Though I am reviewing every book I read this year on Goodreads, I have no intention of reviewing all of those same books on my blog. But I will review those that particularly speak to me here. Love, Pamela by Pamela Anderson was definitely one of those. If Pamela … [Read more...] about Love, Pamela by Pamela Anderson Book Review

West With Giraffes Book Review

by

In my youth and 20s, I was an avid reader. You could almost never catch me in my free time without a book in my hand or, at the very least, close by. As I aged, and my vision slowly started to deteriorate, I stopped reading. In fact, until September of 2022, I had not read the entirety of a book in perhaps 10 years. My eyes felt tired or I would get a headache and I would … [Read more...] about West With Giraffes Book Review

I just finished "Chase Darkness With … [Read more...] about “Chase Darkness With Me” + 11 More Books You Will Love

Writers On The Edge #sponsored

by

Recently, I read a very touching book called Writers on the Edge: 22 Writers Speak About Addiction and Dependency by Diana M Raab. What made it so touching was that it shared the personal stories of people who either suffered from some kind of addiction or had to deal with someone who did. As you may know, addiction is something that millions of people across the world suffer … [Read more...] about Writers On The Edge #sponsored

It did take me a while to get to another book by her, though, … [Read more...] about “Night Road” by Kristin Hannah {Book Review}
