Mac & Teri... *pauses* *shakes head* Okay. I want to start by saying I loved this book. Now... their marriage was a trip. Given his line of work, this makes perfect sense though. His personality and time away from home would naturally lead to this. *pauses* No spoilers. So, anyway, this story is not what... Continue Reading →
This book... Y'all... Drake LeVeq... I have honestly been sitting on this for several days. I finished the book and was in awe. I seriously considered heading to New Orleans to find this man's ancestors. Beverly Jenkins did an amazing job on this story. She slayed all the words. ALL OF... Continue Reading →
My idea of perfect happiness is a contradiction of sorts. Nothing is necessarily perfect. I think perfect happiness is decidedly imperfect. It is more a thing of me being content and have frequent periods of bliss & happiness. It means that my sad moments are not as often and short. It means having people in... Continue Reading →

There was no point in paying attention to the women pretending their tables were full and the men trying to clear a space for me. That had been... Continue Reading →

I've decided to attempt NaNoWriMo again. I have attempted it five times. I had been saying four but I forgot that first failed attempt. I have been successful twice but not in a row. Hopefully since I was successful last year I can keep it going, finally. My reason for doing it is to get... Continue Reading →
