There are more options this month, that’s a plus, right? I’m starting to see a trend in the books I pick, a mix of Teen and Adult but generally with darker or fantastical themes…. People are going to start thinking I’ve got something against romance […]

One of my anticipated new releases, One Of Us Is Lying does not disappoint. It is a fun teen read that truly pays homage to The Breakfast Club. Beyond the detention and the stereotypical teen characters, there are little nods here and there to the movie […]

*sigh* Umberland is such a disappointment. I’m a HUGE fan of Alice in Wonderland. Anybody who’s met me, read my blog, or followed me on social media can probably guess I hold more than a small space in my heart for Alice and her friends. […]

The Weight of Lies landed on my anticipated new release list and I’m glad it did. Hurt and angry, poor-little-rich-girl Megan seeks to exact revenge on her absentee mother. But Megan’s mom isn’t just anybody, she’s novelist darling Frances Ashley whose novel, Kitten, made her […]

The Night Ocean starts out with a disappearance and manages to suck you right in. Admittedly, there were parts that dragged a bit for me, simply because I grew weary of one particular character but I think it’s just a “me” thing. Character development is […]

I’m lucky. My parents are alive and quite healthy. They’re involved in my life and my kids’ lives. I talk to my Mom almost every day. But, it’s Father’s Day and I want to take the time to thank my Dad for being the best […]

What a disappointment Spindle Fire turned out to be. I’ve always been a fan of Sleeping Beauty and I’ve enjoyed other renditions but this was terrible. I’m not sure I can give it more than a star. I don’t know. The concept of princesses having some […]

A friend (also a creative spirit *Hi Selah*) suggested Designing Your Life to me a little while ago. I finally got around to reading it and working through the process of designing MY life. I won’t go into the details because it is private, but I’ve […]

I don’t even know where to begin with The Black Witch. It sort of makes me feel like a mean girl. I finished this book last night, stayed up until 1am to do so, and I’m mad at myself for doing so. What a waste of […]

Maddox (a.k.a. Sox) turns 11 years old today making this his Golden Birthday. I’m so proud of this kid and so pleased to celebrate him today! He’s a good sleeper. This kid slept through the night at just four weeks! He loves naps and snuggling […]
