Loafing Around on Teapot Tuesday

Beth Ann Chiles/ Tea and Teapots/ 6 Comments/ 463

Beth Ann Chiles/ Life stories, Travel/ 8 Comments/ 1441

I went down a rabbit hole of sorts today and went back to start rereading when I started this blog in 2008 when we were in Australia. Well, one post led to another to another and before I knew it I was reliving those days Continue reading →

The Good Girl
by Mary Kubica
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...
