A Beautiful Book to Add to Your TBR
Hello everyone, it’s Mattie! It’s been raining a lot lately, so for my post this week, I thought I would recommend a nice cozy book to read during the stormy weather. The book is Thorn by Intisar Kahnani. I read this last fall and introduced it a little in our Fall TBR video, but basically, this book is a retelling of the fairytale The Goose Girl. I have never actually read the original Goose Girl story, but I have read quite a few retellings. This one is my favorite by far. The story starts out with the main character Alyrra who is the princess of a small country in a…

Things I’ve Been Enjoying Lately

Thinking of these highlights really helped me to remember all of the little blessings I’ve been receiving lately! Audiobooks – I’ve really liked listening to them as I exercise!

My Favorite Books this Year
Hello everyone! It’s Mattie. This week, I just wanted to share a few books that I’ve really enjoyed this year. The Sherwood Ring by Elizabeth Marie Pope ⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Newly orphaned Peggy Grahame is caught off-guard when she first arrives at her family’s ancestral estate. The house is full of mysteries and ghosts. Soon Peggy becomes involved with the spirits of her own Colonial ancestors and witnesses the unfolding of a centuries-old romance against a backdrop of spies and intrigue and of battles plotted and foiled.” This book was written in 1958 and has an almost dual timeline between then and Colonial New York. The synopsis sounds strange, but don’t let…
