January Reading ReCap

January was a bit of a slow reading month if you look at number of books completed, but, given that these were both audio books if you look at hours listened it was a bit of a marathon with nearly 60 hours of listening time combined. I started off the month listening to Sand: Omnibus …

My Favorite Reads in 2014

I consider myself a reader, a lover of books, a bibliophile. My first job was at a library, and my Master's Degree is in Library and Information Sciences. That being said, you might think that I read all the time - that I rack up books like some people rack up speeding tickets. And, for …

May Reading Recap

So it appears that the Spring and Summer months are shaping up to be slow reading months around here - and that makes sense to me. In the Winter, the lack of sunshine definitely brings me down, and books make a great escape when I can't get outside to work in the garden or soak …

March & April Reading ReCap

March and April were extremely slow reading months around here - and I only managed to finish 3 books, 2 of which were audio books. But, let me just say, I am now utterly addicted to Audible and audiobooks in general. I have at least a 45 minuted commute to and from work 5 days …

Feb. Reading Recap

February has been another good month for reading, a surprisingly good month; especially considering I haven't had as much time to read this month as I did last month. I’ve been able to bust through a good portion of my to-read list, though. So, once again, I thought it might be a good time to …

Love Out Loud

“Evangelicalism has taken the Extrovert Ideal to its logical extreme...If you don't love Jesus out loud, then it must not be real love. It's not enough to forge your own spiritual connection to the divine; it must be displayed publicly.” ― Susan Cain, Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking

Stories

“After nourishment, shelter, and companionship, stories are the thing we need most in the world.”  ~ Philip Pullman Tonight I'm working on sharing a few of my stories. I've got a mini-book started just for Jäger (yep, I'm officially and unashamedly that girl) and other book for the Find Your Voice Workshop. I'll be sharing my Find …

Wednesday Reading List

This week I've stumbled across a ton of awesome reads on the interwebs and decided to share some of my sources of inspiration with you. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do! Jamie the Very Worst Missionary shared honest post about finding the Sanctuary in the Church - definitely a must read …

Life after Art: A Review

A little over a month ago, I opened my mail to find this gem of a book by Matt Appling. I fully intended to have posted my review by now, but, as life would have it, it took me longer to finish than I expected. That's not to say the book was bad, or didn't …
