I’ve Stopped Supporting Book Riot and Here’s Why You Should Too

I don’t normally write posts like this because I prefer to make people laugh and find joy in reading and normal everyday life. However, over the past several weeks, the actions of a company I once admired have forced me to come out against them.

Ranking My Favorite Romance Series on the Scoville Scale of Spiciness

What I Read When Something Terrible Happened

Two weeks ago I got a text that no child wants to get. Dad. Rushed to Hospital. Chest Pains. Significant. This isn’t our first rodeo with my dad’s heart condition, but this one felt different for some reason. It felt more significant, it felt scarier, and, quite frankly, it felt urgent. So my brother and I left to visit our parents out-of-state. Thankfully, my dad is doing well and on the mend. This post is about the books I read while dealing with my dad’s open heart surgery.
