…because every guy is hotter when he’s reading a good book. This week, I came across a number of attractive fellows online with books. It was really hard to choose! But since I saw Now You See Me last week (and loved it), this particular fellow has been on my mind lately… Read more
Music history fans are gonna love this! I admit that, small town girl that I am, I wasn’t a big punk rock fan as a teenager. Many years later, I have more of an appreciation for it, although it will never be first on my playlist. But PUNK magazine was cool. It was something between a comic book and a music… Read more
I think I have enough new books to post for miles, so I’ll share them with you a few at a time. I have a towering stack here next to the computer, and three more big, fat envelopes that came in while I was gone last week. Heavenly!

One of the great things about books is that you can choose a book to fit your mood. You are not limited to what’s on TV or what is playing at the theater. “Anyway — because we are readers, we don’t have to wait for some communications executive to decide what we should think about next — and how we… Read more
Another absolute truth. Not only are they great resources for books, you can get movies and music and use the computers. I go to a knitting group at my local library, when I’m in town. Lots of libraries have reading groups, classes and movie nights. A library can be the center of cultural life for a family that can’t afford… Read more
Happy Wednesday — it’s time for some new words! You know how this works – share a few words from your current book that you had to look up, then head over to Bermuda Onion’s Weblog to learn some new ones.
