My Blog about stuff – family, sports, travel, and cooking.
My blog is almost like my journal. I keep track of my kids’ various activities, from Taekwondo to Soccer to Band. I also spend time writing about our various travels, whether to family or one of the many soccer events we attend. You might also find a good recipe, or two!
I was ready for another twisty psychological thriller, and Rock Paper Scissors by Alice Feeney definitely delivered. The premise grabbed me right away: an unhappy married couple, an isolated chapel in Scotland, a snowstorm, and an anniversary trip that neither of them seems particularly excited to…

This was my first book by Cate Quinn, and what an introduction! The Clinic pulled me into a world I haven’t encountered much in the thrillers I’ve read: an exclusive rehab facility filled with secrets, questionable treatments, unreliable memories, and people who may or may not be telling…
I’ve become a big fan of Ruth Ware, and One by One is another reason why. This book pulled me in almost immediately and kept me completely engrossed. A secluded chalet in the French Alps, an avalanche, a group of coworkers who don’t exactly trust each other, and then people start dying? Yeah, I was…
There are some dog breeds you like, and then there are the ones that completely steal your heart. For me, Basset Hounds fall firmly into that second category. They’re stubborn. They’re lazy. They shed more than you would think should be physically possible. Their ears are constantly finding their…
At this point, I’ve read nearly all of Freida McFadden’s books, so of course The Coworker was on my list. I clearly have a hard time saying no to one of her psychological thrillers! You can find The Coworker by Freida McFadden on Amazon, and you can also check out all of my Freida McFadden…
