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.

In the stillness of facing current challenges, I find myself thinking of my long-lost guidance system when I was a little girl: my Nanny.

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.

It was interesting to be able to identify some of the unexpected triggers that underly self-sabotage; things we may not necessarily realize.
