I read in multiple genres, and I like reading stories that include characters who I dislike, or even hate. In a contemporary Christian Romance (CCR) I’m okay with disliking characters as long as they aren’t the hero or heroine.

Many of her classes are online, and university in 2023 is different to my own experiences in […]

December is one of my favorite months of the year. The Christmas season is here, summer has arrived, our school year ends, and we move into the January holiday period. Our Christmas tree is not up yet because we’re painting our living and dining room area. This means my home is a bit chaotic at […]

Happy Sunday! We hope our American readers enjoyed a lovely and blessed Thanksgiving. I will admit, being an Aussie, I’m intrigued by the traditional Thanksgiving recipes and photos that are everywhere on social media at this time of year. I regularly watch cooking videos on YouTube that I justify as not being a procrastination activity […]
