The Wedding Veil
by Kristy Woodson Harvey I really enjoyed this book, let me start off with. It was a great read. If you like when authors change time periods between chapters or character perspectives, you will appreciate this book; if you don’t, this might confuse you. The Wedding Veil follows two time periods…one is the period of…

Beach Read
by Emily Henry I read this one while on family vacation at the beach and it didn’t disappoint. While the title suggests that it is a beach read, it really only is in the sense that it is a cute non-complicated romance fiction novel, but the beach isn’t really part of it or at least…

Magic Hour
by Kristin Hannah What a great book this was! I love Kristin Hannah’s style anyway, but it has been awhile since I’ve read one of hers. She just has a poignant way about her writing that makes you feel right at home with the characters. In Magic Hour, we meet Julia, a child psychiatrist under…

Where the Dead Sleep
by Joshua Moehling Joshua Moehling is a new author to me, but this book is the second book in the Ben Packard series. I was a little worried in the beginning that I would be disconnected from the book and the first one, but that was the furthest from the truth. This author made sure…

Let’s Talk About…best reading snacks
When you’re reading, you have to have a snack. It’s just like you can’t have peanut butter without jelly (or fluff for you Northerners), or popcorn without butter. They just are together. The problem for me is it becomes so mindless that have had to make sure I limit myself. I have to prepare a…

Good Grief: Heal Your Soul, Honor Your Loved Ones, and Learn to Live Again
