I’m truly feeling the stirrings of wanderlust. Oh, how I miss travel! For me, the next best thing is to escape somewhere in the pages of a book. Our plans for a trip to Paris this year are off so this seems the perfect time to read “Someday in Paris” for the May LWD Book…
LWD Book Club ~ The Enchanted April
It’s April and time for a new book club selection. I suspect most of us are way overdue for a vacation so why not at least visit Italy vicariously via The Enchanted April? Much-loved since it’s publication in 1922, generations have enjoyed this charming story. This post may contain affiliate links and as an Amazon…
LWD Book Club ~ Housekeeping: A Novel
The March selection for the LWD Book Club is an old favorite of mine, Housekeeping: A Novel. It’s been years since I read this book and I’m ready to revisit Fingerbone, Idaho. The eccentric lives of the main characters captured my attention many years ago. This post may contain affiliate links and as an Amazon…
LWD Book Club ~ Tomorrow Will Be Better
Our LWD Book Club selection for February is by the author of one of my all-time favorite books, “A Tree Grows in Brooklyn”. It can be risky to read a lesser-known work by a favorite author – too often it leads to disappointment. But “Tomorrow Will Be Better” is being called a “rediscovered classic” so…
My Favorite Books of 2020
I’m in the process of selecting the books I want to read in 2021 as part of my “syllabus” and I’ll be sharing those soon. But in the meantime I thought I would share my favorite books of 2020. I didn’t read as many books as I would have liked but I think we should…
LWD Book Club ~ The Minimalist Home
Can we all just take a moment to give thanks that 2020 is in the rearview mirror? I’m more than ready for a fresh start and some decluttering, in both a physical and metaphorical sense. For our first LWD Book Club selection of the year, I’ve selected Joshua Becker’s book, The Minimalist Home. This post…
LWD Book Club ~ At Home in Mitford
It’s time for the final LWD Book Club selection for 2020. What a weird year it has been but one thing that remains a constant is the pleasure of a good book. I’ve selected an old favorite, At Home in Mitford, for December. Some books are worth revisiting and this is one of them. This…
LWD Book Club ~ The Victory Garden
We are beginning to get some chilly days and as far as I’m concerned there is no better way to spend a dreary day than snuggled up with a cup of something hot and a good book. I especially love a good read that takes me to another time and place. The Victory Garden sounds…
LWD Book Club ~ Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents
Can someone tell me where September went? It seems to have disappeared — poof! — like a puff of smoke. Here we are on the first day of October and that means a new LWD Book Club selection. This month we will be reading a book my son highly recommended to me. Caste: The Origins…
