A Deep Love

Finishing Thoughts
Each book in this series was a challenge in different ways to read. Not to mention, the time I needed to therapeutically air out my emotions and thoughts swirling around from the story.

Finishing a Book
Do you have to take time to ponder what you have read? Reading through the Carthage Books again, I have lost count on whether it is my 3rd or 4th time through. The poignancy of the book takes a while to settle on me. Decisions have consequences and you have to either be really dumb…

Bittersweet Trinkets
The world seems so different. Until I was literally around a month from my 14th birthday the light switch was turned on. Losing someone had a deeper meaning to me.
