The Great Weather Diviner: The Untold Origin of Punxsatawney Phil- Book Review
I absolutely love books that spark conversation. Books that will not only engage young readers, but also educate them and make them think. The Great Weather Diviner: The Untold Origin of Punxsatawney Phil does exactly that…and it does it so well. Not only is this book a new take on the legend of Punxsatawney Phil, but it is an epic adventure story, it is a story of community, it is about the power we each have within us to bring forth change, and it is a dedicated story about being environmentally conscious. Let’s chat! The Great Weather Diviner: The Untold Origin of Punxsatawney Phil I wanted to start off by…

The Curse of Penryth Hall- Gothic Mystery at it’s Finest

Book Outlet- My Favorite Discount Book Site!
I love buying books. It is my guilty pleasure. I don’t buy a lot of clothes…or purses…or shoes. But books? I just can’t stop. I would definitely classify myself as both a reader of books and an OWNER of books. They are two completely separate hobbies and I love them both. But…books are expensive! So, one of my fave ways to score books at a super discounted rate is through Book Outlet. Book Outlet is my go-to for great quality books at super low prices! Have you ever tried them out? Let’s chat! The Scoop on Book Outlet I discovered Book Outlet just over 3 years ago. A fellow bookstagrammer…

Practice Makes Perfect is Perfection
Apparently my whole “I don’t read romance novels” shtick is about to go out the window. Because, as it turns out, I do. I read them…and…I like them. Ok, probably not ALL of them…and if they are super cheesy or eye-rolly with Fabio on the cover I will still take a pass…BUT…books like Practice Makes Perfect? Yeah, I can get on board with romance novels like this. I absolutely adored this book. Practice Makes Perfect was perfection from beginning to end. Let’s chat! Practice Makes Perfect Ok, so, I didn’t pick this book out by myself. It was included in a subscription box that I received from the amazing folks…
