I made it up to the Book Mark yesterday for the beginning of the annual Book Mark Sale. If you can’t find anything there that you haven’t read, then you need to take a break from reading and go out and see the country side a little more.
I have posted photos of the new addition [...]

They were all set up for Mother’s day and had a goody sampler tray out which I did indeed [...]

Hal sent me an email the other day and said he now has all of his shelves in the new addition. Since I had access to a car today, I drove up to Dolega. When I got there, I saw that Dolega was having its own celebration. Traffic slowed down but luckily it didn’t stop. [...]

One of my favorite authors (John Grisham) has a new book coming out on October 10. This book is a non-fiction book and is described as exploring a small town justice gone awry. Since it takes place in southeast Oklahoma around Ada, it will go on my “Must Be Read” list. I wonder who I [...]

Among the things I did the last two weeks in Panama City was to visit three of my favorite authors.
The first book I read was “A Time To Kill” by John Grisham. John is one of my favorite authors and this was his first book. I have yet to read one of his books that [...]
