"But with friends, you design your own relationship, which in turn reigns your grief, which can be felt even deeper when they are gone. Those can be roots that are much harder to pull". Dave Grohl I grew up in a house of music. We weren't musically talented despite my father trying his hardest. (Didn't last more... 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. Little did I know, there is a lot more to this comedian than what meets the eye. His memoir... Continue Reading →
One thing I noticed when I first started reading this book is that for as much as I love reading historical books, they tend to be historical fiction instead of historical nonfiction. I must like that invisible unknowing line between reality and fiction. "The more you invest in a set of beliefs—the greater the sacrifice... Continue Reading →

One of the many reasons why I love to read books, and read as much as I do, is that I love reading about a life or story that is completely different than my own. To be transported into this person's shoes and see a whole different world that I could never imagine living. Whether... Continue Reading →
If I had my life a little more together I should've read this book before my trip to Alaska in June but that obviously did not happen. So here I am reading it over a month later. I'll try and remember that for future books but no promises. Hard to keep up with sometimes. This... Continue Reading →
