All Things Girl Archives - Reese Ryan Romance

Remember record players? If not, just wait a few years and you’ll probably have the same nostalgic feelings about compact discs. 😉

Today, in The View from Here I revisit nostalgic moments from my childhood and the excitement I felt when I walked the four blocks from my house to the local record store.

My love for stories in both written and musical form hasn’t diminished with time.

In some ways, both passions seem stronger.

When my husband was gifted a vintage style stereo system–a sort of Godzilla of music players–I began a quest for vinyl records which led me to discover that tomorrow, April 19, 2014, is Record Store Day. I’m more than a little excited about this discovery. We plan to spend some time thumbing through stacks of records on wax revisiting fond memories from the past and hopefully returning home with a few new treasures.

Check out my post The View from Here: Moments of Nostalgia and tell me what makes you nostalgic about the past.

The past couple of months have been insanely busy. Though I haven’t posted frequently here on the Reese Ryan Diaries, I’ve been pretty active around the ‘net. This week:

Here at RRD I reminisced over my favorite How I Met Your Mother episodes.

In light of the volatile reactions to the show’s ending, I shared my take on the How I Met Your Mother Finale and the Promise of Happy Endings over at the Contemporary Romance Café.

Jana Richards, a fellow member of the Contemporary Romance Café wrote a brilliant post on how to write successful romantic comedies. That prompted my plea: Someone revive the romantic comedy, PLEASE! over on the Sulia Romance Novels Channel.

Today I’m over at All Things Girl, where it all started for me, talking about The View from Here (or life on the other side of 40).

Got a minute to pop over to one of the above stops to say hello? I’d love to see you! In the meantime, happy reading.
