About Me
Hi all! My name is Sheila. I am a book lover, mom of two wonderful grown boys (one in the Navy one in College) and wife of an incredibly patient and loving man named Al. He is my Super Hero. Non Fiction.
I live in Central Minnesota. No I don’t say “ayyyyy” or “you betcha”…. unless I am being sarcastic. Which NEVER happens.
I believe in Living Life To The Fullest, Jesus and The Bible, laughing until my sides hurt, making time for friends, family, working hard and playing hard, team sports, stretching myself to the limit, saying yes to good adventures, books that make me think and books that make me feel, if you are going for the ice cream cone – GO BIG, bucket lists, doing something new each day, believing in your dreams, reading in the sunshine, playing in the rain, the magical powers of CHOCOLATE, finding the opportunities in everything, learning something new, making memories, and curly fries are better than plain fries.
Needless to say I am a lifetime bookaholic and proud of it. I have had my nose stuck in a book since I was 5. In grade school I won the bookworm award.
My dream for this blog is for it to be a place that you can find humor,discussion, a good book, and a virtual cup of coffee.
Stop by often – there’s always good conversation and I would love to chat with all of you!
To contact me about a review, please look at my review policy page and my email info is there. Thank you!




















Love your new “about me” page!
Thank you! Wait until I add Coffee Cup…LOL

Hi, Sheila;
I’m Laurie. I have a new book blog, and am wondering if the It’s Monday link list is by invitation, or if anyone can join it. My blog has been going less than a month, although I’ve been review books on Amazon, Good Reads and Library thing for several years now.
Thanks!
Hi Laurie! Anyone can join in the Monday meme! Just link up your Monday post. I usually put it up later Sunday evening. Let me know if you have any questions and welcome to book blogging

Thanks for stopping by and liking my post ‘The Tenth Circle by Jodi Picoult’. You have an awesome blog here. I found your privacy policy interesting. I never thought to have one, since I have (to my knowledge) absolutely no control over what info is collected, where it is stored etc.
Thanks! I couldnt find a place to comment on your post but I really enjoyed The Tenth Circle when I read it. I made the review policy after other book bloggers who were more established than me a few years back said it was important. Its always nice to fall back on when you are offered a book that is really out of your genre like, or if you are being pressured about when you are going to read a specific book
Hi Sheila! I just found your blog today and have enjoyed reading some of your posts. I love the idea of your Monday what are you reading posts – what a great way to discover new books! Tamara
Hi Sheila, just found your blog today, and it appears you have been around for awhile with that many followers. this winter was the opportunity to read many books, here in central MN also, closer to St. cloud.
