The Story Keeper by Kelly Rimmer

I was recently able to listen to The Story Keeper by Kelly Rimmer compliments of NetGalley. It took me a little while to come around, but I ended up loving it. A book that tells the history of the lives of the main character’s family within a story of a woman discovering her family’s history? […]

Wishlist

You’re probably here because you want to buy a gift for me. I used to use Amazon for many, many things.

Choices, choices

Picking out a new phone is always an ordeal for me. My perspective changes based on how I’m using my current phone and how it’s responding to its current use. Currently I’m using my Google Pixel 2. It’s a great phone. Most of the time it’s snappy (still) and it handles most of what I […]
