Always read the book first. Yes, that’s one of my mottoes. Strangely enough, Oscar’s Best Movie of 2017 was a MOVIE and then a BOOK. What is up with that? I dug a little and found out why. Read the explanation here. I’ve had the book on pre-order for a while and it was finally released this week. … Read More »
My grandmother loved Billy and Ruth Graham. She read all of their books and shared several with me. She quoted both of them often. I’m sure Grandmother was one of the millions who greeted him as he entered the pearly gates this week. It wouldn’t make sense for my book of the week choice to be written by anyone else. … Read More »

I’m not one of those people who is addicted to HGTV. Really, I’m not. I’ve seen a handful of Fixer Upper episodes and I’m kinda fascinated by Tiny Houses after binge watching a few episodes with my Mom and my Aunt one day. However, my Mom on the other hand, is ADDICTED to HGTV. I’m currently in Alabama helping Mama recover from knee replacement surgery. … Read More »
Well, it’s the App of the Day so I decided to make it the book of the week too!
After many years of writing in her prayer journal, missionary Sarah Young decided to listen to God with pen in hand, writing down whatever she believed He was saying to her. It was awkward at first, but gradually her journaling changed from monologue to dialogue.… Read More »

I’m experiencing reader’s block. I can’t make myself read but instead have been binge watching The Crown on Netflix.
So this week my Book of the Week is instead…the Netflix Binge of the Week! Sorry book lovers…I’m cheating on you. Watch both seasons of The Crown on Netflix. I’m ready to go visit London now and have been spending a ton of time on Google since finishing the last episode searching for pictures of the real people featured in The Crown and who is going to star in next season and what is the current line of people who are heirs to the British Crown (Prince Charles then Prince William, then Prince George). I love history…and binge worthy shows!… Read More »

Goodreads is an app/site that helps me keep track of all the books I’ve read. Right now it tells me that I’ve read 248 books, want to read 116, and am currently reading 7. I’m really only reading one book right now so guess I better check my settings.
To me, there’s nothing better than finding the perfect book so I’m always on the lookout for books to add to my “want to read” list. … Read More »

Upon further research, Reese Witherspoon has already picked up the movie rights for this book and it isn’t even available in paperback yet!… Read More »
