March 8th is International Women’s Day! In honor of that, I’m sharing some of my favorite quotes from some beautifully influential women. My sister recently read In Praise of Difficult Women, and it would be the perfect read on a day like this. A novel full of stories of influential women who were labeled as […]

Friday Five: February
So…what happened to February? I feel like I haven’t stopped moving for weeks! February has had a TON of family. My birthday was even this month! Here’s to hoping 27 is the best year ever. Foam Roller It’s a running joke in my family how many times I bring up how much I love my […]
Inkspell by Cornelia Funke
I remember doing a book report in the 8th grade on Inkheart by Cornelia Funke. It was such an interesting story where the characters were able to read book characters to life! I always wished I could do that. When I learned (a few months ago) that it’s actually a trilogy, I was overjoyed. The […]
Perfect Pasta Salad Recipe

Small Steps by Louis Sachar
I’m a big fan of young adult novels. There’s something about disappearing back into the types of books I read growing up. Plus, they’re quicker reads, which is super helpful when books like The Autobiography of Henry VIII are taking me forever to finish. Did you know that there was a follow up to Holes? Louis Sachar wrote Small […]
Leaving Time by Jodi Picoult

When Leaving Time was available from my library while I was traveling, I rented it, assuming it would be like the rest of her novels. I don’t understand how someone could have written both Small Great Things and Leaving Time. The Story The […]
The River Widow by Ann Howard Creel
One of my new favorite things is Amazon Prime’s First Reads program. If you’re an Amazon Prime member, you get one free ebook every month. These are new releases, or books that haven’t even been released yet! That’s how I came to own The River Widow by Ann Howard Creel. The Story The River Widow follows Adah Branch in […]
Defending Jacob by William Landay
Phew! I finally finished my third book of 2019. I’ve definitely fallen behind in my goal to finish 52 for the year (one per week), so I’ll find some time to catch up later. Defending Jacob by William Landay was my first real foray into the world of audiobooks! My cousin and a girlfriend both recommended […]
