Y’all, forgive me. It’s been a while since I’ve posted a Bookish People interview, but I’m back with a good one!  Those of you who know my husband know he’s a runner.

Odds and Ends

It’s morning and the house is momentarily calm. Granted, everyone in the house is looking at a screen–the girls are sharing a Launchpad (but they’re SHARING it!); Matt is catching up on a show on the computer downstairs, earbuds in place; and I’m upstairs in my cozy bed. I just started a cute new book…
