If you’ve been keeping track, you’ve probably noticed that I’ve posted less recently. You might assume that I’ve been writing behind the scenes working on my bigger writing project, but unfortunately I haven’t made recent progress there lately either. Due to some other responsibilities I’
I wanted to like this book much more than I did, partly because I think the cover is extremely cute. :) It’s a romance between a young woman who inherited a bookstore, but doesn’t read and a romance author. The story is basically what you’d expect it to
I picked up this book off a sale rack in a bookstore in Chicago a few years ago. It caught my eye because I considered myself to have one foot in the fashion world (albeit hand-made fashion). While I am less in that world now, I did finally pick it
I made an error of judgment and only brought one novel on our Nova Scotia trip, which I finished before the trip was over. So, I looked through my wish list for books that were available to read in the Kindle app, which is how this one was added to

I have realized that I would absolutely read way more books in a year if I decided to devote my reading time solely to romance. These are quick reads for me, the ones I am most likely to stay up way too late reading, or pick up on a weekend
This book begins with a stillbirth, a tragic loss, yet the woman who had just left the tiny body behind in the wilderness seemed somehow cold and distant to me. When I first started reading this book, I didn’t make it very far before setting it aside. But eventually
I saw a moose who wasn’t there and thought of you. Yesterday, he had been there—standing tall and majestic. My breath caught in my throat as I came up over the rise where the trees give way to the blueberry barren and caught sight of him walking towards
Before I dove back into the darkness of the other book I am still trying to make my way through, I took a break to enjoy something light and happy. Romance novels are a favorite of mine, even though I’ve had to reach my middle adulthood to feel like
On Sunday, October 20, 2024, I sat on a rock listening to the waves rush against the rocky point of Western Head in Cutler. I couldn’t help but be grateful to be in this wild and beautiful place. The waves rushed back and forth in their never-ending dance with
