It's not anything new when I talk about how much I loved Beneath a Scarlet Sky by Mark Sullivan. It's one of my top books of 2022 and top books in general. So when I saw that Sullivan had released another historical fiction, I was kind of both excited and skeptical about reading it as... Continue Reading →
It's quite possible I have now found my favorite restaurant in the Chicagoland area and dare I say even the entire country. From the moment I walked into The Foxtail, I knew that this place was going to be something great. I'm not sure how it came across my radar but I picked this place... Continue Reading →

It's June!! Probably one of my favorite months of the year. School is out, summer is here, it's my birthday month (subtle Meghan, very subtle) and it's the perfect Chicago weather month. It hasn't gotten to the crazy hot and humid July and August yet and we're (almost) 100% out of the weird, random super... Continue Reading →
I, like many others, probably only know Trevor Noah from his time on the Daily Show. I never really thought about his upbringing or what life was like for him while growing up in South Africa.
