"She is too fond of books, and it has turned her brain." --Louisa May Alcott

                                                    Welcome to my corner of the world!

Please sit down, grab your favorite book, and have a cup of tea. Or coffee. Whichever you prefer.
I hope you don't mind interruptions or impromptu visits from dwarves or fairies, for they often stop here for an occasional cake or roll and like to add their bit o' wit to the conversation.

 Anyway, since it's just us right now, I thought I'd introduce myself.

I go by Cherry Joy, and I am a kind-of shy, simple, old-fashioned redhead with a huge imagination. I am the fifth of six siblings, and my hobbies include baking up a storm, reading a new book, or sword-fighting. I have wonderful parents and a loving Heavenly Father. One day I hope to be able to write as well as my sister (who is a self-published author*), or at least be able to finish one of the several stories I have started over the years.

And believe me, "Of which there are several."

                                            Had to get a quote from Mr. Collins somewhere in here ;)

My purpose in this blog is threefold: discuss different books/movies, share some of my favorite recipes, and gain a better knowledge of writing strategies and literary tactics.
Overall, I hope this venture proves itself to be fun and amusing to you. If not...well, let's just hope that does not happen. I will try to post at least once or twice a month, depending on whether Anne or Peter Pan stop by with a fascinating story or bit of gossip.

I hope to make new acquaintances and forge friendships throughout this journey. But if you wish to remain aloof, I might just use you in a story as a character I don't like. Your choice. :)



Ta ta for now!
