Books on my nightstand

March 4, 2025 By Tamera Alexander

Here are three books I'm currently reading and would highly recommend. And get ready, because I'd love to know what's on your nightstand and if you're enjoying the read! #1 You might already know I'm a fan of Kristi McLelland's Bible studies and teachings.

February 18, 2025 By Tamera Alexander

Bookish Goodies Under the Tree

January 2, 2025 By Karen Witemeyer

Did any of you get books or book-themed items under the tree this year? I ended up with a great assortment of fun, bookish gifts. My son and newest daughter-in-law gave me a gorgeous nativity snow globe whose base is a stack of books. Love it! My daughter gave me a new board game called Illiterati - a cooperative game where our team of librarians work together to save the world from … [Read more...]
