My grandma always encouraged me to sing. Ever since she saw me perform a solo at my high school’s variety show, she’d prod me gently any chance she could get. I’m not a performer and hate to be in the spotlight, and she knew it. She also knew that I wouldn’t respond well to pressure, […] Read more…

I took a mini break from book reviews, and now I’m back! This month I finished two nonfiction books (though I read bits and pieces of some others.)

Another month has gone by, and that means it’s time for my monthly book review (no spoilers)! I finished four books in September, including a nice even mix of fiction and nonfiction.

Another month has gone by, and that means it’s time for my monthly book review (no spoilers)!

Another month has gone by, and that means it’s time for my monthly book review (no spoilers)! This group is all faith-based nonfiction, which some of you will love and others…not so much.
