Life is Good

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 18 Comments/ 428

Life in the mountains is good. Very good. We have had rain storms almost every day lately but I don’t even mind those one bit. Just means I don’t have to water my plants (the ones that the deer have left alone, that is). The Continue reading →

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 14 Comments/ 453

It seems that I am surrounded by Girl Power these days. Our book club discussed Lessons in Chemistry this week by Bonnie Garmus. It’s a book about a strong female protagonist who has to fight her way in a male dominated world. It was actually Continue reading →

I loved this book! It had my interest from the very first page and was my "airplane" book on a recent trip. Author Mary Kubica created believable and interesting characters that the reader learned to identify with and care about. Mi...

An Abundance of Katherines
by John Green
Another great book by John Green. I have become a huge fan of John Green since my reading of A Fault in our Stars and this book was another that did not disappoint me at all. It was a story of a child prodigy, a lot of anagrams, and a b...
