War of the Rose The Serpent & The Rose; The Golden Rose; The Last Paladin By Kathleen Bryan I enjoyed this series quite a bit. It's got some of your usual fantasy trappings (beautiful noble lady falls in love with common man, knights and magicians and devious...
This Friday Favorite is a little bittersweet. I have been on Goodreads since July of this year (I know, late to the game) but didn't stumble across the Bookswap they host until a few short weeks ago. And I was hooked. It's an awesome setup. You list books you own...
My cousin Erin scanned and posted a bunch of old family photos on Facebook. I had never seen any of these, so it was really cool to look through them - in particular, the ones of my Grandma Lori. I was really young when she died (I think only one or two?), so I don't...

I've been blog-stalking a bunch of stylish and craftsy ladies, and several of them do a What I Wore type post occasionally. These posts are always fun to look through, because it gives insight into a person's style and personality, and also I just like seeing the...
I am starting a new series here on the blog. Every Friday I'm going to highlight an item that I'm absolutely in love with. It could be anything from a piece of jewelry to shoes to a book to a recipe to a website; I may or may not own said item. I'm just trying to...
