Book Review: Get Out of Your Head

TW: discussions on demon possession and mental illness As a person who struggles with anxiety, this book made me feel seen. There is a lot of scripture that you can use to help you overcome thoughts that pop into your head. You can’t control what pops into your head,...

The Picture of Dorian Gray

TW: Suicide, language describing POC/BIPOC, murder, and drugs This is an interesting book. Oscar Wilde is an interesting author.  I’m not sure how I feel.  At the same time, I’m happy that I read the book.  To me, it starts slow and things begin to pick up in chapter...

Thank You for Rejecting Me

If you never heard of The Heart of Dating podcast or attended one of their conferences, you may not be familiar with Kait Warman. Through this book, you will.  Kait’s vulnerability throughout the book is refreshing. This isn’t just some self-help book that tells you to do this and...

Book Review: Red Queen

Book Review: A Court of Thorns and Roses

This book wretched me in the best possible way.  Feyre is a BOSS and I love her! I don’t want to, but I adore Rhysand. There’s something about him that’s intriguing and I don’t know what it is.  Tamlin…he’s hiding something and I want to know what it is....
