Good Read, Good Mood

Don't you just love a good book!

I was never much of a reader.
I didn't like reading books for school and I didn't like reading books for fun.
But somewhere between college and marriage I found a love for books.

That love for books is a bit of a roller coaster, though.
I will read and read and read for a couple months and then take a break.
Part of the need for a break is finding the right book; a good book.
One that will get you excited to sit down and read.
One that makes you look forward to quiet time.  Yah, what's that?!  :)

Well I just finished a great read.
Garden Spells  by Sarah Addison Allen


Now, there is a couple of instances where they curse, but for pete's sake, I hear those same words while grocery shopping. 
I can get past it. 

I could tell you to go read this book until I'm blue in the face but that doesn't mean you will.
So what I'm gonna do for you is buy it.
That's right, Christmas comes early on Craft Tales.

Here's the skinny: Leave me a comment.  Don't email me.  Leave me a comment, please.
Take the time to create a profile and leave me a comment.
I will randomly choose a winner on Friday.
Super easy, super simple, super cool.

In your comment tell me a little something about you.
Do you love to cook?  Is your favorite hobby ice skating?  Have you ever bungee jumped? (I HAVE!)

Ready.
Set.
Comment!

Thanks for the recommendation! I haven't been reading books lately, but I have been listening to them. Rochester Public Library has the audio version available for download! So please don't include me in the drawing. I'll have to let you know what I think when I am done listening.

Iuse to read alot until I had kids then I read ' Little Golden Books" After they out grew those - I was too busy to read very much. Then I had grandkids and statred reading kids books again. Read more kids books for gandkids.I remember one book Sarah &
Ryan liked. It was Ragady Ann and Ragady Andy.There was one page about friends and a question" Do you have a friend." They both would sit there and shake there head yes.
After Sarah & yan moved away Michael & Matthew came along and back to reading little kids books again. Each had a favorite.
I loved those years!!!

Now that's one way to stir up some comments! Especially sarcastic ones from that silly Matt guy. ;o)

I found out I can download the book for free onto Austin's Nook, so I don't need to be entered in the drawing either, but I read the synopsis online and it sounds really good!

Now for something about me...I made a disastrous batch of white chocolate chip macadamia nut cookies yesterday afternoon, gave a half of one to Lincoln against my better judgement and paid for it with projectile vomiting a few hours later. :op

haha @ matt :)

I'm always looking for good books, so I love your recommendations. My grandma and I share books and I'm sure she would enjoy it as well!

Something about me... I make cakes :) I've never bunjee jumped, but I would love to skydive someday!

October things...

Image
It has not been the easiest October on record. Kate had a couple of hospital visits to Rochester but she is somewhat better at the moment. She continues with chemotherapy and has not been back to school for quite some time but she is doing her best to set aside time for online school work between naps, loving on cats, and hanging out with her family. I was able to get the girls to visit their great grandma in western Iowa a few weeks back. Here's Claudia shortly after arriving at great grandma's house. She is very into jewelry and lots of it. Grandma had several questions for her about the number of bracelets and thankfully Claudia loves talking about them. Many she has made, some were gifted to her...it's a lovely hodgepodge of middle school girl goodies. Clearly the girls and I were blessed with height genes from relatives not named great grandma. We spent time relaxing, taking four wheeler rides, eating candy and we also received a visit from my aunt and uncle. Aunt Deb ...

March Madness 2024...

Let's talk brackets. I love a good competition. I love to win. But when I don't win I can typically move on quite quickly from a loss (unless we are specifically talking about Big Six Swim Offs, but I digress.) We have a family group on ESPN for the men's NCAA basketball tournament and it's "high stakes" with no entry fee, a chocolate rabbit for the winner and most importantly bragging rights. While I've never won, nor have I ever been close to winning, I thought I'd share my rationale for my picks through the first round of play. You should not follow this advice but if you so choose to, don't blame me when you too lose out to a cat with it's own bracket. East Region UConn 1 v Stetson 16: This is a silly way to start because it's a 16 v a 1 seed and clearly we know the very likely outcome of this game. But if I could, I'd choose Stetson cologne over a Huskie dog because Huskies kind of scare me a little. Regardless I am going with the ...

The dark day of June 27th...

 June 12, 2023 We typically don't share a lot of updates about Kate's health, primarily because she wants to remain "a normal teenager." However, we still get asked how Kate is doing and I started thinking maybe it's okay to share updates now and again. Most people care about her and our family, some others could maybe be labeled as "tragedy junkies," but I'm going to operate under the assumption that most people have the best of intentions.  Today is June 12th and we are quickly approaching the dreaded dark day of June 27th. Have you watched, "Gilmore Girls?" It's a witty, comforting television show from the early 2000's. In it one of the main characters has what is dubbed, "a dark day." This is a day the character dreads each year and in response he goes into hiding from the world with no communication. Well for Kate, and the rest of us to some degree, the dark day of the year is June 27th and that date is closing in on ...
