What’s keeping you entertained these days? I’d love to know!

These days I am especially thankful for books. ♥

I would gladly drink my coffee from this. :)

“I blame the beginning of the whole thing on Jane Austen.”

The first sentence of Light Changes Everything, a newish novel of historical fiction by Nancy E. Turner, totally hooked me, and the rest of the story reeled me in, all the way to the glorious conclusion. I’d love to share the closing lines, which are beautiful and soul-satisfying and perfect, but I won’t, because I think you should read this marvelous book. :)

I love the cover, too!

More about Nancy E. Turner here.

Or bookish coziness! Regardless, something pretty and peaceful to look at. ♥

A new word for me. Tsundoku:

Buying books and not reading them; letting books pile up unread on shelves or floors or nightstands.

Can I relate? Big-time! You?

By the way, did you notice the title of the book she’s reading? ;)

Tomorrow! I’ll be a guest host at the Romance of Reading group on Facebook!

I’m in some amazing company!

It’s one of the nicest and most interesting groups around, and I’m looking forward to some fun bookish chat and some lovely giveaways I’ve got planned. Stop by if you can. Not a member? Ask to join. Their admins are speedy-quick. :)

Oh, and here’s a quick glimpse of one of my giveaways . . .

All four books in my Penhallow Dynasty series!

See you tomorrow, I hope!

Yes indeed — that’s reading! ♥

Not to brag, but I’m a black belt too. :)
