Barnes & Noble
Local business in downtown Abilene with wide variety of titles. Love the atmosphere here - could sit for hours and just read.
Seven and One Books
A little of everything, but where I usually go to for puzzle games like Hunt a Killer and other mystery case puzzle experiences
Target
Storytelling event, aligned with signature cocktail sampling and atmospheric experience. This pop-up experience has been a blast to go to every time they come to town

I come back to this often as a reminder that we weren’t built to live in fast forward, so why do we expect it of ourselves

Inspirational and faith grounded reading that speaks to spiritual growth and leadership learning
Max's books, find a complete list of books written by Max Lucado
My very first chapter book as a kid. It had a little bit of everything in it - adventure, puzzles/riddles, quick pacing, wit and humor, small bit romance, and mystery. I couldn’t put it down and it helped build my love for reading
The Forbidden Game #1-3
A book that continues to speak to each age. I found a hero in Atticus, and a heart-warming friend in Scout and other characters. So many quotes and general themes with great life lessons wrapped in
To Kill a Mockingbird: Lee, Harper: 9780446310789
In high school and college, these were a guilty pleasure to read
Harlequin : Books
I keep coming back to this book over and over - without fail, this book and the sequel are my most played audiobooks. The concept of a game being played with guests, and the killer being one of the guests playing, made for an interesting read, but t...
Whodunnit? Murder in Mystery Manor - Kindle
I’ve never heard of a romance from the perspective of a serial killer, let alone rooting for them. This book had a little of everything (especially one memorable moment you have to read to understand) - the humor and plot sucked me in and I finished...
Butcher & Blackbird (The Ruinous Love Trilogy, #1) by Brynne Weaver
I’ve enjoyed Nora Roberts, but her books written as JD Robb are amazing, too. I’ve fallen in love with the characters and world built from the “in Death” series.
In Death Series by J.D. Robb
This series is more of a YA series, but still solid storytelling and relatable no matter the age.
The world building of magic, knights, mages, and connection to the animals is engaging and I’ve enjoyed coming back to this book many times over the ye...
The Immortals book by Tamora Pierce

A mix of mystery, witty reading, logic puzzle, and deduction. These short puzzles are super engaging with funny descriptions and a building plot between puzzles.
Murdle: Volume 1: Karber, G T: 9781250892317
Loves these mystery cases and owned or have done every single one as they’ve come out. The company immerses you in the mystery with reading material that feels authentic, actual physical clues to touch and manipulate for certain puzzles, and keeps y...
Hunt A Killer
Escape room experiences are our family’s newest interest. Lots of reading, puzzle solving, and feeling of accomplishment when you figure it all out
Eye Spy Escape Room
These monthly boxes have a theme that carries for each month, plus have exposed me to new books and authors that have helped me in my spiritual journey. It’s uncanny how each theme matches to exactly what I need each month for growth, understanding,...
Faithbox
These have also been a favorite, especially logic puzzles and word seek puzzle books. Traveling wasn’t as boring with these to do in the back seat.

Anyone else write in their books?
I’m constantly adding notes, highlighting sections that are meaningful to me, or even jotting down research items to dig deeper into.
For all of that, you need a writing tool that doesn’t seep through your pages an...
