A resolution I make every year is to read 52 books a year (a book a week). These last two years I’ve kind of slacked off due to dramatic life changes. In 2015, I plan on getting back on track. While perusing Pinterest, I saw that Popsugar had pinned this reading challenge from their site….
One of the items on my bucket list is to read all of Anne Rice’s novels. I’ve read many, but not all of her works. When I finally read Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt, I started to rethink keeping this wish to read all of her books on my bucket list. From darkness comes light…
It’s the final days of summer. With only 3 days remaining before we officially kick start our autumn mentality, here are a few books worth picking up during your last few days of relaxation. Half-Broke Horses I’m not a lover of Westerns, but imagine looking at it through the eyes of a woman. Then imagine…
Coffee table books, especially large books of art, are never cheap. Finding the right one for your home when there are so many to choose from may seem a little daunting at first. Then when you’re at the bookstore and find just the right book, it’s either too big to carry home or the price…
Today we remember D-Day. June 6, 1944. Seventy years ago today, the end of World War II began in the Battle of Normandy.

He was in France at the time (as a soldier), but did…
I received this letter (hand-delivered) through someone that had read my blog post about “The Case of A*.” I was really surprised to read this letter (or to have received it). It brought a tear to my eye. I just pray that poor A* will get the help he really needs in the justice system…
There is a family court case I’ve been following for the past year. This case goes all the way back to the time A* was 2 years old. He is now 11 years old. His parents never married, but they have been in a constant custody battle for the past 9 (going on 10) years….
Ok, everybody..don’t kill me for asking this, but I need some help with a summer project I’m working on. I’ve enlisted a couple of friends to help me, but I thought I would see if by posting something this would get more responses. I was Googling the ‘greatest love stories of all time’ and came…
I just finished reading “The Septembers of Shiraz” by Dalia Sofer. It really made me think a lot about religion, privileges and circumstances. I’ve learned over the past few years that it is difficult to be friends with people that are not in the same class as you financially. The main reason has a lot…
