I read a great selection this month, and finished my first 2 pregnancy books! I’ve been working on a lot of different genres for my whole life, and this is a new genre for me. I’m excited for this next chapter!

In May I read 6 books, which was a light month for me. But they were all excellent!
Leaving Isn’t The Hardest Thing
I love memoirs, they’re so moving and powerful. This one is hard and heavy and hilarious and full of pain and love. and swears ♥️ I read Leaving Isn’t The Hardest Thing, by Lauren Hough “I was angry. I was tired of feeling sorry for myself. Which is really the same thing, but anger providesContinue reading “Leaving Isn’t The Hardest Thing”

Losing Myself Brought Me Here
I read a really fantastic, new to me, poet this month. She’s got a few collections I want to check out. “I was not lost or found. I was a bit in the middle. I was afraid to find out too much about myself but I did not want to be misplaced either.” “I rememberContinue reading “Losing Myself Brought Me Here”
Prayer in the Night
Tish’s first book, The Liturgy of the Ordinary, is one of my all time favorites, and this is one now, too. such a good and thorough and thoughtful look at grief, heaviness, sorrow, fear, pain, anguish — and hope, joy, peace, not despite those other things, but because of and in the midst of them.Continue reading “Prayer in the Night”
