Theading Roughts: October 2014
http://theadingroughts.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 30, 2014. Ramble: The Perfect Book for October. October is the perfect time for creepy, chilling, shivering stories. And a dear friend gave me the most perfect book. Men, Women and Ghosts. Published in 1914, Lowell wrote this book in half-poetry, half-prose. Lowell was famous during her time. She won the 1925 Pulitzer Prize for a collection of Poetry, and she was much revered for her work. I'm eager to curl up with this fine work - but I'm saving it for a dark and stormy night. As with ...

Theading Roughts: April 2015
http://theadingroughts.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 30, 2015. Ramble: Books on Tape. I drove nearly 1900 miles over this past week, two of those days, over 600 miles. On the way down to Florida, I "read" Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Via book on CD. It was my first experience with an audio book. Oh, boy, did it make a difference. The trip went so fast. But I finished the book on the way down. So, I purchased The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie. Thursday, April 23, 2015. Over all, this is an okay collection but nothing special.

Thursday, August 13, 2015. Ramble: 31 Books in 31 Days. I've set for myself a challenge, a test, not for anything other than to see if I can. Read a book a day for the entire month of August.

Here are my rules:. 1 I must finished one book a day. No reading ahead. 2 No more than 10 children's books. Review: The F...
