To the Farthest Shores

May 31, 2017May 31, 2017 pursuingstacieLeave a comment

I was pretty excited about reading this book. (i.e. it had a really pretty cover and a popular author that was new to me.) So let me preface by saying this: The writing was wonderful. I loved the way Elizabeth Camden brought her characters to life, the way she set up a scene and the… Continue reading To the Farthest Shores

We Stood Upon Stars

May 30, 2017May 30, 2017 pursuingstacie3 Comments

Right around this time of year, my wanderlust kicks into over-drive. Summer vacation has arrived; lazy mornings, time spent reading, evenings in the garden and plenty of time to daydream about road trips. But with five kids, a car that isn’t big enough for all of us, and a tight budget, travel plans are difficult… Continue reading We Stood Upon Stars

Instagram Peace with PLANN

Friends, I have found the lost city of Atlantis. I really enjoy Instagram. I love when you find a feed that is cheerful and intentional. Have you seen those? They flow, they’re bright and colorful, and each picture is posted with the overall grid in mind. I have wanted a feed like this for ages,… Continue reading Instagram Peace with PLANN

The Girls of Ennismore

May 24, 2017May 24, 2017 pursuingstacieLeave a comment

Follow me on Bloglovin’! Downton Abbey. Got your attention, didn’t I? Yep. If you loved Downton Abbey as much as I did, you have to read this book. I picked this book up because I loved the cover (yes, I am that girl) and because the blurb sounded pretty intriguing. I figured that this would be a book… Continue reading The Girls of Ennismore

You Are Free

May 12, 2017May 18, 2017 pursuingstacie1 Comment

Follow my blog with Bloglovin Lately, I have been on a fiction kick. I just want good, in-depth stories that I can sink into at the end of the day. (Or while the kids are busy chowing down at snack time.) So, I confess, I wasn’t all that excited about another “self-help” book. Curious, yes!… Continue reading You Are Free

Dark Heart

May 11, 2017May 14, 2017 pursuingstacieLeave a comment

I have mentioned to you before how much I love Historical Fictions set in Ancient Rome. (Like this one!!) I have also mentioned how unbelievably picky I am about said books, and here’s why: I have found, more often than not, that the book will have a modern storyline set in an ancient time, with no real… Continue reading Dark Heart

King’s Blood

You guys, I have been so excited to tell you about this book! Also, this review is way overdue. But I have a really good reason for that!
