Less a review, and more a collection of thoughts on each book I read, here begins my Reading Journal, starting with the last book I finished:

Once upon a time I was in a bible study with a sassy blond named Myra McEntire. Turns out we had more in common than a love of Harry Potter and the book of Numbers. She’s a fellow storyteller, and when I heard that her debut young adult novel, Hourglass, released in June, I made sure to add it to my reading list.

Little known fact about me: I love a good YA novel. I whipped through Hourglass on Sunday afternoon. Her fictional world of time travel and teenage romance is so different from the Jazz Era New York City that I’m writing and I found my brain rested and ready to work again after I finished.

Thanks, Myra.
