Cross Blog

An introduction to this photo. I have a book blog going where I review the books I read. I mostly find them at the library. This morning I wrote a review for "A is for Alibi" by Sue Grafton. I absolutely love the Alaphabet mysteries. The heroine is Kinsey Millhone. Anyway, what I've been doing lately is to illustrate each review with a picture I take myself rather than snagging one off of the internet all the time. I've been trying to get our cats involved too.

So, Miss Mattie here is one of the rejects. Even though this was a sort of cute situation where she's trying to bite the book mark I'd made and stuck in the book it came out kind of scary looking. But, I still wanted to show her off.

Happy Saturday everybody.

Something I Just Channeled

I don't talk about it much, but I'm always in touch with Spirit. It's like a connection that just is never severed. I'm so used to it now that I don't think about it all the time, but I sometimes pull it all back in and remember to give thanks.

I'm reading a book right now, "Home to Holly Springs" by Jan Karon. It's the first in the Father Timothy novels. It's got to be the 6th or 7th or even 8th that I've read by Jan Karon about Father Tim and Mitford. Anyway, I've mostly been crying through the whole thing, no waiting for the end on this one to let loose. It's a terrific book. I'll write more about it in my book blog, but out of the blue as I was heaving a big ole sigh and wiping my eyes Somebody in Spirit just said to me, "It’s all a prayer no matter what is said just like it’s all a polka no matter where you put your feet."

Where I Read Books

There’s nothing more satisfying to me than reading a book. I’ve had a streak of good luck lately with the ones I’ve been picking up at the library. Back in April of last year I decided to write reviews about the books I read. I can’t say as how they are really good literature or that they would, in any way, make a mark on the book reviewing world, but I’m having fun with them. Maybe over time I’ll get better at it. For now, I think it’s fun to write the reviews. And, since April of 2007? I’ve reviewed 56 books. The blog is Where I Read Books.

When Spirit Whispers

Ha! Made You Look

Right. I got an email today from Alibris. In really big letters that caught my eye immediately it said, “Save $10 if you order today.” Hey, I was toying with the idea of getting a copy of “Finding the Deep River Within” by Abby Seixas. So, I clicked on the link.

You can save $3 on a purchase of $30 or $10 on a purchase of $100. I hate the fine print.
