It’s Top Ten Tuesday again! It’s a weekly bookish list created by The Broke and the Bookish. This week’s topic is: Top Ten Books I’m Thankful For The Holy Bible As you may already know, I am a Christian, and my faith means a great deal to me.

Title: Spellbook of the Lost and Found by Moïra Fowley-Doyle Pages: 357 Genres: YA, Magical Realism, Mystery Published by: Kathy Dawson Books (Aug. 8, 2017) Summary If you’re not careful, you can spend your whole life looking for what you’ve lost.

Olive can tell that… Read More
It’s Top Ten Tuesday again! It’s a weekly bookish list created by The Broke and the Bookish. This week’s topic is: Halloween Freebie For this week, I’ve decided to share ten books that actually take place during October/Halloween!

Sometimes, I want to read a book that actually takes place in the month of October, to really… Read More
Hello! So, on Saturday, I participated in Dewey’s 24 Hour Read-a-thon. It was sort of a last minute decision, so I wasn’t as organized with this one as Dewey’s readathon in April, and I had a few things to do that evening. That being said, I still read quite a bit, and I’m really happy with how the readathon went for me! Reading Update First, I read the last chapter in The Haunting… Read More
