Library Lover? This One Is For You!

Beth Ann Chiles/ Books, Travel/ 12 Comments/ 148

Any one who knows me knows that I love books and libraries.  I have been a huge fan of libraries since my younger days when a very kind librarian took me under her wing. Mrs. Chandler made a immature, awkward, shy young girl feel important. Continue reading →

I may have found the perfect volunteer job.  Seriously.  If I counted up all the organizations and volunteer positions I have had over the years I would probably be surprised.  From Navy Relief  Society to PTO to Habitat for Humanity to Meals on Wheels the Continue reading →

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...
