Reading can be so fulfilling. In fact, the 5 books, I read yesterday for this post, have put me over my yearly goal on GoodReads. I had a goal of 72 books for this year and I am at 73 books now; that is 20 books ahead of schedule, according to GoodReads. That is...

I Tried to Call My Father Daddy Once
I was a dad’s girl. I tried to call my father daddy once and we both gave each other a look. We both knew he wasn’t a daddy. It wasn’t that he didn’t love me. I knew he loved me. It was just that neither of us was overly cuddly. We were more logical. I was in grade...
Book Review: Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier
I believe that Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier is one of the saddest stories I have ever read. The first time I ever heard about this book, I was reading The Reading List by Sara Nisha Adams. This classic fiction novel was on the reading list in this book; since then I...
Book Review: The Ragamuffin Gospel by Brennan Manning

Book Review: Bathsheba by Jill Eileen Smith
