What Kind of Woman
I thoroughly enjoyed reading Kate Baer’s collection What Kind of Woman during this year’s national poetry month. “This is not a dress rehearsal before a better kind of life. Pick up your heavy burdens and leave them at the gate. I will hold the door for you.” “For now just remember how you felt theContinue reading “What Kind of Woman”
The Echo Wife
I honestly don’t know how to describe this ride except to say it filled me with equal parts horror + fascination. so I guess it succeeded? what do you do if your husband leaves you for another woman? what do you if your husband leaves you – for another you? Evelyn is at the topContinue reading “The Echo Wife”
To Have and To Hoax
this was really funny, and it definitely pulled you in. not a typical romance, in that this book skips over the honeymoon period and drops you right into a 4 year long ice age. Violet and James both have to acknowledge and face the pains from their past that have transformed their marriage from aContinue reading “To Have and To Hoax”

Isaac’s Storm covers the devesation wreaked by the great hurricane that struck Galveston TX in Sept 1900. it is set against the hubris of man at the turn of the century, and like all of Larson’s books, a true page-turner. Isaac’sContinue reading “Isaac’s Storm + Thunderstruck”

Abaddon’s Gate is the 3rd book in The Expanse and is the basis for the 3rd season of the Amazon Prime show. even having watched the show I was still engrossed by the characters and the intrigue.plus Amos always makes me laugh. I’ve been assured by friends that these excellent books only get better asContinue reading “Abaddon’s Gate”
The Supper of the Lamb
fitting to read this for Holy Week ✝️ I opened this on a whim and I’m glad I was able to digest (heh) slowly over Holy Week. “To be sure, food keeps us alive, but that is only its smallest and most temporary work. Its eternal purpose is to furnish our sensibilities against the dayContinue reading “The Supper of the Lamb”

Concrete Rose
even knowing the background of Maverick’s story from The Hate U Give, I was not emotionally prepared for Concrete Rose. I’ve read all of Angie Thomas’ books on audiobook, and once again, this did not disappoint ♥️ “It’s kinda like how we have to do with ourselves. Get rid of the things that don’t doContinue reading “Concrete Rose”
