What does my character want, and what is going to get in the way of her getting it? If I remain true to the simplest form of conflict, I almost always come up with plenty of ideas to torture my character:)! Does that sound mean? That sounds mean. But we want to see our heroes overcome obstacles!(less)

So cute and witty!
Lovely War by Julie Berry
"4.5 stars. great historical fiction with a fun twist of narrators. I got a little uninterested in the middle but I teared up multiple times through the ending. I also really liked their views on death. beautiful overall."

Where the Lost Wander by Amy Harmon
"I don't know that I've read a crossing the plains book that didn't involve Mormon pioneers so that made this one very unique. The saddest part of the whole book is the first chapter and then you are taken back. I feel like this made it harder for me " Read more of this review »
