Beth Ann Chiles/ North Carolina, Writing/ 13 Comments/ 190

Sometimes dreams do come true and what a wonderful thing it is. For over three years we have been lobbying for a better space for our library in our Connestee Falls community. Letters were written. Emails sent. Requests made at board meetings. The list goes Continue reading →

Another Storm, More Devastation

Beth Ann Chiles/ North Carolina, Writing/ 7 Comments/ 236

I think that it is a pretty normal reaction to get a little bit panicked when a storm is coming and you have already lived through a hurricane. I think it is how our human nature is — if we survive some kind of horrific Continue reading →

Date Night at the Bookstore

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 7 Comments/ 239

Date Night at the Bookstore was fantastic. It’s funny how simple things can bring so much happiness but a night at the bookstore (Highland Books) is the perfect date night. Add in a couple of fun activities and it makes it even better. Leslie and Continue reading →

For The Beauty of the Earth

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 6 Comments/ 253

Do you have a song headache already from that title? It only seemed appropriate as I looked out from what will be our new library space at Connestee Falls on Thursday evening. We had a little meeting to get our library angels (our name for Continue reading →

Oops, I Did It Again!

Beth Ann Chiles/ Books/ 9 Comments/ 276

In the words of Britney Spears – “Oops, I did it again!”. Funny thing is I didn’t plan on it. The other day Chris and I headed to town to mail packages and grab lunch. We ran our errands, ate our lunch and since we Continue reading →

This year I have loved being able to enjoy the sounds of Christmas. Music is my connection to so many things and at Christmas time I am drawn to all of the music that celebrates the season. Chris and I were part of the Mountain Continue reading →

We Are Not Okay

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 12 Comments/ 409

I have been thinking about writing this post for a couple of weeks. I didn’t know if it was one I should actually write and share but today I may just hit that publish button. We will see. A lot of things have happened and 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...

All the Light We Cannot See
by Anthony Doerr
This is quite a book! I had it recommended to me by several people and while I thought it might be a little dark and depressing it made me have a better understanding of what life in this time period was like. The strength of the huma...

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...
