Recently, I posted a question in a Facebook Group as well as on my Facebook Page. I thought it would be fun to get your answers too. The question:How do you like to consume the books you read? Print? Audiobook? eBook reader? By far, most of my reading is done via audiobooks (at least 90%), and most of those are via the app on my phone. I love audiobooks! After about 20 years of membership, … [Read more...]
A Mustang Tradition
. Happy 4th of July!!! The holiday for family barbeques and thanking God for the country we live in. Last week, we traveled to the Oklahoma City area to deliver my youngest son to the Air Traffic Control Training Center they have there.

But more about that later. Last year, one arm of my husband’s company began offering historical tours to their supporters. These tours focus on things through the lens of our religious freedom, which is the … [Read more...]

As of yesterday, June 30, Gone with the Wind (the book) is 88 years old! I found a copy in the house that my family rented when I was in fifth grade. I started reading it and just couldn't stop! I so admired Scarlett--and I always joke that I learned how to flirt from reading about her. How she said to look at a man across the room and smile as though you know a secret, then coyly look away . . . … [Read more...]

Booksignings, Bookish Confessions, and Book Giveaways
The last few weeks have been so fun. In addition to our trip to London for study abroad, I've had a couple booksignings. It's been so much fun to connect with readers I've known via social media for awhile -- there's something about meeting in person that's so fun! On Saturday I was at one of my favorite independent bookstores down in Nashville, Indiana. Nashville is a charming little town … [Read more...]

Here are just five of them, in no particular order: Friendships with readers: Whether … [Read more...]
