Good news: I found my Kindle. I’ve been missing it for almost a year. Apparently, I tucked it into a box of paperwork one day when I was in a rush to clean up, and only a recent search for papers turned it up again. So I am traveling with my Kindle again, yay! I [...]

I’m writing on Sunday, because I have a busy day tomorrow, er, today, but I’m guessing my Monday morning will be all about the Game of Thrones finale! I think we won’t be seeing much of Daenerys, unless they want to give us some gratuitous lovemaking shots between her and new screen hunk Daario. I’m [...]

Are you watching Game of Thrones? Are you still in shock this morning? The episode was called The Rains of Castamere, but fans of the books know it as The Red Wedding. And we’ve all been on the edge of our seats waiting to see how it would play out all season. If you haven’t [...]

Another cover grabbed me at the bookstore. Plus, I was tempted by the setting, a grand old Edwardian house. It turned out to be a good beach read, exactly what I wanted. But let’s just observe what a difference a cover makes. I was drawn to this one: But the bottom one was the one [...]

I love cooking/food shows. I follow quite a few, but especially Chopped (my favorite), Master Chef, Hell’s Kitchen, and occasionally Kitchen Nightmares– the last three of which feature the controversial foul-mouthed Gordon Ramsay. Kitchen Nightmares is the hardest to watch, because you see things that make you fear eating out, or even grocery shopping for [...]

In honor of my daughter, who is home for two weeks before moving into her summer apartment and beginning an internship with Atria Books, our reading recommendation this week is poetry, from her favorite poet E. E. Cummings. She’s an English major like her mom. But while I favored 19th and 20th c. British novels, [...]

This weekend is Mother’s Day. I was just reading an article by Anne Lamott on her dislike of Mother’s Day (and Valentine’s Day, but that’s another story). She makes some great points. We’re not all mothers. Why not celebrate your mother, your motherhood, or just your fine self any day? We don’t really need a [...]

Edith Wharton, one of my favorite authors. If you love Downton Abbey and you don’t know Edith Wharton, you are in for a treat. She’s writing about Americans in the same era. Plus, she’s important to women and literary tradition: The Age of Innocence (1920) won the 1921 Pulitzer Prize for literature, making Wharton the first woman to win the [...]

Bragging time! If you can’t stand moms bragging about their kids, now is your time to vacate. We’ll have new, presumably non-braggy content tomorrow. We spent the weekend in New Jersey to celebrate my daughter and her solo performance and chamber orchestra performances in her honors concert. She is a Jill Spurr Titus Honors [...]

The cover drew me in! Once again, I fall for a great cover. And this one didn’t disappoint. Spies, poison, and curses surround her… Is there anyone she can trust? The Kingmaker’s Daughter is the gripping story of the daughters of the man known as the “Kingmaker,” Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick: the most powerful magnate [...]

Another glamorous adventure involving airplanes– I’m in St. Louis. Zebra pants pass for glamor here. (Just kidding, St. Louisians). I chose Tina Fey’s Bossypants for my airplane reading material, forgetting that laughing out loud on a plane might get me singled out as a potential terror suspect. I love Tina Fey and I’ve wanted to [...]

The Dressmaker by Kate Alcott Here’s what drew me to The Dressmaker– the gorgeous cover, the time period (1912, think Downton Abbey and the upcoming Thornbrook Park), and the fact that something about the author photo on the back reminded me of Kathleen Givens (miss her so much). From Goodreads: Just in time for the [...]

Everybody has their something. Me, I write. Some people paint, knit, program, water-ski, or speed read through every romance title released in any given year. All worthy and amazing talents, along with many, many unnamed others. I recently discovered a reader who blew my mind. She designs and sews. As part of her final project [...]

Yeah, you read that right. Menus. I’ve been away from home all week delighting in all kinds of treats that I only allow myself while I’m away (with a few exceptions). Cupcakes. Pastries. Plus, I’ve been walking to work it off, so I say I’m allowed. It’s a working vacation, so not all fun and [...]

Crispin Hawke, a brilliant sculptor, is revered by the ton. His works are celebrated in every fashionable parlor, and tales of his fiery bed skills whispered behind every fashionable fan. Grace Makepeace is determined to wed a titled lord, but her Bostonian bluntness leaves much to be desired among the well-heeled London crowd. To gain their [...]

Today, we’re welcoming a guest Whine Sister, author Mia Marlowe: First, thanks so much for having me here, Whine Sisters. In the spirit of the whine, I’m going to get a beef off my chest. It’s been a while since the DH and I went to see The Hobbit, but I find myself still thinking [...]

Sadly, yes, I’ve had a busy weekend, never got around to choosing a Weekend Read for Friday (sorry!) and the only thing I’ve had time to read this week is the rack of greeting cards at my grocery store, where I selected a card for my husband. Today’s his birthday. There are some pretty funny [...]

Spent the morning writing, editing, and in the back of my mind, trying to come up with something to blog. I’ve got nothing. I blame my Seasonal Affective Disorder. It’s really bad this year. I think it’s worse every year. From the mayoclinic.com: Seasonal affective disorder (also called SAD) is a type of depression that [...]

I’m the one who has the daunting task of keeping all these Whine Sisters in line. I send out the emails to say, “Hey, it’s your day, where’s your blog?” Well, today, I’m pointing the finger at me. You see, sisters? I’m not perfect. So don’t let me pretend otherwise. I slept late, and had [...]
