Two for Tiny Tattoos

butterfly, butterflies, butterfly tattoo, tattooA little over a year ago I wrote a “fictional” account of getting a matching tattoo with my 16-year-old granddaughter, Sophie. Tattoo Trauma | roughwighting

As much as we wanted to make our action non-fictionable, in our state no tattooing is allowed for anyone under 18.

But we had plans.

After intense research, we found a reputable tattoo parlor (are they still called “parlors”?) in a little New Eng

Another winner by Taylor Jenkins Reid. Basically, yes, contemporary romance that involves a love triangle, but so much more in here. I enjoyed!

The title didn't entice me, so I wasn't going to read this book, but I'm glad I did. Historical fiction but also contemporary in a sense. The reader is placed in different times, back and forth, from WWII to the 1960s: magical (in a sense) and includ ...more

I enjoyed this novel. Yes, a contemporary romance but much more than that, including some historical fiction that is believable and interesting. I liked the characters and the writing. Not cookie cutter.

I wouldn't have picked this book to read but it was on Amazon's First Reads program. And it wasn't the silly (but fun) rom-com I was expecting. There was more to it with the challenge of being a female professor in a college full of arrogant and pret ...more

Dark, satirical, without one redeeming character throughout. The novel begins with an influencer who pretends she has a wonderful life "running" a ranch with her husband and kids, then somehow ends up in the 1900s in poverty, living with an abusive h ...more

Excellent read. A little slow at first, as others have noted, but at least in the Audible version, it kept me engaged with excellent voices in Birdie's and Meg's voices. The novel is set in Mississippi in 1933 (during the depression) in a particular ...more

Lovely, sweet story of a lonely old woman. But yet, so much more. The writing at times is astounding. An allegory? We all need love, to be needed, to find our "family" in any way, beast or human. ...more

“Photographers are writers- Writers are photographers: we catch a glimpse of something beautiful – a flower, a glance, a window – and catch it into our camera or writing lens: add a bit of glimmer, a ghost of shadow, allowing the background to sink into fuzziness while focusing on the sharp beauty; thus, we highlight the romance of life.”
Pamela S. Wight

“First frost meant letting go, so it was always reason to celebrate.”
Sarah Addison Allen, First Frost

“Reality, in fact, is usually something you could not have guessed. That is one of the reasons I believe Christianity. It is a religion you could not have guessed. If it offered us just the kind of universe we had always expected, I should feel we were making it up. But, in fact, it is not the sort of thing anyone would have made up. It has just that queer twist about it that real things have. So let us leave behind all these boys' philosophies--these over simple answers. The problem is not simple and the answer is not going to be simple either.”
C.S. Lewis

“Photographers are writers- Writers are photographers: we catch a glimpse of something beautiful – a flower, a glance, a window – and catch it into our camera or writing lens: add a bit of glimmer, a ghost of shadow, allowing the background to sink into fuzziness while focusing on the sharp beauty; thus, we highlight the romance of life.”

“You might need to walk into happiness, like it's a joint, and once you're inside, you own it.”
Adriana Trigiani, Tony's Wife

“There's a much deeper and meaningful conversation being conducted in the space between the lines.”
