Far too many people in my life have lost their lives to cancer. And I know quite a few more who are currently battling it, and more still who have been declared to be in remission. It is insidious and appears to not discriminate! So many people are investing countless […]
Are there particular authors you know of that whenever they release a book, you will read it, regardless of subject? Melanie Cellier is on my list. And I’m sadly behind on reading her books. When I saw that I had a lull in my reading schedule, I snapped this up […]
At my bridal shower, one of the games my sister had arranged for us to play was a “Who Am I?” type game. Everyone had a name taped to her back and had to guess who it was by asking questions of the others. As I recall, we could ask […]
If you have been following my blog for awhile, you may remember author Brett Armstrong from last summer. I’m excited to have his newest book, The Gathering Dark, on my schedule to read and review in the near future but didn’t want you to have to wait to learn more […]
Somehow, many of the books I’ve read lately have been of a more serious nature. So I am so happy to say that Blueberry Cupcake Mystery was a welcome change! This sweet story (pun intended!) written for teenagers was a lot of fun. While Katie didn’t set out to find […]

Again with the dream! It’s the first day of the new semester and I can’t remember where my locker is or what my combination is. And I don’t even remember where I’m supposed to be. I had variations of this dream for years. And never when I was actually in […]
Truth or Dare reminded me of an 80’s coming of age movie. Wait! That’s a good thing. I love watching those movies! Maddie is so adorably clueless. Thinking she was going to help Josh, she jumped wholeheartedly into this “project” and created charts and notebooks and lists. Oh my! […]
Moses said to the people, “Do not fear! Stand firm and see the salvation of the Lord that he will provide for you today; for the Egyptians that you see today you will never, ever see again. The Lord will fight for you, and you can be still.” Exodus 14:13-14 […]
