The Survivor – by Gregg Hurwitz
Before I acquired an ARC of The Survivor on NetGalley, I’d never heard of Gregg Hurwitz. But this book has turned me into a fan and now I look forward to seeking out his other works. The premise of The Survivor this story is similar to those in which the catalyst … Continue reading
Suspect – by Michael Robotham (Joseph O’Loughlin #1)
Suspect is the second Michael Robotham book I’ve read (or, in this case, listened to) – the first one was an advance copy of The Wreckage, where the character of Joseph O’Loughlin played a minor part. It took me getting nearly halfway into Suspect to realize that the main character … Continue reading
Usher’s Passing – by Robert R. McCammon
Robert R. McCammon has got to be one of the greatest storytellers I’ve ever had the pleasure of being introduced to. The quality of his work never ceases to amaze me … the way he can just draw you right in and create such realistic characters and sweeping dramas that … Continue reading
Library Thing is the place to go for winning free books!
I’ve been a member on LibraryThing since late 2010, and while I prefer to use GoodReads on a more regular basis for my annual reading challenge, adding books to my virtual shelf, discussing various authors and novels, etc., LibraryThing is my go-to place for one thing: Winning free books.

Some progress today – I went more than half a day speaking only Spanish to the kids before I slipped up and reverted to English. I’ve found that it takes a concerted effort to remember to NOT speak in English – especially because I have to speak it to my … Continue reading
Maybe I should adjust my goal
On the Fluent in 3 Months forum, I posted a goal, which was to speak Spanish for an entire day. Well, maybe I should adjust my goal … or at least modify it with the caveat that my family (mother, father — who we live next to — and kids) … Continue reading
Homeschooling and the “Socialization” non-issue
I refer to the oft-asked “Socialization” question in relation to homeschooling as a non-issue, because for those of us who have any real knowledge of this subject, it is, indeed, a non-issue. However, for some annoying reason, the “Socialization” non-issue keeps coming up – most often by two groups: 1) … Continue reading
Not so great on the speaking yesterday
This post is actually a couple weeks old; I wrote it on Tumbler and then on the Fluent In 3 Months website forum: I resorted to English far too often yesterday with the kids and also with hubby. It’s so frustrating when I can’t think of the word for something … Continue reading
