Happy Monday! Can you believe it's the last week of May??! We're zipping into summer territory even if the weather isn't quite consistently summer-like. On Tuesday of last week the temperature soared into the 90s and the sun was shining! And on Sunday the high was 52ºF and it rained all day. Today is expected... Continue Reading →
Spring Side Quests | May 2026
Happy Monday. I hope your weekend was lovely! Matthew was on vacation last week so we were able to take a few side quests, including walking the beach of a local lake (still much too cold for wading) and visiting The Currier Museum of Art. We knew that we'd only have sun on Monday and... Continue Reading →
A Trip to A Beloved Bookstore | A Reading Update
Hello, Monday! I hope you had a lovely weekend. We had a rainy Saturday (which I love) and a partly sunny Sunday here in New Hampshire. Sunday was warm enough in the afternoon to put on a pair of shorts and curl up in a lawn chair with a book, which is a wonderful way... Continue Reading →

A Snowy February
Who else has been watching the Olympics this week? We're not watching as much as we have in the past, but I'm trying to get in a little viewing every day. I've been most excited by Alysa Liu's gold medal performance, so I printed out one of the pictures making the rounds and taped it... Continue Reading →
Mid-February 2026
Welcome! I am happily ensconced in my cozy burrow while writing this post. I haven't checked in with this space in the last couple of weeks but my opening picture says it all: we've all been curled up in piles of books so far this year.

2026 Reading Goals
Well, hello! I can't believe I'm putting together two blog posts in one week - it feels like forever since that's happened. How has this week been for you? It has been downright frigid here in New Hampshire but I do my best to not complain about the cold. I save my complaining for the... Continue Reading →
2025 Reading Review
How has everyone survived the winter storm? Here in New Hampshire, it got frigid and snowed a ton but we didn't lose power or experience any real discomfort. I know that things weren't so easy for many others, so I'm hoping for the best for you. Other than being distracted by the weather, I've been... Continue Reading →
