Yesterday I reviewed The Girl Who Slept with God by Val Brelinski. It is a touching novel about the mysteries of God, religion, life, family, and growing. In short, one of those books guaranteed to engender conversation (a great book club pick!). One of the more intriguing aspects of the novel is that Brelinski herself grew up in a strict evangelical Christian household. The ... Read More...
Author Event: Paula McLain
I may not be in tip-top writing form but I did decide I needed to get some bookish mojo back and what better way than to go to an author event. I haven’t been to one in 8 months so when I saw that Paula McLain was going to be at a local store I knew it was serendipity, because I loved her book.

Last week we moved into our new house, which is still unfinished and not a home yet. I know you stop by here for my opinion on books but today I’m going to give you my ... Read More...
It’s Monday, June 8th: What are You Reading?
Another Monday and I'm asking again: what are you reading? Anything really good? Summer-y? I'm trying to keep up with my reading but my favorite time to read (at night in bed) isn't working out well these days because I fall asleep so quickly. I try and do it during the day but we're now in the midst of preparing to move out of our rental house so everywhere I look is something ... Read More...
