April. The scent of springtime, the bright sunshine, free natural vitamin D, daffodils emerging from their winter hiding places, gardening hopes renewed, and books. Of course, there have to be books. Either that, or take a hike. Your choice.

Linda Book Lady’s December 2024 Reading Report & Diary
Is it cold outside? Here in the Klamath-Siskiyou Mountains, there’s a noticeable chill in the air, enough that I’d feel silly going outside in sandals, though I still want to. Book reading involves putting on warm shoes and covering my legs with blankets, but I’m still sifting through numerous books, and I’m thinking of taking notes, more than I have in the past.

Linda Book Lady’s October 2024 Reading Report & Diary
The world is getting colder but I’ve just discovered my new bed is the most comfortable place ever for reading. It is one of those beds that, with the touch of a button, morphs into the “zero gravity” position. I’m so glad I got this bed! My plans for October include: read, think deep, and be happy. I’m hoping to live in peace with everyone, and to trust God in every situation.

Linda Book Lady’s August 2024 Reading Report & Diary
August in my part of California is called “fire season.” So far this year there have been no new forest fires near my town, but I wake up each morning and look at the “Watch Duty” app to see if any new fires started in the middle of the night. When I woke up on a September day in 2020, a fire had started on a ridge six miles north of me. By midnight that day over 200 homes were incinerated including mine, my son’s, and my daughter’s. Even though our forest north of town burned, it could happen again in my neighborhood due to grasses and many trees that escaped the first fire. I think about it every day.
