The Missing Book

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 3 Comments/ 66

Beth Ann Chiles/ Tea and Teapots/ 15 Comments/ 3592

I might have to admit that I have a few too many teapots. I have some packed up and stored and a lot on display all over the house. I have thought many times about getting rid of some and I will, but just not Continue reading →

Wouldn’t It Be Wonderful?

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 4 Comments/ 93

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if everyone could get along ? Wouldn’t it be wonderful if everyone had a warm, dry, safe place to live? Wouldn’t it be wonderful if there were no hungry bellies? Wouldn’t it be wonderful if everyone who needed medical help or Continue reading →

Christmas Additions on Teapot Tuesday

Beth Ann Chiles/ Tea and Teapots/ 7 Comments/ 119

I am just now getting my post Christmas life in gear. It takes awhile. I put away the few gifts I had received (it’s a good thing to downsize in that area) and realized that I did get a couple of great tea related gifts Continue reading →

When You Find Out You Are A Liar

Beth Ann Chiles/ Humor, Writing/ 11 Comments/ 148

Focus Word for the Year

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 8 Comments/ 180

Old Girls in Low Cotton
by Helen Childress
This short book was one that looked like it would be a fun read. I honestly did not enjoy it all that much---it was a lot of characters bickering and while some of the writing was witty and funny it was not that kind of book that made m...

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...

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...
