Introverts in the Church ministered to me

Instead of sharing regular reviews here (that will stay on my Goodreads), I’ve decided to highlight my most favoritest of favorite books this year. 😉 I’ve already covered a few, which you can find by clicking the “Favorites” tag. The introvertedness of me I’ve talked about this before, but I am an introvert. 86% introverted, according to the […]

November: job changes, picture books, and Thanksgiving

November tends to feel like the Thursday of the year, but I still enjoyed it for what it was. I’ve been going through some stress and big changes with my job situation. I got a sweet deal of a job back in February, but now I find myself with more free time on my hands […]

drifting leaves: autumn tag challenge

Autumn is slipping away, but not before I do this tag. 😉 I was tagged by Katja from Little Blossoms for Jesus, and it was originally created by Autumn from Shades of Art. I’m so excited to do this! (I wasn’t able to download the original tag graphic, so I had to make my own.) […]

It’s the indie Black Friday book sale again, and I’m so excited. 😉 Not all of my books are on sale this year, but you’ll find good deals on all my novels. If you haven’t gotten to read them, now’s a great chance! I’ll also be browsing all the categories to find my new favorite […]

my holiday TBR

I almost called this my Christmas TBR, but since I celebrate Advent and Chanukah too, I realized “holiday” was a great way to encompass it. 😉 I don’t know if I’ll get to all of these books in December, but these are the ones either owned or from the library that I have to choose […]

The last moments of summer turned the sky a well-worn pink, reflecting on the faces of the family laughing and splashing in the creek below. Kathryn rose […]

books that have brought me comfort lately

One of my favorite side quests is answering monthly surveys from a big name publisher about my reading tastes and trends. It makes me feel like I’m influencing their marketing, and the questions are always fun to consider. My favorite prompt is to name three books that have brought me comfort lately. Comfort is such […]

Rosetown felt like home

Instead of sharing regular reviews here (that will stay on my Goodreads), I’ve decided to highlight my most favoritest of favorite books this year. 😉 I’ve already covered a few, which you can find by clicking the “Favorites” tag. A gift from Mikayla The Very Awesome Mikayla sent me a few books, two from one of her […]

Oddly Specific Things I Love in Books Tag

This blog tag was originally created by Iona from Story Bossoms, and Lillian Keith tagged me to do it. Thank you, ladies! This looks like so much fun. 🧡 I love reading so much! I recently took this very fun quiz that cemented what sort of books I like, but the idea of getting “oddly […]

how to do your own surprise book challenge

J and I are on our third surprise book reading challenge this year. We were inspired by an Instagram reel of a wife wrapping surprise books for her husband, and we’ve made it our own tradition now. 😉 We have so much fun discovering new reads for each other, that I thought I’d share how […]
