More thoughts inspired by Natalie Lloyd’s Hummingbird.

Natalie Lloyd is one of my favorite middle grade writers, and her new novel Hummingbird is absolutely beautiful.

I loved Gabrielle Zevin’s new book, Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow.

I’m reflecting today on my summer reading practices.

This is a post about finding joy in what you love.

I love Emma Straub’s writing, and This Time Tomorrow did not let me down. It’s a perfect start to your summer reading.

Unlikely Animals is one of my favorite books of the summer, and has me thinking about marriage.

I love Shauna Niequist. Today I’m trying a writing exercise in imitation of a piece of her beautiful new book, I Guess I Haven’t Learned That Yet.

I love rom-coms.

Shauna Niequist always inspires me to contemplation, but she’s maybe at her best when talking about food.

Andrew Peterson’s books make me think about my own stories.

Christmas reading has me nostalgic for Harry Potter.

The Reading List is a beautiful look at real life and how books help you through it.
