Downtime

I usually continue to read and post reviews during the holidays, but this year I’m taking a little time to enjoy my family. Instead of working on the blog or reading, I’m wrapping gifts, getting things ready for guests, shopping…well, you know everything the holidays include. Last night, we went to look at Christmas lights […]

Hello!

I love the holidays and spending time with family. Once October is here, it seems that the holidays are right around the corner. I can’t wait! Advertisement Share this: Twitter Facebook Email Pinterest Tumblr Reddit Like this: Like Loading… Related

Happy Super Bowl Sunday…Go Chiefs!

I’ve been a Chiefs fan for over 20 years so this game is as exciting as when the Cubs were in the World Series. I’ve always been a faithful fan to both teams. I grew up as a Cubs fan so I learned early that loyalty is more important than winning, but winning sure is […]

Life Changes

I haven’t been posting as much this past week as I usually do, and that will probably continue until the end of August. I own a store called Sleepygirl’s Furniture & Books and we have decided to close it. I sell books online and we’re currently in the process of pulling those and taking them home […]

Our Reliable Post Office

I have been selling books online at Sleepygirl’s Used Books as well as on some of the big sites, like Amazon, since 1999. In all those years, there have been less than 10 lost packages lost. I think that’s amazing since there are times I have a lot of packages going out. For example, I had […]

Wonderful Wedding Weekend

I should have posted this last week but things got a little busy. You’ve probably noticed that I haven’t posted much the past few days. That’s because my son, Josh,  got married on Saturday! He and his beautiful bride are in the photo below. We are so happy to officially welcome Tina into our family. […]

Before and after photos of our business are here. We found out that day and the months after that we can […]

On my Way to Work

This is not book related at all but I had to share this story. I stopped at the car wash this morning and when it spit out my change, one of the $1 bills flew away. As many of you know, I’m not feeling great right now so there was no way I was going […]

New Blog

When I started this blog almost a year ago I had no clue that there were so many good authors out there who were needing exposure. I started receiving requests for reviews and then I started joining blog tours. I also began receiving request to do cover reveals or book blasts and other media events […]
