This week I’ve been listening and reading a variety of literature that includes both Politics and Prose. I have a fiction and nonfiction book going via audiobook and I’m contemplating which physical book I’m going to read next. That can be a challenge because I usually like to have both the ebook and audiobook in […]

When I first saw the cover I immediately thought about the story, “Mary Belle and the Mermaid” in Her Stories: African American Folktales, Fairy Tales, and True […]
I am currently forcing myself to come for air from my current read, Within These Wicked Walls by Lauren Blackwood, to bring you Friday Night Highlights. Or in this case, I might need to rename it Weekend Reading Inspirations. I don’t visit haunted houses anymore, but I will read about a haunted house. If that […]
Today’s Throwback Thursday is for the Spooky Season lovers. So if you grew up as a pre-teen/teen in the nineties then I know there is a good chance that you have heard of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark by Alan Schwartz. I still have a hesitancy to look at the cover of that […]
