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 »

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’m so thankful my friend Miriam chose this book for our Meadowlake Book club, otherwise I’m not sure I would have ever picked it up. The ending…..oh my! I had to read the last chapter three times to make sure I could come to grips with the finale. … 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. In order to protect my precious Kindle, I grabbed The Winter Sea and took it to the hottest place on earth (Ft.… Read More »

Almost two years ago I posted a question to our audience: Should I read Outlander? Everyone said yes, so I did. I thought it was a little long but I loved it.

I just realized that it’s been exactly 3 years since I read The Kitchen House. I just re-read my review of this amazing book and realized I read it in 2013 while in Panama City during my oldest son’s 14U baseball tournament in Panama City, Florida. How coincidental that I read the sequel during my youngest son’s 14U baseball tournament in Ft.… Read More »
