I don't have a lot of time. I never do...
The month started with a bang! Actually, many of them.
20 minutes: How long it takes to drive from my house to the border of Washington, DC...7: Number of days I spent on my staycation.
Two weeks. That's my vacation time every summer. Two glorious weeks free of work and calls and stress...Just kidding. That never happens...
Despite what felt like an inordinate amount of rain this May, I refused to be kept indoors!
I tried to keep it a secret, as much as someone can keep things like this a secret...
Baby, it's cold outside. What better way to stay warm and walk off all those Thanksgiving calories than going to the mall? OK, now scratch out "mall" and replace it with "local indie bookstore" because this weekend it's Small Business Saturday AND Indies First. (Insert squeal of joy.)
It's Friday Five time again. Time to review my five favorite bookish articles or stories floating around in the last week or so. This week includes a sampling of stories both serious and fun, ranging from racism in books to book festival mania.
I have two philosophies when it comes to travel. One: Choose one location and delve into all the nuances and quirks of that one place. Two: Visit as many different places in a general location that will reasonably fit into the length of the vacation. Regardless, I make sure to always visit the town's bookstore.
