Book Review: Boardwalk Empire: The Birth, High Times, and Corruption of Atlantic City

Boardwalk Empire: The Birth, High Times, and Corruption of Atlantic City by Nelson Johnson 3 1/2 stars out of 5 I don't gamble. I've never been to Atlantic City. I hated Vegas the one time I went. Why did I read this book then? Because I loved the HBO series of the same name. I'm a sucker for … [Read more...]

Book Review: The Happy Hour Choir

The Happy Hour Choir (an Ellery Novel Book 1) by Sally Kilpatrick 3.5 stars out of 5 but on Goodreads that translates to 4 out of 5.  I rarely give 5's. So this is a good rating. To be honest, I really didn't want to like this book. It has the word choir in the title. I love music so that … [Read more...]

2018 Midterm Elections

2018 Midterm Elections

The South did not have all of the successes I would like to have seen last night. I woke up to some good USA news but still knowing that the South was lacking. I’m not sure why I expected better. The South just can not get away from supporting racists. These aren't the results I'd desperately … [Read more...]

For the 1st time, I finally purchased the Advent c For the 1st time, I finally purchased the Advent calendar in December from @lettersandlattesllc.

I opened each day up to a cool pen surprise. However, I'm just now getting to actually play with them and do the swatch card she includes, and watching each video for the style of lettering with that pen on the card. 

This was such a cool way to try out new pens. There was only 1 out of 24 that I had tried before so that meant 22 new pens and 1 new pencil for me! And that is saying a lot becuase I have hundreds of pens and pencils in my collection! Great packaging as well. I didn't spoil the surprise and open them all as soon as I got them but waitied for each day. Can't wait for the 2026 version.

Hey y'all! I'm Karen, a Gulf Coast of Florida based purveyor of Southern sass. I'm an Indiana Jones & Anthony Bourdain wannabe. I'm introverted and usually found with my nose in a book and pen/pencil in hand. I'm addicted to yoga, lip gloss, dumplings, and have an intense love for Scotland and Paris. It's been said I'm a little bit country and a little bit rock 'n roll. Read More…
