In the words of his boast asserting his warrior status, he is: Uhtred of Bebbanburg... The man who killed Ubba Lothbrokson by the sea...

”In Her Shoes” (2005) and Wanting to Be in My New Shoes
There I was last week, minding my own business in a Winners store, when suddenly I heard the siren song of the shoe section. I wasn't looking for shoes... really!

More Vacation, Books, Wine, Richarding, etc.
Arrived back home from vacation late this afternoon. Good to be home, but sorry it's over. After my previous post, the winds changed direction and the smoke blew away. (While the area near the Princeton fire is still under evacuation order, today's reports showed the fire to be 35% contained.) A few of my more memorable activities … Continue reading More Vacation, Books, Wine, Richarding, etc.

So, picture this... There I was in the cinema on Sunday evening waiting to see My Cousin Rachel, a movie that has received a number of excellent reviews, and I was -- completely alone!

Never Let You Go by Chevy Stevens
One of the suggestions in the My Life in Books Tag that I answered was to pick a book set in your city/country. I knew I had read an author who sets her stories in British Columbia, but all I could think of at the time was, Birds of Vancouver and the Lower Mainland!
