“The Last Hill” From Bob Drury and Tom Calvin

I’ve been struggling to keep up with the books I’ve been getting to review lately, which is a total first world problem, I know. When The Last Hill by Bob Drury and Tom Calvin showed up at my door and I noticed its November release date, I had an idea: ask my dad to reviewContinue reading ““The Last Hill” From Bob Drury and Tom Calvin”

Erin Lane is “Someone Other Than A Mother”

I don’t know of a woman on this planet who hasn’t been asked about settling down and having kids at least once. Is there a woman who hasn’t heard ‘when you have kids’ or been told they’d regret not having any? Well, Someone Other Than A Mother by Erin Lane might be a good fitContinue reading “Erin Lane is “Someone Other Than A Mother””

Zachary Levi on “Radical Love”

I love Zachary Levi. He’s a great actor, he’s hilarious, he’s good looking, and he’s open about his faith, and I appreciate all of it. Zach went on the Inside of You Podcast with Michael Rosenbaum and opened up about his struggle with mental health. An editor heard him sharing that story, and convinced himContinue reading “Zachary Levi on “Radical Love””

Nona Jones Is “Killing Comparison”

How many times a day do we compare ourselves to others, especially those we see on social media. I don’t want to think about it. Nona Jones is one of us in that regard, and is opening up about the struggle in her new book, Killing Comparison. I’d never heard of Nona before, but she’sContinue reading “Nona Jones Is “Killing Comparison””

Jodi Benson Shares “Part Of My World”

If I had a quarter for every time someone called me a mermaid due to my long, red hair, I’d have a good chunk of change. That’s largely due to Ariel and The Little Mermaid, which Jodi Benson voiced back when I was a wee child. Now, Jodi is giving us a little peek behindContinue reading “Jodi Benson Shares “Part Of My World””

Michael Schur’s How To Be Perfect

San Diego Comic Con is about a month away (as of the time of this writing) and I am getting all giddy about it. The reminiscing over conventions past put me in the mood to revisit a show I started watching to prepare for cast interviews and therefore fell in love with it: The GoodContinue reading “Michael Schur’s How To Be Perfect”

Mandy Hale’s “Turn Toward The Sun”

The last couple years have been tough for pretty much everyone, and we’re seeing more books hitting shelves as authors process that time on the page. Mandy Hale is no exception with her new release, Turn Toward The Sun. She’s known online as “The Single Woman”, but dating relationships aren’t the primary focus this timeContinue reading “Mandy Hale’s “Turn Toward The Sun””

Simu Lui’s “We Were Dreamers”

Buckle up, buttercups, because there’s a lot to unpack here. Simu Lui of Marvel’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings fame wrote a memoir and it is such a daggum journey. I first picked up We Were Dreamers because I was trying to get an interview with him for work for AAPI monthContinue reading “Simu Lui’s “We Were Dreamers””

“Embrace Your Almost” With Jordan Lee Dooley

I was first introduced to Jordan Lee Dooley when my book club opted for her first book, Own Your Everyday shortly after it was published in 2019. I listened to the entire audiobook while working at the bookstore… twice… in two days. It just hit right. Since then, I’ve listened to her podcast, SHE, prettyContinue reading ““Embrace Your Almost” With Jordan Lee Dooley”

Dave Grohl is “The Storyteller”

Fun fact about me: I saw the Foo Fighters in concert in 2008 or 2009 and had no idea who they were. I was fresh out of my homeschool bubble and my boyfriend insisted I go with his two best friends since he was sick that day. It was definitely an adventure and now IContinue reading “Dave Grohl is “The Storyteller””
