    • Discovering The Winter Sea by Susanna Kearsley

      This week, I am reading The Winter Sea by Susanna Kearsley. It is another book I found at the thrift store, and I found to my delight that the writing is bold as the…

    • The Empty House & Discovering Rosamunde Pilcher

      If a story is good, if it has the author’s heart in it, the reader will never forget the day the book was read.
