2023-08-3118 minBook Thoughts for the SoulMad Honey ~ Jodi Piccoult (Book of the Month Review)This was a book on my TBR list that I had been recommended so many times. I have to say it did not let me down. You won't expect what's coming, either.

2023-05-1821 minBook Thoughts for the SoulBlood Sugar ~ Sascha RothchildHello, bookworms! I'm alive and well and here to bring you such an interesting thriller. This sparked my interest in finally reading the Dexter series since I've been saying I would, but not actually doing it, and I am so excited about the line up of thrillers I have for you all! As usual, this is also a video episode on my Youtube channel (linked on the website) and I mentioned my Amazon wishlist. I am linking my wishlist in case anyone wants to help me with some classroom stuff, but you absolutely do not have to. My kids...
2023-05-1126 minBook Thoughts for the SoulUpdate!Hi! I am alive and well, but adjusting to a new schedule has been hard. So, instead of a full length episode about a book, I updated you guys on the timelines that I'm working on and ask your humble opinions on getting a Kindle Paperwhite. I appreciate and love you all. Happy Thoughtful Thursday!
2023-04-2715 minBook Thoughts for the SoulThe Queen of Nothing ~ Holly Black (Folk of the Air B3)Hello, hello! If you've noticed, the website hasn't been updated with posts in a bit, but don't worry. I will catch up -- videos and audio explodes are easier to film, process, and go, but I haven't forgotten where we've started! Being a first time teacher of kiddos who have been without is time consuming, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
The website has all the updated social links as well as the new book channel on Youtube! https://soulfulbookthoughts.wordpress.com

2023-03-0934 minBook Thoughts for the SoulTribute to Sandy Staggs (February Book of the Month)This episode is quite different because I lost someone who was extremely important to me and to my community. Sandy Staggs was the founder and Artistic Director of Proud Mary Theatre Company in Spartanburg, SC, South Carolina's first and only LGBTQIA+ theatre. He found me right after I graduated college and I began working with him as stage manager. This show, Five Lesbians Eating a Quiche, I am stage managing and assistant directing. Our show will close this weekend, but we are still performing for Sandy. He would have wanted us all to go on. The future is uncertain...
2023-02-2823 minBook Thoughts for the SoulThe Swimmers ~ Julie OtsukaThis book is one that you will think about even after you've finished. It's introspective and beautiful in the first half, and thought provoking in the second. Each half of this book delivers something that must be said.

2023-01-2035 minBook Thoughts for the SoulThe Overnight Guest ~ Heather GudenkaufThis thriller is one that kept me reading because I had no idea what would happen next. As a person that guesses mystery or thriller plots easily, I was SHOCKED at the ending. If you listen or read the blog post and partake in spoilers, I would still say read this book! It's worth it.

2023-01-0540 minBook Thoughts for the SoulThe Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo ~Taylor Jenkins ReidThis book was one that I couldn't put down. I had to stay up until 6 am to finish this and have all secrets revealed! Evelyn and the cast of characters in this book will make you forget this is a work of fiction. Love, 7 husbands, and a great secret seem to make a perfect match for one hell of a life story.

2022-10-1334 minBook Thoughts for the SoulThe Slob ~Aron BeauregardIn my quest to find the most disturbing horror books, I came across The Slob in one of my book Facebook groups. This book gave me what I wanted, and some of what I didn't want, but I have found a new author that I must read everything he's ever written. Massive trigger warning for this episode because some parts may disturb some listeners.

2022-10-0639 minBook Thoughts for the SoulIt Ends With Us~ Colleen HooverI finally broke down and dove into the Colleen Hoover waters... it's been a little rocky, but today I want to talk about It Ends With Us and why so many people talk about it. The sequel, It Starts With Us, is available October 18th, 2022 so I can't wait to see how different (or similar) this one will be. Pre-order if you would like on Colleen Hoover's website or anywhere you get your books.
