks
After such a rather serious post yesterday, I had a spontaneous thought when glancing at my bookmarks today. I'm very slowly gathering a nice little collection and hope to add to it. Since adulthood I have never turned down or marked inside a book (text books exempt) just because I personally like to keep books … Continue reading My Bookmarks
2016 Year of Reading
2016 has been a year of reading for me mostly because of not being employed and living overseas but also because my love of books has been rekindled. That being said I have also dove into some books the last few months that were not to my taste. I didn't know I really had … Continue reading 2016 Year of Reading
Literally
When I went to post a little sarcastic bit about the word "literally" and how it is used incorrectly SO often I went to Websters.com to make sure I provide the definition, which is just my way if you've seen any other Wacky Wonderful Words posts I have put out. What I found "literally" dumbfounded … Continue reading Literally
