Every time we visit New Orleans I have to buy at least a couple of books at my favorite book store – Faulkner House Books. This month’s LWD Book Club selection, Our Country Friends, was one of my purchases on our most recent trip. The story of a group of friends gathering together to wait…
LWD Book Club ~ The Willing Widow
I don’t read a lot of romance books but I make an exception for historical romance set in my favorite city, New Orleans. It’s been ages since I’ve indulged in this (not-so) guilty pleasure. Since we’ve just had a vacation there if feels like the perfect time for The Willing Widow, the first in a…
LWD Book Club ~ The Art of Nonconformity
For our LWD April Book Club selection I thought we’d change things up a bit. How about a non-fiction book this time around? I’m feeling the need to shake things up in my own life and maybe you’re experiencing the same urge. Let’s see what we can learn from The Art of Non-Conformity: Set Your…

My Favorite Books of 2021
I love to hear about other’s favorite reads so I figure I should return the favor. I set out to read 50 books last year but only managed 32. Still, considering that the average number of books read per year by Americans is 12, I suppose that’s not too bad. Here are my favorite books…

LWD Book Club ~ Moonlight on the Thames
It’s December and I think that calls for a book with a Christmas theme. Moonlight on the Thames is a book I’ve had in my Kindle library quite awhile and it sounds like a great choice for the December LWD Book Club selection. This post may contain affiliate links and as an Amazon Associate I…
