Tuesdays with Linden’s Favorite Links: Wear Palettes [Quick Reads]
Today’s Quick Read is purely visual. No words. Well, you can read the titles, but they are so small on the page compared to the palettes and images, so they don’t really count. Click on over to Wear Palettes and take a peek. I like this site because I am known for my bad color [...]
Book Challenge Update: 3 Down, 21 to Go
I finished Kafka on the Shore last night, and I have repeat what I said last time about Haruki Murakami being an artist with words. He polishes his craft in this book. The main characters–Kafka, Nakata, Oshima, Hoshino, and even Mimi the Siamese cat–are so well designed, without feeling forced, that I really believed they are real people living in this world.

On Regaining Balance
For almost a year, I have been struggling with balancing responsibilities with recreation. It all started when the Moving Home date loomed closer. I was so excited to move to Berlin, then move home to start the next phase of our life. It was bittersweet, though. I did not want to leave Germany, and I [...]
Tuesdays with Linden’s Favorite Links: One Sentence [Quick Reads]
Today’s Quick Read link is a OneSentence.org, a site fueled by reader submissions. As I’m sure you’ve already guessed, each entry is exactly one sentence, thus the title of the site. The idea is to collect entire stories contained in the neat little package contained by a full stop. I have submitted a few myself, [...]
