    My sister HIGHLY recommended The Selection series to me and I have downloaded a sample. I am hoping to read that too this summer. I hope I will be able to! The Summer I Turned Pretty was SO amazing! I don't think I ever read a book about two siblings liking the same girl. I love who she ended up with and was rooting for them from the get go! So glad it ended the way it did! You seem to like the same genre of books as me so I will DEF be adding the books you recommended on your want to read list to mine too! I love a good YA novel =)

      Yay Molly!!! I'm so happy you'll find some new books. I'll warn you though, they are in the Young Adult section…because we're all young adults, right?!

    Just remembered a good book you might like: Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs. Uses vintage odd photos to tell an unusual story. There's 2 books in the series so far, but I would expect a third one to be coming. It's a really good book!

I'm prepping for a family seder (the Passover dinner) tonight, and I cannot wait to share this holiday and its importance and make family traditions with my daughter and husband!

The song playing is the background is Dayenu which means "it would have been enough" - it is a song of gratitude for each thing G-d did to help the Hebrews (Jews) and as they fled Egypt.

Something else we say at the end of seder: Next Year in Jerusalem! ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ Chag Sameach, Happy Passover!

  • On a low carb diet and can't have potatoes? Don't like raw radishes? Try roasted radishes instead! Learn all about radishes and how this roasted radishes recipe is a great substitute for potatoes. Once roasted, these fresh radishes lose their spicy, peppery flavor and taste great with a dollop of sour cream!
