Book Review: A Very Typical Family by Sierra Godfrey | The Importance of Never Losing Hope
Natalie’s been passed up for a promotion, lives with a clingy best friend, and dating a man that’s B-O-S-S-Y (always making decisions for her). I didn’t want to be with her in this moment. Let’s be real. It sucked (lol).
Road to Review – Mrs. Wiggins (Lexington, Alabama #1) – Chapters 1-4
Come see. I have something to say about chapters 1 through 4 of Mrs. Wiggins. Will this marriage last? How long will their marriage be believable before someone finds out that it doesn’t operate like a traditional marriage?
Book Review: A More Perfect Union by Tammye Huf | Love Knows No Bounds
A More Perfect Union is a 2020 historical fiction novel inspired by the union of the author’s great-great-grandparents, an Irish immigrant and an African American slave. It was surprising and had its challenges, but overall proved to be an inspiring love story, supporting the notion that Love knows no bounds.
Book Reaction – For Lamb by Lesa Cline-Ransome
If you liked Mildred D. Taylor’s, Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry, then you are sure to enjoy Lesa Cline-Ransome’s, For Lamb. So I did.
Piñata by Leopoldo Gout | What Did I Just Read
I read Piñata by Leopoldo Gout for a book club and here are my thoughts. I liked the prologue of this book. I will mention that more than once in this review. It was so impactful and set up the scene for a great story. Based on the prologue alone, I was convinced that the story would build around it and be more fleshed out.
Road to Review – Mrs. Wiggins (Lexington, Alabama #1) – Chapters 22-25
Phew. These chapters were something else y’all. Daisy is continuously dragging the Wiggins family name through the mud and Oswald finally makes his first on-page appearance. How much can Maggie continue to bear before she completely cracks under the pressure?
Book Reaction – Underneath the Sycamore Tree by B. Celeste
Get your tissue ready. Underneath the Sycamore Tree is a heartbreaking exploration of reinforcing familial relationships heavily strained by invisible diseases and the harsh realities of them when someone is diagnosed with one.
Homecoming Chaos | Chaotic, But Home Is Where the Heart Is
D. W. Brooks’s Homecoming Chaos is as its name implies. It’s a homecoming full of chaos that culminates into a story worth reading. I thoroughly enjoyed this romantic suspense and look forward to reading more from this author.
Stumbled On – Cameron Battle and the Hidden Kingdoms
The tweet in this facebook post recently came across my feed, so I decided to pick up the author’s book. Luckily, the audiobook was available at my library and you all….it’s REALLY good so far. It’s been such a long time since I’ve reached for a middle grade series.

We Knew All Along by Mina Hardy, follows the trials, tribulations, and trepidations of stay-at-home mom and wife, Jewelann Jordan. Jewelann dolls herself up, putting on airs, to vie for the attention of a high school fling, Christian Campbell. She thinks her presence is reminding him of what he could have had. Amid the compliments and attention, little does she know that that wasn’t all she’s getting from this one night of playing catch-up.
