Our staycation is nearly over, but it has been so much fun! We spent time at the Museum of Aviation at Robins AFB, the Atlanta Zoo, and the Fernbank Museum, but we also spent a lot of time reading good books - I think I finished 4 this week! The trip to the Museum of … Continue reading This Week: May 18th
With all the talk about tariffs and political nonsense, I've found myself retreating more and more into my books lately - how about you? We've had a great selection of books this month, too - none have rated less than 3 stars yet, with several 5-star selections! This week, we've got three great books to … Continue reading This Week: April 6th
The Krank family is doing Christmas a little differently this year. Luther and Nora’s only child just left for the Peace Corps overseas and they just aren’t in the mood to do the big commercial Christmas. Instead of buying all the expense gifts and attending all the fancy parties, they are saving their money for … Continue reading Skipping Christmas

With a heat wave hitting most of the country, it's a great time to find a spot inside to chill out with a good book and a cold drink. But if you're heading out on vacation, we have books for you this week, too! … Continue reading This Week: June 23rd

The American Tolkien Society first declared September 22nd as Hobbit Day in 1978 in honor of Tolkien's most well-known characters. I love the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings books - they are the ones that made commit to reading the books before seeing the movies because of how different they are.
