How much time ya got?
What books do you want to read? All the books. 😁 I want to read…all…the…books! But really, who has time for that? I keep my TBR list on Goodreads. Right now it’s a manageable 18 books. You can see it here…send me a friend request and we can talk books. Light & Love, Lori

Time
The greatest gift anyone has ever given me was their time. Time is priceless. There is never enough time in our day-to-day lives. It is gold when a person gives me even a moment to speak with me. Furthermore, if someone gives me hours of their life to read one of my stories, that is…

The Phone Booth at the Edge of the World by Laura Imia Messina
This story is heart-ripping and amazing. There’s quite a lot of tragedy but by the time you reach the end of the story, you will be glad that you’ve read it. This is a book you will think about for a long time after you’ve finished it. The “Wind Phone” exists in real life and that gives…

The Map of Enough
This book wonderfully written is an interesting look at one woman’s struggle to find her place in history. It makes you think about why we attribute so much to where we were raised and where we are from when establishing ourselves as adults. Molly and her soon to be husband Chris move to Montana on…

Spare
Like many Americans I have a fascination with the British royals. The idea of a queen or king is romantic to us because we don’t have one. Little girls want the fairytale. Unfortunately, reality is far from a romantic fairytale. I hesitated to read Spare because of what I thought I knew of Prince Harry…

Unexpected Adventure
Are you seeking security or adventure? How ironic! This is my first post in a series about books and reading. The first book I planned to talk about is The Hobbit! A hobbit is a perfect example of the struggle between security and adventure. My favorite thing about the story of Bilbo Baggins is that…
