I’ve been a teacher for the better part of twenty years, a book blogger, and a contributing editor at Book Riot. I love to read across genres, but the books that ground me are cozy, low-drama stories with quick-moving plots.

In the summer of 2025, I went through one of my biggest reading slumps of my life — so I ended up doing what the old adage suggests: I wrote the book I wanted to read. Living in that world was so much fun that I came up with ideas for three more books in the series (and plenty more are still spinning in my head).

I’m hoping readers will find both a dose of comfort and a cure for a reading slump in my quick, cozy, plot-driven books. If you do, please share — I love connecting and talking with other readers!

Wallace is on page 99 of 224 of Notes to John: At this point, with everything I know about Joan already and now reading this - she left this to be seen on purpose. I feel like it’s the confession she couldn’t bear to publish while alive.

Ann Patchett is a hit or miss for me. Don’t hate me - I read half and then put it down, completely uninterested. Maybe because I’m not enamored by the idea of a mother having a life before her kids? It doesn’t feel interesting or glamorous to me. Per ...more

It feels like everyone and their mother liked this book but me. I tried in paper copy and on audio and couldn’t get into it. I adored Wuthering Heights - I realize this is meant to be an adaptation. Maybe it’s reading that in my 20s (I doubt I’d stil ...more
