One of my favorite parts about vacation (without kiddo) was all the free time I had to read. I could read on the way to the airport, in the airport, on the plane, on the van to the resort, and finally, by the pool or the beach. Therefore, I finished quite a few books! Almost [...]

O Me of Little Faith: True Confessions of a Spiritual Weakling by Jason Boyett – In following with my year’s pursuit of the word ‘belief’, I am reading more about people who deeply doubt. This book had a bit of a different feel than the last book that I read, almost more raw. I don’t [...]

Alright. I really wasn’t planning on ever reading this book. I know. That’s awful to type out loud, but I have an incredibly low tolerance for cheesy Christian books. Blasphemy, right? But over and over again, the ladies at my church kept recommending Captivating by Stasi Eldredge as a book that impacted their life profoundly. So, [...]

I’ve been doing a little reading this month and I’d say that it’s been a fairly diverse set of books. A parenting book. A classic love story. And a sci-fi novel. I don’t know if they get any more different than that. But I did enjoy them all! A co-worker gave me the Happiest Baby [...]
For May’s bookclub book, we read Trail of Crumbs by Kim Sunee. None of us particularly loved the book, it wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t up to the caliber of some of the other books we have read. It was a lot like Eat, Pray, Love in my opinion. . . and I though Eat, [...]

It’s been awhile since I’ve had the time to write up about some of the books I’ve been reading, so I thought I would do some concise summaries just to get them out of my head and recorded on this blog. You know that’s why I blog right? To get things out of my head [...]
