About Linda

I’m Linda Louise, one of the bloggers on this website and Colleen’s little sister. I’m just a girl in her mid-thirties who feels thirteen when I play outside with my boys, fifteen when I sing my heart out listening to tunes while driving by myself, and sixty five when I go out past ten at night. I have a thing for junior mints, Mt. Dew, shrimp and kale (though not all at once) and I have a crush on Superman. I still get girlish butterflies when I read Twilight, cry when I read These is My Words, and smile from ear to ear when I read Anne of Green Gables. I have nightmares about aliens on a regular basis and I have a bad habit of midnight snacking. I love everything sports, except golf (although can that honestly be considered a sport??), and I hate anything that slithers, hisses, or stings. I have a problem with giggling at inappropriate moments and I sometimes wish life was a musical. I love science, hate math, love Dr. Seuss, and hate olives. My family is my world and my joys come from their happiness. I’ve learned I don’t know much about anything and I live for a good adventure, naps, cuddles, stories, exceptional food and The Shire.

Colleen Houck Book Club!

Posted on May 1 2014 by Linda

One of my favorite phrases begins with Once Upon a Time. . . It is these magical words that whisk me away to another place and time, to see and hear a story from another voice, slipping into the skin of another person’s soul. When an author has successfully taken me on a journey where my mind has experienced adventure, love, tragedy and victory, I am forever changed. I echo the sentiments of the following quotes, “You know you’ve read a good book when you turn the last page and feel as though you’ve lost a friend.” “It’s that …
