Out of the Office
Oct 28, 2014

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, not that I probably need to tell you that, and coincidentally it’s also the month for my annual mammogram. This is not normally something I’d […]

Life is Short, Celebrate
Oct 27, 2014
I’m a big believer in celebrating life. The good, the bad and the ugly. I’m also a big believer in celebrating the many successes we’re lucky enough to have at BookEnds. It’s one of the things we do really well (successes and celebrations). Just recently I took my team out to celebrate 15 years as […]

On Monday Twitter, and a number of blogs, got quite excited about this topic and lots of people had lots of opinions.

Thinking of Gone Girl
Oct 20, 2014
A few weeks ago I posted my review for Gone Girl to GoodReads and boy did I get some flack. Keep in mind that I usually write short reviews on GoodReads. I don’t have a lot of time or energy to write out everything I’m thinking and with Gone Girl that was especially the case. […]
