Celebrating a love of all things reading and writing
Romance is one of my favorite genres, but it doesn't get featured as often as some other genres at Nicole's Nook. I like to have a romance going most of the time because they're generally light, quick reads with a guaranteed happy ending. But, I often choose something different for my favorite book of the...

I know some of you saw this title and are shouting "ebook" or "audiobook". I do love my ereader for traveling, and other times when it's convenient to have esomething light to throw in the purse. I don't do a lot of audiobooks because my mind drifts too much and I miss important information. But,... Continue Reading →
It's the day when we all set goals for the upcoming year. I'm not much of a resolution person, but I try to set some intentions each year. I've fallen into the habit of limiting my posts to my favorite read of the month and most anticipated releases of the month. This will continue, but... Continue Reading →
I mentioned in my Nicole's Nook anniversary post that my goal was to write more free write posts. So, I thought I'd start with a topic I've been thinking about for awhile: how my reading habits change with the seasons.

A year ago today I decided to start a blog. I didn't really know what I was doing, but I've had so much fun learning, and exploring other book blogs. I look forward to making new upgrades to the site and hopefully expanding my readership in the next year. I took time to look at... Continue Reading →
One of the great things about being a reader is that you can learn life lessons without having to experience the hardships that teach the lesson. Books are filled with wisdom filled advice that we can apply to our own lives. But not all of that advice is good. There are a lot of actions... Continue Reading →
I enjoy traveling, but the world has had other ideas the last couple of years. Fortunately, while there were travel bans around the world, many of the restrictions on books travel (i.e. work and social obligations) were lifted. While no book can take the place of a real-life experience, there are benefits to book travel... Continue Reading →
