What We’re Reading

What We’re Reading

Lately I’ve been trying to be more mindful about reading to the kids before bed. I was noticing some attitude issues going on. Once I started reading at bedtime would you believe the attitude issues all but cleared up?! (Given we still have our tired days . . .) Here’s what we picked up this month: Elsie and I are… Read More

September Book Report

A Time to Die | Nadine Brandes: This one seemed to take me forever to read—not that it was a bad read, it was actually amazing (I want to blame it on the craziness of life). I loved it (and the second book releases tomorrow). You can see my full gushing here. The Winner’s Curse | Marie Rutkoski: This one… Read More

Review: Plumdog

Review: Plumdog

Plumdog is a endearing book about a small black dog (she’s a whoosell—a whippet mixed with Jack Russell and poodle) from London (which was my original draw towards this book).

Here’s another binge worthy read for your weekend. (And don’t hate on me because it’s another dyso title. This one is what I like to call a happy dyso. You aren’t all depressed at the end—I promise!) The Choosing “Not to be Chosen would yield a cruel fate of my own making.” Like all citizens since the Ruining, Carrington Hale… Read More

Only a few this month! All Fall Down | Ally Carter: I will forever think Ally Carter is brilliant. I love everything she writes—every story has that Alias flair (and if you don’t know what Alias is . . . my favorite TV show ever. It’s on Netflix. Look it up. You’re welcome.) The start of her new series, wasn’t… Read More

Want to read Project Grinch first? 

While I don’t have a lot to tell you about the storyline, the general idea is if the Grinch and Buddy the Elf were stuck on a roadtrip together at Christmas time (the Grinch is female in this story!) 

If you like YA fiction, rom-coms, and Christmas stories, you hopefully will enjoy Project Grinch.

That was twelve years ago... and I almost listened That was twelve years ago... and I almost listened. 

I’m really glad I didn’t. To be honest, this person wasn’t wrong. At the time I wasn’t very good at writing. It was early on in my career. Hearing that I should give up was a punch to my gut and I had two choices.

OR

I could buckle down and get better. 

I chose to get better. I still don’t think I’ve “arrived” but I am a lot better than I was then. 

So this is me telling you — don’t ever stop dreaming, don’t ever stop learning, and don’t take bad advice. 

You got this. I’m cheering for you.
