Simple Meals + Honest Book Reviews + Practical Living
Sometimes a good ‘ole ugly cry is all you need to cleanse the soul. And sometimes, the only way to do so is through a tear jerking book. A book that will leave you weeping (the ugly kind).

Ahh, it certainly has been a month of digging up my old favorites authors! I don’t know where this nostagia is coming from, considering I have a heafty list of new books I’m ready to read.

It’s been a great summer, albeit hectic. And to compliment that, I’ve read a handful of wonderful books that I’m very excited to share with you, and highly recommend you add to your reading list.
