There is something I love so much that it makes me giddy. And it’s not reading. Or knitting. It’s roller skating. I’ve been watching Roller Jam on Max and I’m loving it. On Saturday my granddaughter wanted to go to the rink for her birthday. So yes, I did bounce, rock, skate, roll. If you don’t skate or know the refernce then click here for a little inspiration.

This weekend is jam packed. Before skating I picked out two new pairs of glasses and got them on order and went to lunch with both of my boys and my granddaughter. Tomorrow the birthday celebration contiues, because that’s what Mimi’s do. Also, you only turn 16 once.

Ten Ways My Reading Has Changed Over Time: Over time, my reading habits have changed a lot. I don’t spend as much time reading, and my attention span has shifted.

New Arrivals

A Year of Flowers by Suzanne Woods Fisher. This one is for a Bookstagram Tour with JustReads Publicity Tours. I never thought I’d do anything like this on Insta since I’m not a huge social media person but I was pretty desperate to get my hands on this book. Revell tends to reject me on NetGalley so I had to think of a new way. I have twevle review posts so far on this blog and two are books written by Suzanne Woods Fisher and one collection of short stories – one of which is hers. Can you guess who my favorite author is?
