Hi there and welcome to my blog! My name is Darlene and I’m from Canada and I love, love, love to read.
I’ve liked reading from a young girl-my mom would read to me and I’d read back to her. I’m running out of room to put all these books already, yet I keep buying more. Now I own a few eReaders which has made things even worse as I have more books on them than I can possibly read in a lifetime. It’s a serious addiction.
SammyI had a dog named Buddy who I had to put down in October of 2010. He was my kid and I loved him with my whole heart. He was a sick boy though and I had to put him down at 8 and 1/2 years old. I decided that a new puppy would help heal my heart so I got Sammy who is a bright ray of sunshine although he’s also a load of trouble still. He runs the house, he runs his mommy and I’m sure he’s enjoying every minute. He’s my new reading baby; the only thing he needs to be taught is not to chew mommy’s books. Every Sunday will include pictures and sometimes a video of Sammy as he goes forward in this adventure called life.
I especially love the summer months and sitting outside reading with the dog. I also like knitting and crocheting so along the way I may post some of my crafties. I hope to those who visit that you’ll return and visit often!
In memory of Buddy, May 25, 2002 – October 22, 2010. I love you my little man and miss you always!
Long time resident of Texas and being that you are from Canada you have a totally different world than we do right now and right now in winter do not envy you!
I also love to read outside in the summer but my Chihuahua prefers to stay inside in the AC so when read am by myself. I also do crochet, not as much now as when first learned back in 1982 but a little every once in a while. Cross-Stitch has become my 2nd obsession behind my Book Reading and my Computer surfing. All three keep the stress level down from life and love to share the love of them with others!!
Glad found your lovely blog and will indeed visit often, when I remember that is!!

I am happy to find your blog! I started a reading blog recently and wanted to see how other people navigate this world of blogging. If you have any advice, please let me know! http://novelladies2010.wordpress.com/
I am glad to have found your reviews. I read a lot and often find the book reviews in the newspaper not informative enough for my wants.
I live in North Texas and we are down to one dog (a terrier mutt who was abandoned on our street eight years ago). We lost two elderly dogs to old age in the last two years and Milo may be our last dog (or not!).
I do not crochet but my mother did a lot. However, I make all my pants, shorts, blouses and dresses myself. T-shirts and sweaters make more sense for me to just buy.
I look forward to reading more of your reviews. Diana – North Texas
Hi Darlene,
Found a link to your blog from another blog that I'm reading and I gotta say that I love your blog.. great reviews, great designs and i love your cute sammy.. 🙂
I love reading and have been reading since I was little as well. And like you, my shelf is overflowing with books that I haven't read, but I keep buying them anyway.. I have this addiction that I can't get rid of, but I'm happy about it 🙂
Well, just want to say hello and happy reading.
