1.)Anne of green gables! Honestly it's right now I need familiar, relatable,u weighty (is that a word?) and happy things so this is where I've landed.

2.) I've pretty much been off social media but I found a "small" youtuber named olivia Kathryn and I'm not sure why but her level of angst and rambling is my favorite.

ALSO old navy is muy bueno. Their online sales are pretty sick too

Perfect. Familiar and unweighty (it’s a word now) is a whole vibe. I’m constantly going back to Harry Potter when everything else feels overwhelming. I’ve never read the Anne books but I’m sure I would enjoy them.

I’ll check out Olivia Kathryn!

Congratulations!!!

I just finished the nightingale, and while a heavy read, it was really good. I just started American Dirt and I think I’m going to like it.

I have never heard of GMM.. I may have to lose myself down that rabbit hole. 😬

I'm reading "Monster She Wrote" about the women who wrote early monster and horror stories.

Melodrama is my favorite funny person on Instagram for some good natured B-movie roasting. Her DIY home decorating/improvement projects are fun to follow and emulate.

Fascinating. I don’t like to read horror but I’m very interested in the people who write it and why they enjoy it.

Just finished Obama's memoir and it was good!! Not exactly light reading. Am reading Ida B the Queen right now and it's soo fascinating . I need another good fiction book tho! I loved reading the screen play for Greta 's little women ...that book is always my "go to" comfort book

Trevor ready about 3/4 of that but then skipped to the end. It was so long he lost heart πŸ˜† Ida B sounds super interesting. I’m always going back to Harry Potter when I need something familiar, but Little Women is a great re read. The other classic I’ve read several times is Rebecca. Just the right amount of spooky suspense and romance.

I love GMM! Thanks to my adult sons. I’m so happy son # 3 is here happy and healthy! I love your writing, You and Trevor will have to take the boys to the drive through. Animal park in Glen Rose, Texas. It’s about an hour from Fort Worth. I think it called Fossil Rim. I miss your beautiful voice and Trevor’s worship!! ❀️❀️❀️❀️❀️

-Reading the complete collection of Maya Angelou’s poetry, Primal Fire, and a biography of Rose Wilder Lane. It’s been a good trio to rotate with!

-Morgan Presley on Insta & TikTok keeps me sane! She’s so funny and I dont have to use any mental energy to enjoy.

Written by Neil Cole. He examines a lot of the issues in the American evangelical church, and what Scripture actually says!
