As I read through the first few pages of a new book, I thought to myself, "I could have written this." "I smiled and feigned confidence as I began to tell our story. All the while, I wanted to scream from the rooftops that I shouldn't be there at all. That I was an educated woman. That I'd always paid my taxes and been a straight-A student in school - the valedictorian of my high school class and named "Most Outstanding Female Graduate" at my college graduation. That I was a hard worker. … [Read more...]
Books I’ve Read: July 2017 (Quick and Easy Reads!)
For me, July was full of quick and easy reads. Especially toward the end of the month, it started getting super hot out, so I quickly reverted to my "lump on the couch" status and enjoyed several of these books in one sitting.

I knew how to brown ground beef and cook chicken (although not well), and I knew enough to make dinner out of a box. Let me tell you, you get pretty sick of those boxed meals … [Read more...]
Books I’ve Read: May 2017 (Part 2)
May was a big reading month for me, so much so that you get a second post about books! (See part 1 here) Here are a few more I read last month... The Fever by Megan Abbott. I feel like I heard about this one on the What Should I Read Next podcast, but I don't remember for sure. We were browsing our local bookstore, and I picked it up kind of on a whim. This book was not exactly what I expected. Girls at the local high school start dropping from this weird disease that presents with … [Read more...]
