Hello, I’m callie

Welcome.

When not reading, you can find me researching my family tree and I’m lucky enough to have gone back to 1575 courtesy of an Elizabethan ancestor who wrote a diary about his adventures.

The domain name was inspired by the song Rainy Days and Mondays by The Carpenters. I chose it because there is nothing better than curling up on a rainy day reading a book.

books are magical doors to other worlds.
