Knowing and Enjoying God

In my times of spiritual growth and alone time with God, I had made a resolution to be doing devotionals with an addition of trying to read more Christian living or theology books to take notes from. I already had been following a pastor on social media named Tim Challies, so when I was walking […]

Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell

Another book fresh out of the bookcase; I give you Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell. It took me longer than expected, but then I had the usual experience where the I start out slow then once I hit the halfway point I was cruisin’ for a bruisin’. The book has three sections; the setting being […]

Harry Potter & the Sorcerer’s Stone

We have all heard of this series and franchise. Growing up, I was raised in a Christian home that did not approve of the Harry Potter. Once us kids became adults, naturally we watched the movies. I had never read the books up until now, what with there being so many books in the world […]

The Sailor Who Fell From Grace with the Sea

It has been multiple hot minutes. The Sailor who Fell from Grace with the Sea was a very fairly short book to come to after reading Oldest Living Confederate Widow Tells All, but apparently I was still on a train of reading some dark content. I was able to read through it within a week, […]

Poets and Saints

Happy Easter, everyone. I hope everyone has had a great spring so far. I am going to go in the opposite direction of books. I have a nonfiction for you, which is a rarity; I think I have only ever done one or two other nonfiction books. I am doing another Christian-based one as well. […]

Oldest Living Confederate Widow Tells All

After three long months, I have finally completed my first book of the year. Call it burn out from life, but I think I got my groove back a little. I stayed up until 4:30 in the morning just to finish it and get a third of the way through a new book. Oldest Living […]

Girl In Hyacinth Blue

Interesting how I read out of order of when I got books by certain authors. I already had owned something by Susan Vreeland, but read Girl in Hyacinth Blue first even though I purchased it later on. It seems trivial, but it is just a little funny to me. Centered around a Vermeer painting, Girl […]

The Undesired

Happy New Year, everyone! It has been a long three weeks, and working retail life does not help with the matter. I hope you were all able to spend time with loved ones, and give and receive many blessings. With the new year come new reviews. I thank you all for the support and follows, […]

The Catcher in the Rye

Staying on the coming-of-age and short read path, I have read something much more familiar. The Catcher in the Rye. It was a random buy while I still had all of my books in storage. I had always been aware of The Catcher in the Rye growing up: the acclaim, the love for it, the […]

Passarola Rising

Oh, do I have a fun read for you. I put it in the same category as Empires of Sand, for those who have been following my reviews for awhile now. It was a random buy when I was at Half Price Books a couple of weeks prior, and not all of my books were […]
