Last week I published the top 2018 Fiction Books selected by Goodreads. I immediately purchased the book listed at #1 and couldn’t put it down. It was a quick read and definitely a psychological thriller. I found myself totally in the brain of Anna Fox and loved all the twists and turns. Before reading it, I checked out the list of actors that will be playing the lead roles in the upcoming movie. … Read More »

I told someone this week that I’ve been addicted to Andy Stanley podcasts lately. I literally listened to his 4 part series “The Bible for Grown-Ups” in one afternoon. Now I’ve moved on to reading his latest book: Irresistible: Reclaiming the New that Jesus Unleashed for the World.

It has an awesomely long sunroof, it is small and easy to park, I can talk to text with it so easily, but my most favorite thing of all is that it works with Apple Car Play and reads books from my phone to me!… Read More »
