I found this book on someone’s reading list and decided to give it a go. It doesn’t bother me when I’ve never heard of the author because there are so many talented writers who never seem to break through the craze inspired by the latest fad writer (no offense Freida). Anyway, I confess that IContinue reading “You Shouldn’t Have Come Here by Jeneva Rose”

Unspeakable Things by Jess Lourey
I downloaded this book several months ago on my Kindle as part of the First Reads program. At least, that’s how I think I came about downloading it. My favorite things to read are thrillers, obviously. The darker, the better. This book definitely fits that bill subject-wise. I rarely read a book straight through, butContinue reading “Unspeakable Things by Jess Lourey”
The House in the Pines by Ana Reyes
I’m new to this author–probably because this was her first novel–but it kept popping up in my thriller groups online, so I thought I would give her a shot. I was disappointed. I like the idea of the book, but I feel like the story took too long to unfold. At first, it isn’t clearContinue reading “The House in the Pines by Ana Reyes”
Dracul by Dacre Stoker & J. D. Barker
Okay, let me start by saying that I love horror books, movies, activities…the whole nine yards. Being a mom with young(ish) kids still at home, I don’t get to watch horror movies a lot. But I can read whatever I want without offense, right? (Just another reason to love books!) For our October read, myContinue reading “Dracul by Dacre Stoker & J. D. Barker”
Chapter Six
Fred I know how I appear to people. I dress in fine clothing; I drive a nice car. Upon first appearance, most people would assume a man like me to be a rich yuppie. The truth is, I came from a mid-middle class family in a relatively poor area. Not shacks and outhouses poor, asContinue reading “Chapter Six”
Chapter Four
Paul Six Months Ago Sweat is beading upon my forehead. The skin on my arms feels tight from the assault of the morning sun. Today the skies are clear and there’s no September breeze, which I would gladly welcome. I pray for a breeze, but God wants my submission. I’m okay with that. Finally, theContinue reading “Chapter Four”
Your Wife’s Guide to Power Tools
That’s right, folks. POWER TOOLS! First off, apologies: I tried to post this last week, but time got away from me. Now, two weekends ago, my husband was working on the countertops now situated in the café of our soon-to-be-open business. Because it was raining outside, he had to work in the house. (That was theContinue reading “Your Wife’s Guide to Power Tools”
Your Wife’s Guide to Being Right
This post may gain some traction because we’ve all been here, haven’t we ladies? I try to be a good wife. I try not to nag until it becomes necessary, and I try to overlook flaws because I know I have several of my own that must be overlooked. But now and then, I alsoContinue reading “Your Wife’s Guide to Being Right”
Chapter Three
Sybil Present The first thing I notice is that the office is cold. Not just the temperature, but the dark, muted colors and the sharp angles of the furniture and chairs. This is obviously strategic, but I believe for most clients it probably has the opposite effect. Sitting in a small room with a therapistContinue reading “Chapter Three”
Why is it SO HARD to watch football?
When I began following football a few years ago, I didn’t realize the harrowing effort and research it would take to watch the games of a particular team. For example, everyone who knows me knows I love the Kansas City Chiefs. Particularly Patrick Mahomes. Not Taytay. I currently reside in Dandridge, Tennessee, which is aContinue reading “Why is it SO HARD to watch football?”
