What was your favorite picture book as a kid?
A Sleepy Story The Little Golden Book 🙂

What was the first “real” book (with chapters and without pictures) you remember reading?
I always have been such a book worm that this is really hard for me to remember. But I know for sure I read every single Baby Sitter’s Club and every Nancy Drew, all the Ramona books, Judy Blume. I can’t remember for the life of me which was first.

What was your most favorite book in high school?
A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens

What was your least favorite book in high school?
The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck. In hindsight I now wonder if it was the book or perhaps the overwhelmingness of the AP US History course, but at any rate that one sticks out in my mind as not enjoying 🙂

What was the last novel you read?
Between the Sound and Sea by Amanda Cox. It’s her soon-to-be released novel and if you like lighthouses with a thread of mystery, definitely check it out.

What was the last nonfiction book you read?
Intuitive Editing by Tiffany Yates Martin. Loved it!

Which book lived up to the hype (from the past 1-2 years)?
The Extraordinary Deaths of Mrs. Kip by Sara Brunsvold. Mrs Kip is a character that makes you want to be better. Will definitely reread.

Which book do you love that needs more hype?
With Every Memory by Janine Rosche. I couldn’t put it down!

Emma’s Hero released in April, a Christian Romantic Women’s Fiction. Here’s the blurb:

“God won’t give me more than I can handle? I’m pretty sure He just did.”

After a year of loss and bad choices distance Emma Reynolds from her lifelong beliefs, she finds herself pregnant and alone at a twenty-week ultrasound, hearing the words “incompatible with life.” When her son, Theo, survives birth, she fights to give him the best care possible. As each day passes, Emma’s love for Theo grows—along with her fear of losing him. She can’t understand why God allows her son to suffer.

Seventeen-year-old blogger, Mason Hughes, feels lonely and worthless after his father left their family years ago. When he ignores his mother’s push to “contribute to society,” she volunteers him to help Emma each week. Wishing he’d applied for any other job, Mason has no choice but to grocery shop and practice his rusty social skills with a mother and son he doesn’t know.

Paramedic Ben Sullivan has earned himself the title of “most eligible” bachelor among his friends as they continually set him up on blind dates. While he’d love to avoid the uncomfortable events, his heart can’t help but seek the one thing missing in his life—a marriage like his parents have. If only he could find the woman himself.

As Theo’s tiny life connects them to each other, their loneliness breaks under the love of community, and they will never be the same.
