I’ve been a Janet Evanovich fan ever since she was, seemingly randomly, on my sophomore summer reading list. I’m 30 now, and I still find enjoyment reading the wacky adventures of Stephanie Plum, and Plum Spooky was no exception. Read my full #book talk here:

On the inside of the house, we're watching Twin Peaks, it's a nice 75 degrees, the sun hits the blinds just right, and my coffee is nice and warm. On the outside, it's a high of 95 degrees, the trees are still green, and I'm still wearing shorts! Fall, where art thou?

The world is rough right now. I know there's good news, but the bad news weighs heavy on my heart and mind everyday. But as I rock my daughter to sleep, I'm reminded that there is love and goodness in the world, we just have to keep looking for it, sticking up for it, and do the best we can.
