    Books I’ll Never Tire of

    There are so many books I love rereading. Before the advent of free ebooks, I used to reread books more regularly, but, these days, there’s just so little time and so many titles piled onto my TBR tower.

    Be More Like Anne Shirley

    I pick Anne of Green Gables. A couple of decades ago, I would have picked Stargirl as the book character I’d like to be.

    Physical Activities for the Non-Sporty

    I’m not really into sports. The only times I ever care are when my country or school is involved, when there’s a cute guy/s playing, and when there’s some big issue/scandal looming over the game. I was really active as a kid, and then asthma threw a monkey wrench into all, er, none (I didn’t Read more

    5 Quotes for Keeping Gratitude

    To make the community I belong to a better place, I definitely need to actively contribute in all the ways that I can to improve it. Money helps, of course, but service is probably better. Still, at the core of either involvement is a person who feels the need to be a part of the Read more
