Instead of sharing regular reviews here (that will stay on my Goodreads), I’ve decided to highlight my most favoritest of favorite books this year. 😉 I’ve already covered a few, which you can find by clicking the “Favorites” tag. A book I originally rejected I don’t even remember this, but apparently J showed me a copy of this […]

We’re just a couple months out from the release of “Letters for Victory”, my middle-grade World War 2 homefront story. Since the beginning, I was very intentional to write this story in the style and spirit of the sibling stories I grew up enjoying. If I were brave enough to compare my book to others […]

This post was inspired by Jana’s “You Don’t Have to Fix a Reading Slump“. I have been reading so much lately, and this whole year, really. I’m up to almost 150 books, double what I used to regularly read. It’s a little scary to me, this opposite-of-a-reading-slump. Am I reading too much? Am I just […]

We’re over halfway through, and I’m not ready for this to end! 😉 Five Fall Favorites is always a highlight for me. I love how much community has sprung up around it, and how many books are recommended, of course. 😉 I’ll be sad when this year’s party is over, but I hope to see […]

Day three, eeeee! I’m so happy to be celebrating with you! How are you and your TBR? Are you already overwhelmed by how many amazing books there are to check out? I know I am, but happily so. 😉 Non-fiction is one of those genres where you either love it or you hate it. I […]

Today’s prompt is all about indie books (aka self-published, independently published, etc.). Indie authors make the world go around, […]
