| My book crush of the week goes to K.A. Barson's fabulous debut, a contemporary YA called 45 Pounds (More or Less). I wish this book had been around for Teen Me - and all the girls who've struggled at some point in their lives with body issues. Puberty wasn't kind to me. Like main character Ann Galardi, I put on a lot of weight. I hated gym class, especially running. Growing a few inches taller helped, but I wasn't really comfortable with my body until I started to get into sports. Taking up swimming and later figure skating made me feel good because it re-focused me on all the amazing things my body could do. Other things I loved about this book? Shy Jon, who likes Ann for who she is inside. Raynee and the many other well-developed secondary characters. Aunt Jackie and her bride's awesome wedding vows. And too many things I don't want to share here because I'll spoil the book! |

I ordered a job spell on a Friday night and on Monday the place I applied for a job called for me to come by their office. They gave me the job I applied for and made me an offer of more per hour than I have ever made in my life! I am so happy! Government jobs sometimes are a slow process.

My ex-husband and I had always managed to stay friendly after our divorce in February 2017. But I always wanted to get back together with him, All it took was a visit to this spell casters website last December, because my dream was to start a new year with my husband, and live happily with him.. This spell caster requested a specific love spell for me and my husband, and I accepted it. And this powerful spell caster began to work his magic. And 48 hours after this spell caster worked for me, my husband called me back for us to be together again, and he was remorseful for all his wrong deeds. My spell is working because guess what: My “husband” is back and we are making preparations on how to go to court and withdraw our divorce papers ASAP. This is nothing short of a miracle. Thank you Dr Emu for your powerful spells. Words are not enough. Leave a Reply. |
Reflections on Writing
I love few things better than a bottomless to-read list of books and firmly believe the world has room for all the stories we want to share. This blog is intended to provide resources and spark discussion about improving writing. Opinions are my own and not intended to discredit anyone else's work, only to open conversation. Thanks for reading!
