When I first posted a picture of this new read on Instagram, a friend from college messaged me and told me she had read the novel in a book club and that she enjoyed it. I had never heard of it before that day, which amazed me. There are so many writers out there and …

Watch Me Disappear
There are a few things in life that get me super giddy and books are one of them! A few weeks back, I thought I was going on a morning coffee date with my sweet hubby, but all of a sudden, he whipped the car into the Houston Public Library – Heights location. For weeks, …
