I struggled a lot these last few years. One thing that has kept me going is that I never lose my sense of hope. I once had someone tell I was miserable because of a situation I was in. I'm never miserable because I hold on to my glimmer of hope, no matter my circumstances.… Continue reading A poem from my book, Asleep and Dreaming

Book Review: Irresistible by Melanie Harlow
Amazon.com I went through a phase where I read six of Melanie Harlow's books back to back. I really liked her earlier books better than the more recent ones. Irresistible is much better than Only You, but the story still is lacking. Frannie has lived a super sheltered life. She was born with a heart… Continue reading Book Review: Irresistible by Melanie Harlow
Book Review: Heir of Fury by Jina S. Bazzar

I started reading Heir of Fury a while ago, pacing myself by only reading one or two chapters… Continue reading Book Review: Heir of Fury by Jina S. Bazzar
Book Review # 2 – Emergency Contact by Mary H.K. Choi
Image Credit: Amazon.com I always feel bad when I write an unfavorable book review, like I did for The Upside of Falling.

I completely relate to that. … Continue reading Book Review # 2 – Emergency Contact by Mary H.K. Choi
Book Review: The Upside of Falling Down by Rebekah Crane

It had so much working for it: a beautiful setting (Ireland), an unusual premise (the aftermath of a plane crash) and it was wonderfully written. Then the boy entered the picture. I read a lot of novels with a… Continue reading Book Review: The Upside of Falling Down by Rebekah Crane
