What's YOUR Origin Story?
Hi! I’m participating in It’s Monday, What are YOU Reading? Hosted by the Book Date. It’s been quite a while since I participated in this, and I really missed it!
As I’ve been busy with some home stuff, and haven’t had too much time to update. Which is sad. BUT we’re almost done cleaning out the garage, and that will be a huge weight off my back.

State of the Shelf 2020: Hits, Misses, & Everything in Between
2020 did a number on a lot of people. But, honestly, despite its ups and downs, I ended up a lot better off than when I started the year. And I’m NOT just talking about my awesome reading this year.
I set off setting my Goodreads goal for 2020 at 250, and I ended up SURPASSING that goal by a LOT!
Hello!
As you may or may not know, there are a few things I tend to do annually here on the blog.
Christmas trees on Parade is one of them.
Our awesome hostess, from Christmas Tree Lane, does a great job of wrangling us up. This year is no exception.
I decided to do things a bit differently, as 2020 has been a very ‘different’ type of year.
We’re not doing a typical Christmas tree–so I decided to combine the books that have meant things to me this year into a book tree.
ABOUT THE BOOK:
After her father’s death, Ruth Robb and her family transplant themselves in the summer of 1958 from New York City to Atlanta—the land of debutantes, sweet tea, and the Ku Klux Klan. In her new hometown, Ruth quickly figures out she can be Jewish or she can be popular, but she can’t be both. Eager to fit in with the blond girls in the “pastel posse,” Ruth decides to hide her religion.
