I love to read. Most times, I gravitate towards the same genre. Then I feel like I am stuck in a rut. When this happens I need a complete reset. I pick up something that years ago I would never consider. I often pick up a children’s book is when I loose interest in my… Read More
I have been a book lover since I was old enough to read. It seemed that there were never enough books to keep me satisfied. The older I got saw me leaning towards one genre versus others. As an adult, I began to write and started sharing reviews of the books I read. My blog… Read More
“Love With An Imperfect Bride”, I have to admit, was a little outside of my reading comfort zone. In an email about Ann Major, she is described as a “Bestselling Author of Short, Spicy, Contemporary Romances.” I would like to add one more word to that description – intrigue. I am not much for intrigue… Read More
I finished reading Melissa Explains It All by Melissa Joan Hart. I have been trying to finish this for quite some time, but much like my last autobiography, there was something that kept me from completing it. I must have instinctively known it was going to be bad, otherwise I would have had a hard time putting it down. No… Read More
I just finished reading This Time Together: Laughter and Reflection by Carol Burnett. There is just something about hearing her name that automatically puts a smile on your face. Could it be her infectious smile? Perhaps it is the familiar warmth she exudes when we see on onscreen or onstage. Still, it could be just bringing laughter into our… Read More

All you might remember Ms. Brown as she played the role of “Marnie Piper” in Disney’s Halloweentown I, II, & III. In her latest adventure, she brings her Halloween holiday expertise to print and introduces us to… Read More

It allows me to be more in tune when I read. Also, it reminds me to not to rush through a reading. At this time… Read More
These days, it seems that many of the “romance” books that I see marketed on the leading social media sites are geared less toward the imagination and more toward detail. While I don’t mind either, I like to see more of what I used to read long ago – sweeter stories, more wholesome and truly romantic. “Falling for the… Read More
“A Place to Call Home” by Merrillee Whren is much more than your average romance story. As an avid reader of the genre, I would know. I’ve read hundreds upon hundreds of books in this category. On the surface it fulfills the necessary requirements, but looking at it on a deeper level reveals a story with… Read More
I am happy to announce that I am back with my book reviews! To start off this season’s reviews, I begin by saying that I have been loving the writing from authors based out of the UK lately. I especially enjoy when the books they write incorporate food and Christmas, my favorite holiday. To me there is nothing… Read More
