Fiction that Speaks

Fiction that Speaks

You, guys. This book. Oh, my heart. First of all, let me say that I went into this book not really knowing what it was about. I knew it was about a dress shop, and Amy Green (who rec’d the book in the first place) said mentioned it was a split time story (which as of late have become some… Read More

Summer Day Readings

Summer Day Readings

I have a new favorite thing. Reading by the pool. Guys, it’s the best! The only reason I can think of why it took me so long to discover is that I’ve had a baby on my hip for the past nine years! There’s something about sitting in the sun, the sound of kids playing in the water, cool drink in hand… Read More

In Review: Song of Leira

In Review: Song of Leira

Note: This review contains affiliate links. Confession time. I generally don’t read high fantasy. I preface that because I’m about to highly recommend a fantasy novel (series really), and if I do that, you know it has to be that good. Song of Leira is the third (and final) book in Gillian Bronte Adams’ Songkeeper Chronicles. It’s one of those series that… Read More

In Review: The Ambrose Deception

In Review: The Ambrose Deception

This book was too much fun. I loved following along with Melissa, Wolf, and Bondi as they tried to discover the answers to their clues. Chicago is the city on my bucket list that I just absolutely love (and my brother lived there for a couple years), and after reading this book I’m even more determined to make that trip… Read More

The Saturday Night Supper Club

The Saturday Night Supper Club

You guys. This book. You know when you find those authors and you just want to gobble up everything they’ve written? Carla Laureano is one of those authors for me. So I was just ecstatic when I bumped into her last year at the ACFW conference and heard about her new book. And this book. It was worth waiting for…. Read More

In Review: Daring to Hope

In Review: Daring to Hope

Heartbreakingly beautiful.  Daring to Hope is Katie Davis Majors sophomore release. I fell in love with Katie reading her first book, Kisses From Katie, and couldn’t wait to dive into this one. It’s been a while since I read book one, but I’m pretty sure this books picks up pretty quick after book one left off. Katie’s a bit more… Read More

In Review: The Invisible Library

In Review: The Invisible Library

I grabbed Genevieve Cogman’s The Invisible Library on recommendation of a close friend (hi, Bek!) Spies, libraries, books, magical elements—this book seriously has it all. It’s a story about a society of librarians who travel to different times and realities to save books. Irene is one of these agents. She travels, with new student, Kai to retrieve a book from an… Read More

Don’t make me do this alone! If you have a project you’ve wanted to work on, I challenge you to join me this month! @createexploreread and I are always talking on the podcast about how community is the best thing on this writing journey! Here’s my plan:

Oct 26: I’ll jump into edits to finish by Oct 31

Everyday I’ll post a reel or carousel with an  update, and if you’re joining me on this crazy project you can add your progress in the comments (whether word count or time spent or pages edited).
