Note: I received a free copy of this book from Net Galley and am leaving this review voluntarily. The first thing that caught my eye about Wiving by Caitlin Myer was the cover—full of color yet muted, the tones spoke to the desire for hope, however stunted that desire may be by circumstance. Next, I … Continue reading Book Review: Wiving by Caitlin Myer

Book Review: Brave(ish) by Margaret Davis Ghielmetti
Note: I received a free copy of this book from Net Galley and am leaving this review voluntarily. When I began Brave(ish) by Margaret Davis Ghielmetti, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. My favorite genre has long been biographies/memoirs, but a book about traveling the world? That was a new one for me. Thankfully, … Continue reading Book Review: Brave(ish) by Margaret Davis Ghielmetti
Book Review: So Much Better Your Way: Signed Jack by Theresa A. Laws
For years, I have believed that the right book will find you exactly when you need it. When it comes to Theresa A. Laws, this always holds true for me. In November of last year, I read Diary of a Divine Relationship and was instantly curious about the life of protagonist Jack Riley and his … Continue reading Book Review: So Much Better Your Way: Signed Jack by Theresa A. Laws
Lifetime Reading List: The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood
Since I began increasing my social media activity two years ago (namely, on Twitter), one of the books I’ve seen most often debated, discussed, praised, and criticized is The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood. I’d been hesitant to read The Handmaid’s Tale because I like to read for pleasure, not to get angry, and rage … Continue reading Lifetime Reading List: The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood
Sharing the Joy
This weekend, my son turns three-years-old, and over the past couple of months, he has discovered books. I’ve kept books around the house in baskets, on shelves, casually stacked on tables, and pretty much anywhere I could since before he was born. Around the time he was six months old, I started mixing in some … Continue reading Sharing the Joy
Book Review: Hamlet by William Shakespeare
It isn’t the easiest task for me to assess Hamlet as a book review because my theatrical background (more than ten of my twenty-four years) prohibits me from seeing any Shakespeare as a book. To me, Hamlet is a script that’s bound like a book, but isn’t one. So for that reason alone, I have … Continue reading Book Review: Hamlet by William Shakespeare
Judging a Book by Its Title, Part 1: Letters to Putin
I always like to promote my fellow indie authors, and one that I find myself promoting more than any other is Joshua T. Crowley. His book, Letters to Putin, was a healing reading experience for me because it features the story of his childhood with a narcissistic parent – a childhood that, at times, mirrored … Continue reading Judging a Book by Its Title, Part 1: Letters to Putin
Book Review: Owen by Tony Riches
I first noticed Owen by Tony Riches about two years ago. The cover caught my eye because of the bright colors and title, also the name of my son. I was pregnant with my son when I first saw this book and remember thinking “What the heck? Let’s learn about this Owen.” And thus began … Continue reading Book Review: Owen by Tony Riches
Author Interview: Adrienne Dillard

Among the wonderful individuals to grace my life with conversation is the remarkable Adrienne Dillard, author of my all-time favorite book, Cor Rotto: A Novel of Catherine Carey. Over the summer, Adrienne … Continue reading Author Interview: Adrienne Dillard
Book Review: Eight Will Fall by Sarah Harian
Love. Devotion. Revenge. Those are three words I wouldn’t have put together before I read Eight Will Fall by Sarah Harian today. (Yes, today! It was so good I couldn’t put it down. I started it yesterday and then read all day today!) Following the trials of young Larkin, Eight Will Fall is a fantastical … Continue reading Book Review: Eight Will Fall by Sarah Harian
