About two girls and their growth into woman hood and the paths down which their choices lead them. Kristen Hannah has surpassed herself with this one. The characters, the…

I'm a mom living in Virginia, enjoying chronicling my various escapes with the kids and around the kitchen. I believe being a mom involves a balance of holding on and letting go. And since being a mom is a 24/7 job, cooking though essential, needs to be as easy as can be. So peruse my blog for various experiences in parenting and experiments in cooking.
Sailing to Capri
A most pathetic book that I’ve persevered through in ages. So much could have been done with the characters and story. And yet it was just Blah ! I thought at least the ending would have been imaginative, yet as the murderer was easily figured out as soon as the character is introduced. I’d stay away from this one as…
It Feels Right !
How Does one decide things? You get up in the morning, open your cupboard and think ” Hmm ! This is what I’ll wear today. ” A look is chosen. You go shopping, search for something for days, months even and then see something that seems perfect in your budget and think ” That’s what I want. ” A thing…
Smoke Screen
After speaking glowingly about Brown in my earlier posts, I was bitterly dissappointed as I went through the pages in the beginning. The book is about a woman falsely ( supposedly ) accused of murdering an ex lover and how her situation bears uncanny resemblance to an incident a couple of years back. The suspect in that episode is the…

Thoughts in A Day
** We were passing a cross-section. As we approached the signal, I saw a man standing with a piece of cardboard held high above his head. As we got closer I read the markings to read, ” God is Great !!! Willing to lease self for work. ” Begging is not new to me nor are solicitors. But that a…

Random Rants
I’m in the dumps. Not literally !! Need a change, don’t know what. Maybe I just need to help myself. I feel like something’s missing even though I know I’m perfectly happy. Is that even possible ? The other day i was watching Nat Geo and this scientist was talking about Sting Ray. For those who don’t know it’s a…
The Crush
Since I read ” Breath of a Scandal “, I’ve become a fan of Sandra Brown. She always guarantees me a decent read no matter what the story. These days, as I plow through books, I often find myself dissappointed or just plain bored after the first few pages. Or I end up having a headache with some of the…
