Time for a few book reviews I think! These are three books I have read in 2021 that I awarded a five-star rating. These were so good! I highly recommend all three of these books. I am a big fan of Susan Meissner's writing and was very excited to pick up The Nature of Fragile […]

Are you all Kristin Hannah fans? Her book The Nightingale is a favorite of so many people. That one was about two sisters and their experiences during WWII in France. A year or so ago she came out with The Great Alone, a story of a Vietnam vet with PTSD who moved his family to […]
