Shanna Hatfield has written a fun romance, filled with the flavors of the West. As a fan of the “brother’s best friend” stories, I was excited to see the author had chosen to use this in Keeping Christmas. Trevor, in perfect big brother fashion, didn’t trust his best friend, Gabe, […]
Given the opportunity to review this book by Carrie Turansky, I couldn’t pass it up, despite a full blog calendar! Snowflake Sweethearts is a sweet romance of second chances. Brought together when Alex’s grandmother Irene experienced a heart attack, Alex and Annie struggled to trust each other. Abandonment issues from […]
Fascinated by information, I love learning about many things. One of the ways this manifests itself is when I’m with my friends and we begin speculating about a topic. I usually grab my phone and look it up to understand it correctly. Or when my team at work is sitting […]

Have you ever played the “would you rather” game? You know, “would you rather this or this?” with each choice being equally appalling. I have often considered that the one sense I would be most loath to lose is my eyesight. While I’m not afraid that I wouldn’t be able to […]
I wrote my first love letter when I was twelve years old. He was eighteen. Jack Romano. Sigh. That summer my parents had spent several months in Australia. My dad had been invited to teach in a university there and so they parceled us off to friends and relatives and […]
