January Books-of-the-Month Club

Ruler of Books Tag
Wielding authority over others' reading tastes is too much power for one person...but I'll gladly take on the mantle. What book would you make everyone read? I want EVERYONE to read Pure. I do know some ladies who (from the outside) appear to have had a positive church experience. These women are often docile, gender-conforming,… Continue reading Ruler of Books Tag

Jenna tagged me in this visually-inspired book tag. I found out last year that - surprise, surprise - I learn visually after years of claiming to be an auditory processor.
