Kindle Unlimited Creature Feature Mini Reviews

I’ve had my eye on the Creature Feature even before I had my Kindle. So, it was one of the first things I grabbed when I got it. This collection was all over the place. I enjoyed a few of the stories but then there were several I really didn’t like. Let’s talk about it. […]

Book Warehouse Book Haul

Like I mentioned in yesterday’s post we went on vacation to The Smoky Mountains. We used to go there every year when I was growing up, so it’s a comfort destination for me. And one of my favorite stops to make in Pigeon Forge is the Book Warehouse. It’s the first bookstore I ever remember […]

A Smoky Mountains Vacation (Of Course a Bookstore is Involved)

We took a quick, much needed vacation to The Smoky Mountains this weekend. It’s been several years since I’ve been. We used to go twice a year while I was growing up, so it felt amazing to return to a place with so many great memories. Plus, this time I got to take my husband. […]

We’re on our way to the Smokey Mountains this weekend. It’s one of my favorite quick vacation spots when I need to relax. It’s a perfect mix of nature and attractions in my opinion. It’s about a four-hour drive from our house to Pigeon Forge, so I need a few things to make the ride […]
