Book Review: I Am Nujood, Age 10 and Divorced

October 11, 2015 by Karen Filed Under: Book / Book Reviews Leave a Comment

I Am Nujood, Age 10 and Divorced by Nujood Ali My rating: 2 of 5 stars I really wanted to like this book but I felt that it needed so much more. I mean, it was her story but it was so short and such light reading. I finished the book in 2 hours. There could have been so much more background into … [Read more...]

Book Review: Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail

August 9, 2015 by Karen Filed Under: Book / Book Reviews Leave a Comment

Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail by Cheryl Strayed My rating:3 of 5 stars This was my beach book for summer of 2015. It was so very much better than the movie that I saw first. I felt like the movie was just lacking in depth and story so I wasn't disappointed when I opened … [Read more...]

Book Review: Younger

Younger by Suzanne Munshower My rating: 3 of 5 stars I don't normally read mysteries, thrillers, crime novels, etc. but it was a freebie from Amazon so I figured I would try it. It was a rough start for me trying to fit the pieces together but once I got into it then I was hooked. It wasn't … [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…
