Books to get you in the Christmas Spirit!!
Is it just me, or does December just make you wanna read ALL the Christmas books??? Sometimes I want to read true literature full of figurative language and deep symbolism…BUT sometimes I just need some mindless good old-fashioned fun romantic comedy. And THAT is where the CHRISTMAS ESCAPE book series fits in. If you like a good beach read/Hallmark movie type situation…this series has GOT you covered: nothing too deep, lots of funny dialogue, clean romance, and PLENTY of Christmas spirit!! There are 7 books, some better than others, but all with the same general rom/com vibe. Did I mention they are all free with Kindle Unlimited?? I honestly cannot…

More books for the Jane Austen fan
I am not sure what has happened the last few months, but I have been on a TOTAL Jane Austen kick. If a book has a poor single woman and a wealthy but standoffish man…I am reading it…haha!! I just CANNOT help myself. I think it is all of the social distancing and sheltering in place. I am channeling my inner JANE. Last month I shared a few Jane Austen inspired books HERE and here are a few more books for the Jane Austen fan…you KNOW who you are!! First up…JANE AUSTEN IN LOVE. This one had me the MOMENT I saw that Jane Austen is actually IN the book.…

Book Review: The Afterlife of Holly Chase
I am not even gonna pretend on this one. If you are only going to read ONE book this Christmas Season, it should be THIS one!! The Afterlife of Holly Chase by Cynthia Hand is a modern CHRISTMAS CAROL retelling and I could NOT put it down!!! My homeschool group is learning about Dickens and A Christmas Carol this month, and so I just sorta FELL into this book by accident while searching for a book that would interest my high school girls. Before I even assigned pages to read, one student already finished the book AND LOVED IT!! And I downloaded it to pre-read before my students got it…

Book Review: The Winter Guest
Being a homeschool mom has many benefits, but one downside is my lack of solo time. I spend 24 hours a day with my kids…which is GREAT…but also often makes me wanna pull out all of my hair and hide in the pantry with a bag of chocolate chips. It also GREATLY limits my personal reading time. In the last year I have read LOTS of books aloud to Ethan about dragons and Camelot and talking mice. AND I have read Little House on the Prairie and Heidi again for the first time in YEARS. BUT at the end of the day, I was starting to feel the need for…

Summer Boredom Busters

All opinions remain my own. How many times have you heard “Mom, I don’t have anything to do,” or “Mom, I’m bored,” already this Summer?? In a perfect world, the kids would go outside from sun-up (or if we are being honest they would sleep in) to sun-down and play nicely together only coming in for lunch and dinner. BUT we alllllll know this is not a perfect world and that kid boredom turns into screen time,…

Love Inspired By Harlequin
This post may contain affiliate links. I receive books at no cost to preview, but the opinions shared are my own. I am a reader. I love to read JUST ABOUT anything. I actually got in trouble in Elementary for reading too far ahead in my reading book and AGAIN in High School for reading Ethan Frome in one night and telling the whole class how it ends. I cannot always help myself when I find a good book. I lean more often towards historical fiction and YA fantasy these days, but I also love a good romance. But it is not always easy to find a book that fits…
