I love other people’s Friday tradition of curating their week’s favorite reads from around the internet so I thought I’d give it a try myself. Here are some of the pieces that got me thinking this week… I love Book Riot for their podcasts and for their posts about all things books. This week, I […]
Read moreI read Gretchen Rubin‘s latest book, Better than Before, a few months ago and learned that I am an abstainer. Moderation is really, really tough for me.

Read moreToday I am joining Anne at Modern Mrs. Darcy for her monthly reading link-up, Quick Lit. The Sacred Lies of Minnow Bly by Stephanie Oakes.
