Happy (almost belated) Father’s Day!

Hoping all the Father’s had a most wonderful day, and got lots of books to read! My Dad is an avid reader and I love buying him new books! The easiest people to shop for are book-readers. At least in my opinion!

I hope your day was full of blessings, and surprises, and all of your loved ones!

Tuesday’s Thought For The Day!

I had to “borrow” this. Even though I have a Nook, I will never give up my books! Actually, I use it to play crossword puzzles on, and get my magazines, so I can save a few trees.

Leo Tolstoy-What Have I Been Missing?

For being the avid reader that I am, I am pretty sure I have never read anything written by Tolstoy. What?!? I know, right? So I have come across a book that is simply titled “Eleven Stories”, and I am loving these short stories. Some are only two pages, some are about 6 pages long. And I am amazed and loving how much this brilliant writer can put into a 2-paged story. I will definitely do a short review of all of these stories, and see if I am ready to tackle one of his lengthier works.
