Kathy here ~ Honoré's last post certainly resonated with me…but I have not been nearly so positive about it. In fact, I think I have been a little grumpy about "no time" to work on even small goals I have set for myself. Since the same 24 hour time period exists whether I feel good […]

Honoré here: It is February 3, already the second month of the year ~ 34 days have gone by…imagine! I don't know about you but I, as a member of a league of zillions of people, have made v-e-r-y little, if any progress, on my 2009 goals (smile). But why should I fret and declare […]

Laura here: A friend sent this imaginative quote to me to share with Honoré who suggested I share with all of our readers: "In a library we are surrounded by many hundreds of dear friends, but they are imprisoned by an enchanter in these paper and leathern boxes; and though they know us, and have […]

Honoré here: In my post of December 3, 2008, I toyed with the idea of depriving myself for a week without reading as prescribed by Julia Cameron in her book, The Artist's Way. In that post, I posited that I might just try my hand and I did – last week, December 27 , 2008 […]

Kathy here: My tale of runaway reading last week was only part of the story. You remember that I was swept away with the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer. What you don't know is that Meyer Followers lined up to purchase the final book in the Twilight series, Breaking Dawn, hours before the sales began […]

Kathy here: The peculiar incongruity of my role as "Author Girl" at the Delaware Book Festival is my inability to read in the weeks before and after the event. Oh, I do read titles from our attending authors and rounded out October with Laurie Halse Anderson, Dale Brown, W. Michael & Kathleen Gear, Tess Gerritsen […]

Laura here: This summer my friend needed to buy a book for a mutual friend of ours as a birthday gift. I was in town and we were all getting together to celebrate the last couple of birthdays for our group. The recipient of this book was smart and had listed a specific title: The […]

Honoré here: The other day I pulled out my Christmas decorations, among which are several of my favorite holiday books. One I've had for I bet close to twenty years is Raymond Briggs' Father Christmas. This is a book that my grand-nieces , now 22 , 16, and 7, along with others, have read and enjoyed, […]
