Books and literature provide us with a way to escape from the everyday world and into different realms of imagination. They transport us to different times and places, and allow us to explore different cultures and worlds.

I can remember curled up with a good book on many occasions, whether it was during a rainy day or when I needed a break from reality. I am so grateful for the ability that books have to whisk us away to another time or place, and to teach us something new about the world around us.

BOOK REVIEWS: The First Score & The Final Play (The Summerville Sports Series #2 & #3) by Amie Knight
Review: The First Score was an older sister’s best friend's sports romance. With the virgin trope and slow burn wrapped together, I loved how this story played out! Oliver and Hazel were emotional, steamy, and made my heart so happy. Especially since the angst was done fabulously.
