a lifestyle blog for book lovers

Happy Friday, readers! What does your weekend hold? We’ve been constantly on the go lately, so I hope to catch up on laundry while I finish this audiobook, shelve the books that are piling up on my desk, and spend some time relaxing at home. I hope you have an enjoyable and productive few days.

Now for some reads and good things to kick off your weekend…

Don’t miss these posts:

Have a great weekend!

    The article about poets makes me both cheer and sad. A whole-hearted yes to living poets (and artists and authors and musicians and scientists!). But why oh why can’t they just use poems to kindle a love of poetry and discussion instead of needing to test and analyze everything and thus take the joy right out of it?

    I have a sick dog at home. Our older Weimaraner, Smokey, has an upper respiratory infection so I’ll be home monitoring and giving meds. It’s almost as bad as having a sick child. He doesn’t whine as much though. I’ll be able to really attack my TBR though.

    My friends and I have joked of starting our own “friend-community” and it seems more appealing now than it did 10 years ago! Love reading all things Jane Austen! Movies versions better than books? I am making my mental list now. And I need to go watch North and South again! So many thought provoking reads going into this weekend. Thanks, Anne!

      Sarepta, I was just thinking about watching North and South again, too. Maybe reading the book first needs to be my policy, because watching the movie first made the book seem kind of heavy. (And really, everything is better with Richard Armitage!)

    My family LOVED the lasagna soup recipe you linked above. SO good. And easy to make. But the link now is not working ??? Any idea where I can find this recipe again?
