Yesterday I introduced the idea of Heart-0-Grams; finding or creating hearts within everyday objects, taking photos, and then texting them to friends.
A few days ago, I also mentioned my love of books and how a “super power” draws interesting reads my way. While Groom and I were riding our bikes recently, we swung by a neighborhood book exchange. There’s always that moment of anticipation before we open the curbside mounted mailbox, peeking inside, hoping to find a treasure.

Since so many neighbors leave and take books, the turnaround ensures we never know what we’ll find. It’s a great way to expand our comfort zone and try new authors and titles based on the tastes of people we’ve never met. It’s also fun, wondering if others will be delighted, in turn, by our anonymous donations and meet a new author in which to fall in love.
If you’re in the mood to cozy up with a warm cuppa and read a murder mystery set in a rural village south of Montreal in a tiny hamlet called Three Pines, then award winning Still Life by Louise Penny is the cozy fireplace book for you.
Warning: Be prepared to fall in love with the characters, the setting, and the charming insults between the antique dealers and the crusty poet.
