Review: Stolen by J.M. Johnson
Some monsters aren’t meant to be caged. Especially when they find each other. I just finished Stolen by J.M. Johnson and honestly? What a ride.

Welcome to the Corrupt Carnival—a realm built for the misfits, the castaways, the powerful few who refuse to bow to fear. In Ringmaster and Rebellion, the latest installment of T.R.

Flipping the Script: Choosing Growth Over Comfort
I’ve spent a lot of time lately thinking about the way we limit ourselves. How we use words like can’t, impossible, and not for me as if they’re facts written in stone. And if I’m being honest, I’m guilty of it too. More than I want to admit. We box ourselves in because it’s safe.…

When Escapes Become Habits: A Reflection on Reading and Recovery
I’m a bookworm, a fiancé, a mom, a little bit of a chaos gremlin — and I’m a person in long-term recovery. This September, I’ll be celebrating 15 years clean. Fifteen years since I put down the heroin and meth, and started trying to rebuild a life I wasn’t even sure I wanted to save…
