I was down with the flu+ the entire week of Christmas! I haven’t read anything except the heartwarming short stories in The Spirit of Christmas, edited by Amy Newmark. I’ve been drinking water and tea and sleeping/watching Hallmark Christmas movies. I hope the holidays have been kind to you and I hope you have hadContinue reading “IMWAYR: The Last of 2025”

Today’s featured title was Hanukkah Upside Down, byContinue reading “IMWAYR: Finishing 2025”

IMWAYR: Mostly Listening

I haven’t read much (except my new teacher contract!) this week; I’ve been holding the new grandbaby!

IMWAYR: Week of Waiting
This is the week of the new grandchild! We are eagerly awaiting the birth and celebration of our grandchild, so I’m sticking with short, fun reads to distract myself.
