Welcome to my altered journey through life. You never know if I will be into home improvements, knee deep in a good book, on an Alaskan cruise or just being silly. I hope this blog will give you tips, tricks, ideas and books to add to your TBR list. Thanks for stopping by.

April book pick
For some reason, as the winter turns to spring, I just want to read a book with a vacation-like vibe. As soon as I started this one, I wished I had saved it for Spring Break (less work) week. Looking at the cover I expected the general fiction book of romance on a beach or something. What I got was a book about two almost has-been movie stars trying to make another hit movie like they did years before. The male lead, Cole, is full of himself and his ex-wife, Stella On the movie set is a young girl, who is a social media influencer, that wants nothing more than to make a name for herself, at any cost. We also get to meet a producer who doesn't really have patience for any of the actors, because she may have been violated and has no memory of the event. Oh yes, and there is a hurricane coming ashore and a possible murder. The Siren is a great book!

Review: The Discovery of the Titanic
The Discovery of the Titanic by Robert D. BallardMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Finally picked this book up at a used bookstore (it was rather pricey as a new book), and it is just as spectacular as I imagined. There are notes and an in-depth look at how the team found the Titanic. The photos are simply outstanding!!!

Review: Century Girl: 100 Years in the Life of Doris Eaton Travis, Last Living Star of the Ziegfeld Follies
Century Girl: 100 Years in the Life of Doris Eaton Travis, Last Living Star of the Ziegfeld Follies by Lauren RednissMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is the most perfect book! I mean perfect! The book tells the life story of Doris Eaton Travis and is beautifully put together, full of ephemera, cutouts, illustrations/doodles, and a fun text. I think Doris must have had the most catching personality if she was anything like this book.
