Today is one of my kiddos’ birthdays, and she is 11. So in her honor, these are 11 middle-grade books that I have loved to read as an adult: 1 – Princess Academy trilogy by Shannon Hale.

I’ve never been much of a podcast listener, but that’s changed a lot over the past year. And is it just me, or is it that every time I turn around, someone else has started a podcast.

Actually … we are all about the STORIES contained in books. Books would just be stacks of paper if it wasn’t for theContinue reading “5 memoirs to read”
