The Quest for Holiness
This past Sunday, we celebrated Rosh Chodesh Elul. For those of you who don’t know, this is the final month of the Jewish calendar, and Rosh Chodesh is our celebration of the beginning of a new month. Thus, when we reach the month of Elul, things get crazy. Basically, imagine that you started getting ready for New Year’s Day (the January one) on December 1 by celebrating its upcoming arrival with a huge party. Then throw in a bunch of religious observances through the rest of December ...
WOMS: Daevabad Trilogy
This is hands down one of the best fantasy trilogies I've read. Ever. Sorry Sarah J.

Since then, it’s been sitting in my drafts box, waiting to be shared, and after publishing my special anniversary series along with my intermittent leave from posting, I have no idea where this ...
Pizza in the Rain Pt. III
Haven't read parts I or II? Click here to read before continuing on! I trembled as Justin pulled into the driveway. At last. Daniel burst out the doors and onto dry land without a second thought; Kevin glanced at us still in the front seats before following after him. They had the pizza. I sat still clutching my ginger beers before Justin nudged me again to get me to come inside. Reluctantly, I slunk out the vehicle and into the warm house where I hoped to bundle up and get cozy ...
