Winter reading

Published on by Linda Mahkovec - Author4 Comments

Cold weather, long nights, snowy days – all help to create the perfect atmosphere for snuggling into a good story.

I like to imagine my readers settling in to read the Christmastime series with a hot drink close at hand,

whether at home

or in a cozy cafe,

in a favorite reading chair,

or a reading nook.

Outside,

or in front of a fireplace.

Whatever your reading habits,

I hope you include the Christmastime series as part of your winter reading –

which begins with the 1939 prequel and ends (to date) with the 1946 Valentine’s Day book.

Wishing you all a wonderful new year and the enjoyment of many good books!

Springtime reading

Published on by Linda Mahkovec - AuthorLeave a comment

Now that it’s officially spring, reading outdoors has even more appeal. Opening a new book amid the first flowers of spring or under blossoming trees speaks of new beginnings, a sense of well-being, and hope.

There’s the promise of longer days and milder weather, and hopefully, more free time to indulge in the discovery of new books.

And if it’s still too cold where you live to read outdoors, bring a bit of springtime inside with a few blossomy sprigs or some fresh-cut flowers to remind you of what’s up ahead.

September–a time for reading

Published on by Linda Mahkovec - Author2 Comments

The transition from summer into fall brings with it a sense of quiet. A time for contemplation, a looking within.

Vacations are over and school has begun. The weather has shifted and the trees are beginning to be show the golden colors of fall.

It’s the perfect time to find a special place outside and indulge in reading a good book.

Before the temperatures drop, before the pace changes for the coming holidays, take time to catch up on your reading and enjoy the quiet mildness of September.
