These are books I would assign for a curriculum based around the controversial new Taylor Swift album “The Life of A Showgirl”.

These are all the romance books I recommend as a heavy reader, I like all types of genres mostly romance, fantasy and historical fiction. Reading takes my mind off of what's going on around me for a bit. Enjoyy!

Books I'm happy to read over and over. Timeless picture books for young readers - stories with a literary touch, classic charm, and the kind of depth adults appreciate too. Think fables and rich, meaningful storytelling.

If you're like me, you grew up reading HP, Chronicles of Narnia, Percy Jackson, etc. Now, I just read the adult version of those books! This list is for people who primairly love fantasy and I sprinkle in some thrillers and other genres here and there.

My favorite book related accessories and merch

These are some ideas of items that I'm putting together for Teacher Appreciation Week. I run a program for our school called secret pal, and I have lists of all of our teacher's favorite items. It's a little insider access into everything teacher's actually want. It includes everything from their favorite snacks, hobbies, gift cards and places to shop or eat. On the other side of the coin there's things that teacher's DON'T want: coffee mugs (they get way too many of them), scented items (candles, lotions, etc. unless they told you they specifically wanted them), and any other tchotchke items that don't serve a purpose.

A collection of books that helped me get started on my homesteading journey from backyard to 20 acres.

I watch quite a bit of tv and movies; however, I am quite picky about the things I actually enjoy. I need some realness and believability in what I watch.

Books I would sell my soul to read for the first time again

Whenever people find out that I'm an author who's had books published both by traditional publishing houses and indie routes, they usually have questions. Lots of them. So I decided to make a list of helpful resources that I've used along the way. Enjoy! (This list includes affiliate links to items that I love.

My top self-help, relationship, and non-fiction books.

This is a list for the poor, unsuspecting soul I used to be, the one who had no idea what true devastation, joy, or existential panic looked like until these books showed up and stomped all over my life. These are the novels I wish I could read again for the first time, the ones that left me gasping, weeping, cackling, and questioning all of my life choices in roughly that order. Honestly, some of them should come with a warning label: May cause excessive crying in public, sleepless nights, or the sudden urge to throw your phone across the room. Here lie the books that ruined me, rebuilt me, and then laughed in my face for good measure. The ones where plot twists sneak up on you like a ninja, the characters burrow under your skin, and by the end, you’re certain you’ll never recover, but in the best way possible. If I could hit the reset button on my memory just to feel that first gut-punch of awe and heartbreak again… I would. Without hesitation. Without shame. These are the books that I’d willingly sacrifice my weekend, my sanity, and probably a few brain cells to experience anew. And I’d do it again tomorrow, just for the thrill.

I am an avid cozy crime mystery fan, and I keep discovering great crime mysteries. My comfort zone is British crime mysteries, in the Agatha Christie and Sherlock Holmes style. But as I venture beyond, I discover riveting stories written by indie authors of diverse backgrounds. This is my curated list of my favorite crime mysteries.

I've personally vetted these books and can promise you they're all high-heat, high-stakes, and completely consuming. This is the only guide you'll need to find your next dark romance read. Your journey starts now.

Books that face real life struggle that don’t spare your feelings. I read one book that roped in some very hard topics and I haven’t stepped outside of that genre since. I love books that are about hard topics like substance abuse, trauma, and hardship. These books are sure to make you cry at least once. Some of them are very hard to read, I had to put a few down and take a break and come back later. But once I finished, I was so happy I picked them up again. Check out this list if you enjoy hard, realistic truth in what you read!!
