  • When the Moon was Ours

    To the boys who get called girls, the girls who get called boys, and those who live outside these words. To those called names, and those searching for names of their own. To those who live on the edges, and in the spaces in between I wish for you ever light in the sky. Do

It’s been a while since I’ve read this one but boy, has it stuck with me. “You may tell a tale that takes up residence in someone’s soul, becomes their blood and self and purpose. That tale will move them and drive them, and who knows

  • All We Had

    My mom is my best friend. We hadn’t always been that way but our relationship has grown to be that way. I know without a doubt she would do anything for me. As a mother myself, I would do anything for my kids. Rita and Ruthie have a similar relationship. They have been dealt a

  • Welcome book lovers to the second installment of #FictionFriday!!!! Coming-of-age novels have never really been my thing but I always manage to read at least one each year. I’m always surprised by how much they stick with me. But this one in particular really stuck with me. Perhaps it’s because there’s a bit of sci-fi

Starting out our #FictionFriday, I’d like

  • The Handmaid’s Tale

    I’ve wanted to read this book for quite some time. And with the release of the Hulu series, my desire to read it increased. So when my friend and I were putting together our book club list, we both had it at the top of our choices. I can see why it has taken the

  • The Thirteenth Tale

    When I picked up The Thirteenth Tale, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. The blurb on the back doesn’t give much for a reader to go on which I suppose adds to the mystery of the book itself. I’d never read any of Diane Setterfield’s work and was curious as to her writing style and

  • The Shack

    As I’ve mentioned before, I’ve never been big on reading Christian-based books. Not even just Christian but religious books in general. The fiction ones come off too cheesy most of the time and the non-fiction ones are just too dry. So when my mother begged me to read The Shack, I was a little reluctant. I’d
