Sunday Bookends: An old-school mall visit and weirdly high blog traffic for my usually quiet space

It’s time for our Sunday morning chat. On Sundays, I ramble about what’s been going on, what the rest of the family and I have been reading and watching, and what I’ve been writing.

Wodehouse book and I enjoyed it so much I’m already reading another one … Continue reading Book review: The Inimitable Jeeves by P.G. Wodehouse
