The Monthly Chapter | August 2022

Aug. 01, 2022

August Monthly Chapter Updated 2025

Welcome to The Monthly Chapter for August 2022. This month we have a lot going with reviews and some other work. I am actually also working on a new look for the site. That will happen in the next couple of months. Don’t worry things aren’t going wild. Just getting a little refresh to make it look more how I envisioned to begin with.

For those who have emailed me recently, the newsletter has gone away. It is just one of the things I have been evaluating with the blogs and the direction I want to head in with them.

Reading This Month


PLEASE NOTE SOME OF THESE BOOKS MAY BE ARCS (ADVANCED READING COPIES) AND NOT YET AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE.

    My reading plans and goals have gone wayyy down since having kids. My aim is for one book a month. I think I’ll come up a little shy this month, but that’s ok. I’m currently about halfway through a book called fight night.

    I’m having a hard time reading because of chronic illness, but I grabbed some CS Lewis audiobooks to try along with “Winning The War in Your Mind” by Craig Groeschel. Nonfiction is my current bent, though I’m usually a fantasy reader.

I blame getting pregnant on my sister getting mauled by a bear.
If she hadn’t been attacked that day, I wouldn’t have come home to check on her. I wouldn’t have run
into Boone Windsor at that bar. I wouldn’t have gone home with him, ready to drown my sorrows in a
different, more satisfying way.
I wouldn’t have given him that second chance.
Not after he’d so badly burned the first chance.
I would’ve gone back to work half the country away, and I would’ve kept my head in the sand where
Boone was involved.
But my sister did get attacked. I did give Boone a second chance.
And I almost died because of it.
After my memories are lost in an accident that almost takes both of our lives, Boone makes me fall in
love with him all over again.
And since I didn’t know all the hell that awaited me, I didn’t guard my heart.
I fell, and fell, and fell until there was nowhere else to go but down.
Then, when those memories come back and I’m faced with the consequences of my actions, I didn’t
falter.
I knew he was hell, yet I chose to burn with him anyway.
