Book Treats

Santa is getting ready to come to town. And as I am Santa…I decided that I earned some extra treats for all my hard work.

PB and Jellybean are both getting books for Christmas this year as they are both becoming quite the book lovers. PB even leveled up this year with adding reading glasses to help her accuracy. So Mom deserves some new books as well.

I picked up three fiction books: Wedding People by Alison Espach, A Good Girls Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson and The Life Possible by Matt Haig. I think I will pick one out for a Christmas break read…

Happy Reading!!

Falling in Love with Blossom Street

I am now the proud owner of a library card! I have been meaning to get one since I finished graduate school and I lost access to the campus library. No excuse for taking this long but I digress!

The husband took me and we had a date night last week browsing the stacks. My taste leans towards murder mystery and fiction whereas the husband likes sci-fi and non-fiction. Browsing the electronic catalog I found the Blossom Street series by Debbie Macomber via a keyword search for knitting.

I’m addicted. No seriously, I have read the first seven novels in the series in the past two weeks. When I can lose myself in a good book I can devour them. These fiction novels start out about knitting and friendship but as the series progresses they cover so much more: life, death, love, heartbreak, change, illness, and so many more. I have laughed, cried, giggled, gasped, and fallen in love with all the characters. I love how she keeps introducing new characters and relationships but they are always connected back to Blossom Street and original story. I highly recommend this series to all fiction lovers!!

Having access to such a huge library is awesome and I can’t wait too see what other treasures it holds!

Happy Tuesday!!
