Turnin’ Pages — Cardinal Bluff Reviews Diary — March 2020

Getting a ‘late’ start with March Turnin’ Pages. That seems to be one of the few consistent things going on in my blog life! Daylight savings time started for 2020 yesterday. Seems like they moved it up to an earlier date this year. The time change is always difficult for me to deal with. Both… Continue reading Turnin’ Pages — Cardinal Bluff Reviews Diary — March 2020

Turnin’ Pages — Cardinal Bluff Diary — February 2020

Well, here we are four days into February — a short month as it is — without starting the diary. I’ve been writing posts to keep in reserve. The month went past with review posts and not much chatter. I guess you could say I was turnin’ pages of books. Things are fixin’ to change… Continue reading Turnin’ Pages — Cardinal Bluff Diary — February 2020

Turnin' Pages — Cardinal Bluff Diary — December, 2019

WRITING and writing because I’ve been READING and reading!  And, there is a lot of Christmas things to do. We are inhabited by CATS, so I’ve long given up on a tree and much décor.  I have a struggling Christmas/Thanksgiving/Easter cactus.  One of those holidays…so far 2019 hasn’t been its year.  Maybe Easter! We have… Continue reading Turnin' Pages — Cardinal Bluff Diary — December, 2019

November is coming in with a chill!  The first two weeks of November have been personally distracting!  Lots of good things, but not a lot of journaling.  The garden at The Legacy Gardens has been shut down for the winter in terms of outdoor action.  Many baby plants are swaddled in protective leaves.  Other mature… Continue reading Turnin’ Pages — Cardinal Bluff Diary — November, 2019

My Brain Plays Favorites for Joy Ross Davis

I’ve worked with author Joy Ross Davis for longer than we care to face!  Her writing has become more serious and enjoyable as the time has passed.  Joy writes in a style that some have described as angelic, inspirational writing.   Her stories are pleasantly paranormal with good eventually getting the best of evil, but not… Continue reading My Brain Plays Favorites for Joy Ross Davis

Book Review — Where Does 5 Star Perfection Stand?

Writing the review that knocks their socks off. What makes a blue ribbon book review? How would you do that? You can read all sorts from five stars to one. Some reviews are pretty sour and award a book only one star because the reviewer has to award ‘something’ to get to the state of… Continue reading Book Review — Where Does 5 Star Perfection Stand?

If I Make My Bed In Hell – A story of abuse from Ava Norwood

 This book isn’t the flinch-free, uplifting Christian review you usually see here. That is why I have it under “Alone With Judy’s Brain.”  I wasn’t going to add it and shock your sensitivities, but re-thought that decision in the view of recent news where people were abused to their great pain and even death in… Continue reading If I Make My Bed In Hell – A story of abuse from Ava Norwood
