I read The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood as a teenager and was impressed. It was well written and disturbing. Although, to be honest, I think some of it was over my head. Because of the hype from the Hulu series, (which I now need to see) I listened to the dystopian novel. The Handmaid’s […]
Every Breath reminded me of one of Nicholas Sparks’ earlier works, Message in a Bottle, how fate and the power of a letter can transform the roads one takes.

I’ve been looking for a loose leaf breakfast tea. Due to my newly discovered love for Rishi and the fact that it is from Milwaukee, I thought I would give it a try. Upon first sip I tasted bergamot instead of dates and raisin which was more reminiscent of an Earl Grey. I’m not a […]
