I stopped by the Wellington library the other day (yes, we go to multiple libraries all the time!). We stopped by to pick up the book Frindle for Hanna. She found the audiobook and wanted to be able to read along as she listened. As we were checking out, I noticed the Wellington Book Club … Continue reading
I’ve never read any of Danielle Steel’s books, until this one. His Bright Light is the story of her son Nick, and his battle with bipolar, and his subsequent suicide. This was a hard book to read.

I waited, and waited to read this book, until the Word of the Week, for the Year of Words Book Challenge was Happy. I was really excited to read this book, I love Jenny’s blog, I think she’s hilarious, and I just knew I was going to love the book… but I didn’t. Let … Continue reading
