Saturday, May 4, 2013. Review: Little Princes: One Man's Promise to Bring Home the Lost Children of Nepal (audio). Little Princes: One Man's Promise to Bring Home the. Lost Children of Nepal. 9 hrs and 37 mins. I'm really enjoying Little Princes. If the author can shake things up in his quiet yet driven way, the rest of us can surely make a difference in our own small way too. I won't forget this book for a long time, and I'm sure I'll be listening to it again soon. The author of Little Princes. Detectiv...

stepacross: Review: A Game Of Thrones (audiobook)
http://stepacross.blogspot.com/2012/01/review-game-of-thrones-audiobook.html
Thursday, January 12, 2012. Review: A Game Of Thrones (audiobook). Title: A Game of Thrones. Author: George R.R. Martin. Audio Length: 33 hours, 50 mins. The winter is coming! This story reads very much like historical fiction because the details are very accurate to what could have happened in the the middle ages in Britain. However, the magical parts add another level which is fascinating with the inclusion of dragons, the undead, the children of the forest, the trees with faces, and the dark magic.

stepacross: Sunday Salon
http://stepacross.blogspot.com/2012/07/sunday-salon.html
Sunday, July 29, 2012. I plan to continue this for a year and then see what happens. I love being able to know what I have in my closet. I read The Power of Habit. I can't believe it - in just a little over a week I had stopped biting and now it's been about 6 weeks. I get manicures to encourage me to continue and I think it helps to strengthen the nails. But I'm really happy not to have to spend a lot of money on nail tips. Have a great Sunday! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Sarah Reads Too Much.

Wednesday, January 18, 2012. Review: The Night Circus (audiobook). Title: The Night Circus (audiobook). Audio Length: 13 hrs, 39 mins. My rating: 4.5/5. Which is a book whose characters are part of the circus, so I figured another book about the circus would be of interest to me. However,. Is completely different. It is a magical, lyrical, and imaginative work with all the characters completely engrossed, enmeshed, and consumed by the circus called Le Cirque des Reves. Thursday, January 12, 2012. This st...

Myriad Musings: September 2011
http://lauramariemusings.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Books Recipes. Life Tidbits. Funnies (or funny to me). Love. Laughter. Stories. Just me. Sunday, September 25, 2011. Road Trip, Solo Style. This past week I hit the road and drove to Nebraska. A seven-hour drive to Lincoln, mostly through the fields of rural Iowa doesn't necessarily sound like the greatest time, but I learned something about myself on the way. When I'm really tired and really stressed out, a nice quiet drive with just me and an audio book does the trick. A year after 12-year-old Alyssa M...

Books Recipes. Life Tidbits. Funnies (or funny to me). Love. Laughter. Stories. Just me. Saturday, April 13, 2013. Finding the right words, finding the right space. So, the last time I posted to this blog was July 21, 2012. A lot has happened since then. That was shortly before I interviewed for my current job. That alone has been a huge (and wonderful) change. And, it's a pretty big space. Let me share because I invite you to connect with me there while I figure this all out:. Well, then we are probably...
