I totally paused!

Bless and Release By Tracy Brogan One of my 2012 Golden Heart sisters coined the phrase, “Bless and release.” It was a random comment she made with regard to sending off a query letter. She didn’t realize how that simple little statement of her philosophy would snag in my memory and become a sort of [… Read More]

Starring: Owen Wilson, Rachel McAdams, Kathy Bates, & Tom Hiddleston My Review: I’ve had Midnight in Paris on my Netflix list for awhile, but became more encouraged to bump it up on the list after recently reading The Paris Wife.  I found myself a bit enchanted with the time period and wanted to experience more of it, much [… Read More]

I was lucky enough to get an ARC of this book, and since I knew nothing about it at first, I was pleasantly surprised from the moment I opened it.  To say I really enjoyed this book would be an understatement.  And I hate to sound like other reviews out there by drawing similarities to [… Read More]

Starring Keri Russell, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, & Freddie Highmore Two wickedly musical people get together for one night, and it starts a huge journey for one young boy – the boy they didn’t even know about.  He’s gifted with the same music abilities of his parents, and is convinced he will find them if only [… Read More]
