About Me

Hi there!

My name is Lelia. I'm 43 years old, married for 18 years and the mother of two teenage girls. I homeschool one of of my daughters, do some freelance writing, love to garden, am studying herbalism and energy therapy, enjoy paper crafts, cooking, baking, and knitting & crochet. (I find the last two activities especially fun when watching hockey or American football).

Favorite Books

I was an English major and am fond of most of the classics, especially 19th century British fiction. In winter, I like to curl up with some good old detective fiction. I Γ’β„’Β₯ Cormoran Strike, Maisie Dobbs, Miss Marple, Hercule Poirot, Sherlock Holmes, Malcolm Fox, John Rebus and Armand Gamache. I'm always looking for new series to try, so let me know if you have any recommendations. I also like memoirs and autobiographies and have recently enjoyed Jeanette Winterson's Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal? and Terry Tempest Williams' When Women Were Birds. And I'm always a sucker for any kind of self-help, think-positive, metaphysical type books.

Favorite things

I like Muhammad Ali, art, ATCs, Jane Austen, Vanessa Bell, birds, books, Buddha, Agatha Christie, coffee, dark chocolate, deer, Degas' horse paintings, Ralph Waldo Emerson, equestrian statues, flowers, gardens, green, hands, hawks, herbs, Jean-Auguste Dominique Ingres, Jizo, journals, Joan of Arc, Martin Luther King, Jr., Kwan Yin, landscapes, Lord of the Rings, Henri Matisse, mythology, note cards, office supplies, Georgia O'Keefe, paper, poetry, postcards, quotations, readers, royalty, Mark Ryden, William Shakespeare, stickers, tarot, turquoise, U.S. Presidents and First Ladies, Vincent van Gogh, washi tape, William Wegman's Weimaraners, Walt Whitman, Virginia Woolf, writers, yoga.

Comment: Thank you for the gorgeous 18th-century-style Barbier card (it's going on my spring/summer board :) and Maya Angelou stamp, Lelia! I am thankful to have seen Hamilton last Halloween evening -- I had seen the posters at The Public Theatre in October 2014 advertising its upcoming Off-Broadway run, and since I love theatre and history, I was intrigued and bummed I would not be in town to watch. I snapped up a ticket in August after having postponed due to other commitments. The Chicago production recently opened tickets through March 2017, I think, the First National Tour launches next year (?), and blocks of tickets for the Broadway production are released at intervals. I am so glad NY is regulating resellers (it disgusts me that there are currently empty seats each night due to scalpers' unsold tickets) and outlawing bots that snap up new tickets within seconds. If you have a friend in NYC, the box seats are only sold at the Richard Rodgers, but those are partial view. I have also heard of success waiting in the cancellation line, which is no longer a secret, but it's hit or miss depending on how many tickets are available. In the new year, there will be 42 $10 tickets available by digital lottery because premium tickets are being hiked to the $700-800 range. I entered everyday on a lark when I was in NYC a month ago but didn't win. I really hope you and your daughter get to see it! Thank you also for the book recommendations :)
