‘Twas another great meeting of Reading Between the Wines this past weekend! Everyone in our book club has officially hosted a month, so October’s meeting was back at my house. It’s amazing to think we’ve had almost a full year of great reads, food and conversation! Up for discussion this month: The Compound by S.A. […]

Reading Between The Wines: The Girl Who Chased The Moon by Sarah Addison Allen
A few weeks ago the ladies of Reading Between the Wines got together for our July book club meeting at Crystal’s house! Her book selection – The Girl Who Chased The Moon by Sarah Addison Allen – was perfect for summer with featured foods that made planning our dishes a no brainer. But before we […]
Reading Between The Wines: The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
Last night’s meeting of Reading Between the Wines was so much fun! Between the circus-themed goodies provided by Shanley (our hostess) and the Bacardi favors provided by Nicole (more on that in a bit), we had a great time. Oh, and the book discussion was fun, too. 😉 I actually read The Night Circus at […]

Happenings (viii)
1. I turned 27 back on May 9. Similar to last year, part of my birthday weekend was spent in St. Louis, where I had the chance to spend some time with my Grandma Gige. We attended an early afternoon showing of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, which was really good. I watched Ace Young’s […]
Books in Review: January
Since I have a fictional page goal this year, I thought it might be fun to do a monthly roundup of the books I’ve read as a way of checking in. Some books – as in anything by Rainbow Rowell – may get separate review posts, but this method will ensure I at least mention […]
