Love in Hallowed Spaces by Beatrice Pobre. While the cheating trope isn't my go-to and the text could use a bit more proofreading polish, that plot twist made it worth sticking around for! 🤯

​It’s ambitious and shows potential. Give it a shot if you love supporting local literature and being surprised by a story line!

The moment you stop trying to fit every mold is the moment things start making sense...and yes in the end people will judge you anyway. So live life on your own terms. 🤍

Unplugged, cozy, and currently moving at my own pace. 🌿🤍

I love the rain. But the ones that are quiet and slow and soft. So I'm thankful that today it has finally stopped after several days of non-stop pouring. Tonight is just quiet and is perfect for a good read.

Haven't been reading as much the whole week. I can't focus because of some issues. So that's when I find art meditation that helps me express my thoughts and emotions that are flooding my mind. It's a liberating thing to do that I initially thought i didn't have the patience for. Tonight, I gather enough enthusiasm to start a new read; How To Stop Time. 🩵

They say raising children starts with understanding ourselves first. So I'm ending the month by diving into Parenting from the Inside Out with a cup of tea on this rainy day. It’s a continuous journey of unlearning old habits and building new ones, one chapter at a time. ✨

I love the rain. There's something about it that soothes my soul. I hope you're also enjoying it as much as I do. If not I also hope that you're okay and that you have your umbrella with you.

Unpopular opinion? I actually like my Kindle screen ads. 📖✨

​While I completely get why some readers prefer a totally ad-free screen (and I respect that!), I’ve viewed mine less like an "ad" and more like a personal curation tool. It’s genuinely given me ideas for my favorite "next read" when I didn't know what to pick up next.

​How do you feel about Kindle ads—are they a distraction or a recommendation engine for you?

Imagine floating in open water after a shipwreck, praying for rescue—and then a stranger climbs aboard claiming to be God. Would you believe him?

​I just finished The Stranger in The Lifeboat by Mitch Albom, and it completely hooked me. Profound, poignant, and hard to put down.

Waking up at 5am doesn't just mean prepping breakfast for my school boy — it also means continuing the chapter from the night before.

Is your faith strong enough that you don't really worry about anything?

There’s something so special about finding an author whose writing just clicks with you. Mitch Albom is growing in me. Equal parts spiritual, exciting, and impossible to put down. What are you reading this week?
