I was thrilled when she reached out a few weeks ago to offer to send me the third book to read! … Read More »

I’m a big believer in rating books on Amazon and Goodreads. Ratings are personally helpful to me when I’m choosing my next book. Normally when I finish a book I dread thinking about how to choose which number to assign because normally I’m inclined to want to include a half point somewhere and that’s never an option! … Read More »

I’m not sure how I found out about this book, probably a Kindle sale recommendation but I’m not sure. I remember reading the description that said something like this:
When Nina’s estranged friend Karin leaves her a key to a public locker in the Copenhagen train station, Nina gets suckered. Inside the locker is a suitcase, and inside the suitcase is a three-year-old boy: naked and drugged, but alive.”… Read More »We have 50 Admit 2 passes to give away to a Monday screening of THE LIGHT BETWEEN OCEANS!

I just adore my friend Laura Hogan. She and I were in a conversation about books and when she mentioned she’d read more than 50 audible books this year and was looking for a LONG book to choose next I suggested The Winter Sea and offered her a challenge. I’m way behind on my reading and was going to forego a book of the week for The Aha!… Read More »
I don’t always complete all of my summer goals but made sure that “Biking the Beltline” was a goal that my family completed before school started back! Finding time for the four of us to do this together turned out to be impossible so I settled for just me and my boys.
Ordinarily I would have been very nervous about keeping up with my two very healthy and athletic teenagers. … Read More »

I can’t even remember why I chose to purchase this book. It was probably one of those buy 3 get two free specials at Barnes and Noble that I bought and stuck on my shelf to gather dust due to my preference of reading on my Kindle.
