I’m working on another post I hope to have up soon – Sasquatch related 🙂 – but I realized it is Banned Books Friday and I am actually going to make it on time this week. 😉 As I’ve been reading for a few different projects and it’s been the week from Hale, I only… Read more

This week, I have several books to discuss, one of them from our banned books project and the others just several good ones I haven’t gotten a chance to share. First, for this week’s banned book – my plan was to read Hemingway’s For Whom the Bell Tolls, but, in the chaos of my plague and… Read more

This week’s Banned Book Friday post is a bit behind – like most everything has been with my pneumonia days – but here we are now, with both of this week’s books rereads from my school days – Toni Morrison’s Song of Solomon and Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird. First, I remember reading Morrison’s Song… Read more

This week, as I’ve been ill and also reading for some other projects I’m stoked about, my one banned book is Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood – and, oh my word, do I have thoughts. This work, called a non-fiction novel, the first of its kind, tells the agonizing story of the murders of Herb, Bonnie,… Read more

This week’s Banned Book reading has been pleasurable all around. First, I finished J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings Trilogy with The Two Towers and The Return of the King. I know I’m repeating myself from last week but this series is one I wish everyone would read: if you haven’t read LOTR, please consider adding it… Read more

This has been an extra puny week – even by my usual spoonie standards – but I have some happy things to share this Banned Books Friday. In what will hopefully be a two post day, first, I’ll pass along the report on this week’s banned book reading. Then, later this evening, I plan to… Read more

As I shared in my post early this morning, this week has been a gnarly one with spoonie issues. However, it is also Banned Books Friday – and I have been trying to write a regular book report all week as well – so it is time to leave the sickness discussions behind for awhile… Read more

This week’s Banned Books Friday is different for sure. My hold on Nabokov’s Lolita came up at the library – so it was this week’s first read. I have not read it before. Like most of us, I am familiar with the subject matter, a adult with sexual attraction to teenaged girls. Beyond that, I did… Read more

This week, for our Banned Books Friday report – actually being written on Friday, stop the presses 😉 – I revisited two books on our list that I read when I was much younger – Zora Neale Hurston’s Their Eyes Were Watching God and John Knowles’s A Separate Peace. Though they are completely different – and we… Read more

The past week has been filled with my wonderful husband’s birthday, book club with my favorite ladies, and an overdue day trip to visit our sweet family at the lake. It was such a lovely week – though having a busy one during a flare has left me bone tired I must say. All is… Read more
