Making our way through life with a love of books, coffee and Jesus.

Okay. I want to get into a rant about how amazing and important this book is right away, but I know I need to take a breath and let ya'll know what this is about first. Ivy Aberdeen's Letter to the World is about thirteen-year-old Ivy and her family's road to recovery after a tornado... Continue Reading →
As a kid, I was always taught to treat others the way I'd like to be treated. That took me through my adolescence since the only thing I really had to think about then was treating everyone with kindness. I always asked before I played with someone else's toys, I made sure to tell my... Continue Reading →
If you follow us on Instagram, then you would know I have officially decided to read all of Stephen King's books in chronological order. If you don't know me though, you may not know why that is. This post marks the start of my challenge, which means I'll be telling you why I'm doing this,... Continue Reading →
So I just figured out my favorite BookTuber of all time (BooksAndLala) is reading Supermarket at some point this year, and I'm so excited because I have so many feelings about this one. I want to see how she'll respond to it because this doesn't seem like her typical genre at all, but Supermarket is... Continue Reading →
Even in a lavish theater, the graffiti-esque back drop, homemade looking columns, and multi-use scaffolds didn't feel out of place. It felt like that actors weren't actors at all, and that they were just the characters themselves that had leapt out of the book. The enjoyment of theater didn't feel like a past-time for the rich; it felt accessible for people of all ages and demographics. It felt real.
Hello Audience! It's been a hot minute since I've posted on here, but I hope you'll forgive me! Summer and Fall have been hella busy, filled with vacations, engagements, health issues, jobs, and so much more. Don't worry, though! All is well for my family and me, and I am finally getting back into the... Continue Reading →
I'll admit: I read this book entirely because of the hype surrounding the author. Well actually, let me take a step back. I first heard about Emma Mills from a girl I went to high school with. She followed Emma on Twitter and was really into her books, and she entered a giveaway for her... Continue Reading →
I know November is usually the month to remember what we're thankful for, but I've noticed some trends in myself recently that made me want to take stock a little early. I've spent so much time stressing over the things that have gone wrong the past few months that I haven't had nearly enough time... Continue Reading →
Furthermore was one of my most anticipated reads when it first came out, so when I found it at my local used bookstore, I honestly freaked out a little. The bookstore I was at sold a mix of new and used books, and I figured there was no way Furthermore would be available used since... Continue Reading →
This article goes into my struggles with food and includes some slight mentions of disordered eating. If that's a topic that will make you uncomfortable in any way, I recommend avoiding this post. My bad relationship with food began in elementary school. I had a friend I would play on the playground with every day,... Continue Reading →

In the year 2045, reality is an ugly place. The only time teenage Wade Watts really feels alive is when he’s jacked into the virtual utopia known as the OASIS. Wade’s devoted his life to studying the puzzles hidden within this world’s digital confines, puzzles that are based on their creator’s obsession with the pop culture of decades past and that promise massive power and fortune to whoever can unlock them. When Wade stumbles upon the first clue, he finds himself beset by players willing to kill to take this ultimate prize.
