Discussion Post: What Inspires You?

I know you've heard me cry about how hard discussion posts are for me. Hey, I'm a reader, not a writer, but I'm trying. What I have been wondering about lately is how do you come up with your discussion topics.

Top Ten Tuesday: Iconic Performances of the 2000s

Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week's topic is...

Iconic Performances of the 2000s!

My mother is always amused by my description of 2000s movies/characters/songs as Iconic, so she suggested this topic. While the fashion choices of the 2000s were possibly questionable (I mean, I kind of love it and hate it at the same time), this period was filled with incredible, Iconic performances. While there are many Iconic performances of the time, I've chosen ten of my favorites to share below (in no particular order). Shoutout to 2004 for having so many Iconic performances.

In a Nutshell Reviews - The Broken Hearts Edition

In a Nutshell Reviews are my version of mini-reviews, because sometimes, you just want the highlights. I am calling this one "the broken hearts edition", because each of the narrators in these three books had their hearts broken. They all dealt with this heartache in very different ways, but in the end, they gained some clarity and insight into themselves.

My Week in Review

I have been so busy preparing for my daughter's move to Chicago, and am therefore really grateful for this three-day weekend. I have little plans, other than trying to do some last minute packing. We will be driving on Thursday and Friday, and then trying to take care of as many things as possible before I leave Chicago on Sunday. I am exhausted just thinking about it. I am keeping my fingers crossed that I have good weather and little traffic.

I am a little sad, that I will not be attending BookCon since it started. Yep, I even went the year it was in Chicago, but I hope everyone who is attending has a fabulous time.
