My name is Thauna and I am addicted to buying books about Italy. Shocked?? I didn’t think you would be. I have more than I can possibly read before my trip in 3 months and 5 days. (Thanks handy countdown in my sidebar.) The first step is admitting you have a problem, right? **Note: adding [...]
Practicing Thankfulness during November. I’m going to challenge myself and hopefully add some fun and whimsy by working my way through the alphabet. -G- I’m thankful for: Grandbaby – too easy, haha.

I was trying to find some discussion or study questions about War & Peace to give me a starting point this week. But wow. Some questions I found are paragraphs and would require way too much brain power to answer. I’m mean I’m reading War & Peace I don’t have a lot of brain power [...]
I’m reading War & Peace. And I’m loving it so far. If you would like to join me, it’s not too late. I’m planning to take the year to read it. Here is the schedule I’m trying to follow: January: Part 1 (thru page 117) February: Part 2 (thru page 220) March: Part 3, (thru [...]
