Reedsy Discovery is a fun website where authors and reviewers can connect to promote specific genres of literature to the right audiences.

I originally published this list in January of this year; however, my system of dates, book read, and star rating didn’t line up and was unreadable! My blogging skills are nowhere near legendary, so I now present to you the reformatted version of my reading list with only the month listed for each book I read. 🙂 How many of […]

Sometimes life doesn’t change very much. I’m finding this out in the grand scheme of keeping my house clean. There’s an ebb and flow to life, no doubt; however, day to day, not much changes. The kitchen still needs to be cleaned. The dishes still have to be washed and put away. And somewhere in the monotony, the floor should […]
Branching Out I’ve thought for awhile about trying my hand at a small commentary on pop culture and music. Commentary often gets the audience riled and can even drive away readers. However, the goal of my blog is to make readers, listeners, and watchers aware of the philosophy behind the books, music, and movies we are imbibing. So I’m trying […]
Every week is different! I had a much busier week, which tends to make keeping on top of things at home difficult. However, I kept up with everything for the most part. This week was a good reminder that not every day is going to go according to plan. My routine was not perfect, not even close. But I don’t need […]
Whew, what a week! I worked only one day last week: Friday. It felt crazy weird and I’m still in a bit of a fog after having so many days off of work (long story short, I finally got the Rona!) Luckily, since I was not sick for very long, I was able to tackle many long-forgotten projects that had […]
Twenty-Eight Days to Hope in Your Home I just wrote a review for Dana K. White’s book Decluttering at the Speed of Life. I am forever changed after reading that book. So of course I picked up her other two books (one of them brand new and you can find it HERE, you’re welcome). I’m not done reading them quite yet, […]
I started down the path of becoming a movie connoisseur in 2021. I started my Christopher Nolan binge (worth it!) and realized that I love watching Andrew Garfield and Christian Bale on screen. I branched out. I watched movies I’d never heard of. I watched movies I never thought I would like. In stepping outside my usual comfort zone of […]
I didn’t quite make my goal of 52 books read last year, but I’m giving it a try again this year! I’ve got so many more books I want to read it’s almost painful to make a limited list. Below I’ve put down my top 25 books that I’m attempting to start and finish this year. It’s a fairly wide […]
