I intimately share my unexpected experiences and feelings this holiday season as my cheer cup fails to runneth over like in the past.

The perfect curl up by the fireplace holiday romance read that brings a traditional story into the modern world.

Keeping this month’s theme light-hearted and true to what I love reading: holiday romances.

The Color Purple: why it is banned and my take on the lessons it can provide.

The Handmaid’s Tale: why it is banned and my take on the lessons it can provide.

1984: why it is banned and my take on the lessons it can provide.

A silly original Thanksgiving poem

Lord of the Flies: why it is banned and my take on the lessons it can provide.

To Kill a Mockingbird: why it is banned and my take on the lessons it can provide.

Banned books: if we cannot expose our children to history—to injustices—how can we expect them to make the world a better place?

The long-awaited sequel to It Ends with Us. A story of possibilities, renewal, and true love—and a must read for every Colleen Hoover fan.

It had magic, mystery, betrayal, danger, love—and dragons! Absolutely fantastic read and powerful storytelling.

A heartwarming tale of a woman coming into her own, mixed with the mystery of a whodunit murder. A must read that lives up to its hype.

A satisfying ending to a mind-boggling trilogy, filled with puzzles, twists, and unexpected resolutions.

It’s Jenny’s Choice this month, and I welcome any and all recommendations of good reads you’ve recently enjoyed from any genre.

Highly recommended to keep on your bookshelf for those times you need a boost or a reminder that there is good in this world.
