Now she must attend the uber exclusive academy, where admission depends on pedigree, namely, ancestry from Zeus, Hera, and other Greek gods.

This book will have you laughing on the floor like crazy and wanting more. Tera Lynn Childs is a goddess with this book and you will love every second spent reading it.

Five Tips to Get Out of a Reading Slump

Writing Wednesday | "Rolling Hills and Mighty Mountains"

This is something I wrote for a contest of some type for figment.com. I just love this one a lot because it's based off a vacation I took years ago. Hope you all enjoy! It started out as any vacation would. A long car drive down the highway watching other cars zoom by and making shapes out of the clouds.
