Let’s Be Frank (Tara Taylor Quinn)

I’m generally pretty comfortable with my understandings of things that matter.  I don’t think for a second that I know all.  I don’t think I will ever know all.  But I know that I pay attention.  That I’m open to learning.  I don’t have a problem with being wrong because every time I am wrong ...Read more.

What’s everybody reading? (Suzanne Forster)

It’s been too long since I asked that question, especially given that the name of this place is Storybroads and we’re all about stories!  So, let’s chat about books and maybe recommend some great reads.  I just discovered a new author and want to share.  My last trip to the bookstore I promised myself that ...Read more.

Insomnia (Anne Stuart)

I don’t know if I slept at all last night.  I went to bed listening to an audiobook, as always.  Well, wait, maybe I need to back up.  I’ve been pushing myself a lot.  So on Saturday night, exhausted, I went to bed at 9 pm.  Fell immediately asleep, and woke up at nine on ...Read more.

Tech Wizard (Lymond de Sevigny)

As I enter my mature years, only two things propel me to the top of the cat tree. One is my sworn enemy, the vacuum cleaner. The other is the Can-Opener, when she is attempting (and usually failing) to do something with a mechanical object. Most particularly the computer. Whenever she attempts something new and ...Read more.

A Sad Farewell (Pat)

Sorry to be so late today, but I had unexpected company last night. Good fun, but the blog, I fear, escaped my mind. We watched the special on Whitney Houston, and I couldn’t help but feel such great sorrow about a talent lost. One of my all-time favorite song sis “I’ll always love you,” and ...Read more.

Shakira Attacked By Sea Lion (Maggie)

Yes, it’s a real headline. According to pop star Shakira’s Facebook page, and immediately picked up by every media outlet in the country, the pop star was on a nature tour near Cape Town, South Africa, when she spotted some sea lions basking on the beach and minding their own freaking business. “I thought to ...Read more.

Happy Valentine’s Day (Tara Taylor Quinn)

I know, I know, I’m a day late.  Still, it’s never too late to let you all know that in your own way, you are Valentines to me.  Or to wish you love and joy. I keep thinking that…next week…I will slow down and have hours to spend here with you all.  (I do read every ...Read more.

Scale of the Universe (Suzanne Forster)

Sorry for the hit-and-run blog.  I’ve been nursing a headache for several days now, possibly caused by the new flat screen monitor I bought, which is about to be returned.  I’m trying to limit my screen times and rest my aching noggin, but I do have something to share and it is amazing, spooky and ...Read more.

SQUALOR ON THE RIVER (Anne Stuart)

I’ve been spending the last week at Jennifer Crusie’s Mansion o’ Fun on the Ohio River, and having a wonderful time with her and Lani.  We’ve been shopping and going out for healthy lunches.     (see me having an foodgasm over a single french fry after all my dietary goodness)   But mostly there ...Read more.

Addicted to Downton Abbey (Pat)

Two of my favorite books last year were “Fall of Giants” by Ken Follett and “Only Time Will Tell” by Jeffrey Archer. Both books are set before and during World War I.   I loved the history and glimpses into a period often ignored. I particularly enjoyed the Follett book because the book — all 900 ...Read more.
