Sunday Salon – February 8, 2009
February 8, 2009 I missed last week’s Sunday Salon. My reading pretty much stalled out in the wake of Caribou’s sudden decline and death and I am slowly getting back into my reading as my heart begins to heal. I completed The Little Giant of Aberdeen County by Tiffany Baker (read my review) earlier this [...]
In Hovering Flight – Book Review

Had her mother somehow been holding her breath, reining herself in, waiting to see how far south, and now how near to this overdeveloped coastline, Scarlet would fly? Had [...]
The Little Giant of Aberdeen County – Book Review

Your words have been an enormous comfort – they remind me that we have all experienced these kinds of devastating losses and survived them. Several people also posted on [...]
Weekly Geeks: 2009-04
Posted by Chris: This week’s Weekly Geek is inspired by Dewey’s Knit-a-Long, a mini challenge of Dewey’s Reading Challenge. Dewey had other passions besides reading and blogging. Knitting was one of them. This made me think, what are the Weekly Geek’s other passions? So this week it is all about sharing other passions and interests… [...]
