Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish! I am ridiculously excited to participate in my first “Top Ten Tuesday.” It probably comes as no surprise that I am a voracious reader of book blogs, and I’ve been wanting to join in on the fun for quite some time (learn more about the weekly meme here).

The Move From Print to Film: How “Outlander” Stacks Up So Far
Source I am so excited to share a guest post with you today on a topic that I am very passionate about at the moment: the Outlander television series! I was initially immersed in Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander novels more than two years ago, and although I still have a few books in the queue before I’m all caught up, Claire Randall’s amazing […]
Summertime Happenings
It’s hard to believe that we’re only a little more than a month into summer. Maybe it’s the fact that I’m currently editing magazine articles about pumpkins and fall foliage (my favorites). Luckily I need only walk outside for Arizona to remind me of exactly where we are on the calendar. Nothing screams ’tis the season more than cookies […]
Books in Review: April
Can it really be the fifth month of the year already? No complaints here! May is one of my favorites, and not just because it happens to be the month I was born. The air smells amazing, the sky is brighter and the temperature inside a sun-soaked car feels like a warm blanket rather than a sub-zero freezer or, in the case […]
Books in Review: January
Since I have a fictional page goal this year, I thought it might be fun to do a monthly roundup of the books I’ve read as a way of checking in. Some books – as in anything by Rainbow Rowell – may get separate review posts, but this method will ensure I at least mention […]
Book Reviews: Eleanor & Park, Fangirl and Attachments by Rainbow Rowell
So far, my 15,000-page goal is off to a good start, and I primarily have Rainbow Rowell to thank. When Nicole listed Eleanor & Park as a choice for our December book club, I was really intrigued by the storyline. Although we didn’t ultimately select it, I added it to my ever-growing list of things to read…eventually. Almost […]
Reading Between The Wines: The Girl Who Chased The Moon by Sarah Addison Allen
A few weeks ago the ladies of Reading Between the Wines got together for our July book club meeting at Crystal’s house! Her book selection – The Girl Who Chased The Moon by Sarah Addison Allen – was perfect for summer with featured foods that made planning our dishes a no brainer. But before we […]
Cuckoo For “The Cuckoo’s Calling”
Today I’m excited to share a Guest Bender post from Carolyn Heintz. Carolyn is a nutritionist, mother, and wannabe tap dancer (no, really). She firmly believes in a life based on the written word, health, prevention, and (most importantly!) laughter. After reading Carolyn’s review of The Cuckoo’s Calling, I’m even more excited to pick up the book – […]
