It's Election Day here in the States my friends... so please, if you're of age and able to do so, get out and vote! Yes, it's a right to vote, but it's also our duty to get the right leaders elected to lead our country. Even more so, I'm calling on my Christian brothers and … Continue reading Vote, but More Importantly… Pray
My Blogging Journey
Blogging is something that I've come to really enjoy over the years... to the point where I wish I had started doing it earlier in my life. Of course, I'd guess blogging since 2009 is considered a long time to most people. I wasn't a consistent blogger in the beginning. I really only wrote when … Continue reading My Blogging Journey
Halloween 2016
I'm not a big fan of Halloween, but I admit that dressing up can be fun... as long as the costume is within reason. I stopped dressing up and going out for Halloween when I was ten, but in recent years have dressed up either for work or handing out candy. This year, it's both. … Continue reading Halloween 2016
Recent Reads [October 2016]
October has passed with my nose essentially stuck in book after book. I'm not saying I read a crazy amount of books this month, but I was able to cross four of them off my reading list. The first three books I read were part of a trilogy by James Dashner - The Mortality Doctrine series. … Continue reading Recent Reads [October 2016]
Bookworm Problems (v. 1)
I often finds things related to being a bookworm that can be sort of a problem. Most of the time it's little things that others might not understand if they're not a bookworm themselves. However, I know plenty of people who love to read and I'm sure they, and many others, can sympathize with these … Continue reading Bookworm Problems (v. 1)
Libraries Are Important
I’ve heard from time to time people saying that libraries are becoming a thing of the past; that eventually they won’t be around anymore. Why should we keep funding them? Well, first of all... because I work at one (wink). Also, libraries are important. Libraries aren’t just for checking out books and reading them… I … Continue reading Libraries Are Important
Our Fur Babies
It's been three years too long since my mom and I have had cats. We planned on getting them last year when we moved into our current home because cats are allowed there, but we never ended up getting them. Finally, a few weeks before we took our Vermont vacation my cousin told us about … Continue reading Our Fur Babies
33 Things That Make Me Happy
I've seen a few other bloggers do this sort of post as part of a tag or the #100daysofhappy and it just seems like an encouraging thing to do. Even if it's not directly encouraging toward the readers, it still throws out some positivity into the world. I like that. So today I'm going to … Continue reading 33 Things That Make Me Happy
Library Lovers Tag
1. How often do you visit your local library? Technically 5 days a week... since I work there and all. But I visit ones just outside of town once every few weeks. 2. Are you the type of person who checks out more books than you know you can read or are you someone who … Continue reading Library Lovers Tag
This Is Where It Ends [book review]
An auditorium packed full of students and teachers... and one of them has a gun. When picking up this book, I expected nothing less than to be on the edge of my seat and moved to tears while I read it. Unfortunately, this book was not as moving as I thought it would be. While … Continue reading This Is Where It Ends [book review]
5 Reasons I Would Delete Facebook (and the one reason I haven’t)
Social media has become an essential in our lives. Almost everyone has some sort of social meda profile, whether it's Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram or a blog (I happen to have all listed). It's the only way we connect with each other these days. Seldom do we actually call people or make weekly meet-ups a … Continue reading 5 Reasons I Would Delete Facebook (and the one reason I haven’t)
I Work at a Public Library [book review]
Working in a library sounds like a pretty chill job, right? It’s quiet, you make some small talk about the books people are checking out and you get to sit in a chair when you’re not shelving books. That couldn’t be more wrong. The author of this book, Gina Sheridan, has been a librarian for … Continue reading I Work at a Public Library [book review]
Goodbyes Are Hard
Today I say goodbye to someone who might've been short, but held a big place in my heart. Last Sunday, September 11th, my grandma left this world - called home by God to be with Him and all of her family that went before her. It was also her 80th birthday. I've lost people before … Continue reading Goodbyes Are Hard
