Friday Reads

Positively, Penelope and Unveiling Grace book covers side by side on blue floral background

The last Friday of 2023, and it's been a good one! I'm actually in the middle of two Pepper Basham books, so it's been fun to flip back and forth. What a nice way to end the year 😄

📘 Positively, Penelope by Pepper Basham
📗 Unveiling Grace: The Story of How We Found Our Way Out of the Mormon Church by Lynn K. Wilder

Broody enough to make my heart do inconvenient things? Double check. Unfortunately, Zane Beckett also happens to be a famous actor. And our first meeting gets off to a rocky start when he finds out I’ve never seen any of his movi...
